In 1996, *Total Gym® aired its first television infomercial featuring Chuck Norris and co-host Christie Brinkley. The infomercial gym, shown right, is a great machine with a lot of great features. But, if you are like a lot of people out there, you are sticker-shocked by the price of over $1,500 plus shipping... And you may be thinking, "There's got to be something out there... some machine that offers similar features, even some better features for less money."
The good news is there is such a machine... Bayou's Pilates Trainer. It offers the same great resistance training you're already familiar with plus some added features for hundreds less than Chuck Norris's infomercial gym. With Bayou's Pilates Trainer you get a solid high quality incline resistance trainer, a great workout and the body you've always wanted... FOR LESS! Still, people wonder how we do it. First of all, they wonder how can we build a quality machine and sell it for so little money. The answer is simple! Instead of spending millions of dollars on celebrity hosts or endorsements, we decided to put more money into the product.
The result: .1 bigger rollers for smooth movements... .2 bigger, heavier side rails for stability... .3 the addition of a power bar for more resistance... .4 including a Bicep Curl Bar for more exercise options... .5 adding Pilates Resistance Band Technology... .6 a toe bar... .7 Pilates shoulder pads... .8 and including dual leg cuffs to complete our Pilates package... makes Bayou's Pilates Trainer an excellent choice for your entire family... and is priced not to break your pocketbook. |

ADVANCED PRO AB (STOMACH) CRUNCH STRAP
The Pro AB strap has been reshaped and lengthened to give you more control. This new creative design gives a more comfortable feel to the shoulders and neck while allowing you to concentrate on developing tighter, more defined ABs. | |
BICEP CURL PRESS BAR
One of the most popular attachments is the Bicep Curl Press Bar. This bar is interchangeable with the conventional twin handle system, which makes the Total Trainer more versatile. | |
POWER BAR
The power bar allows you to add standard free weights to the Total Trainer®. Advanced users often add weight to increase the resistance while performing exercises such as leg squats, calf raises, etc. | | |

SIT-UP CUFF STRAP

FOLDS AND ROLLS

Testing has shown that the safest and quickest way to reshape and define your hips, thighs and buttocks is by concentrating on one muscle group at a time. | |

COMPARE
When reviewing the comparison chart, you will find that Bayou's Pilates Trainer has many unique Pilates attachments that are not available on Total Gym®.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? |
|
|
The difference is the Pilates Resistance Bands. Resistance Bands are not included with the $1,500 infomercial gym and are not available as an optional attachment. The following are photos of Pilates exercises using Resistance Band Technology. Most of the exercises pictured below require resistance... and the Pilates Resistance Bands give you that resistance. "You can really feel the difference... and it's so smooth."
