Great upgrade from original squat stand
Great upgrade from the smaller squat stand that came with my TG. I’m 5’11" and had a hard time placing my feet properly on the original. Now I have an expanded area for foot placement and the additional benefit of the toe bar for pilates workouts.

Great for Side Squats!
Side squats are so much better with the larger foot stand. So glad I got it.

Nice upgrade from the standard TotalGym squat pad
Soft pad allows use without shoes & is easy on the joints. Toe bar is convenient for going from squats to calf raises…quick changeover. One improvement I would make on TotalGym squat stands are for wider boards to allow you to do wide deep squats. Adding another 6" on each side would be great. If they don’t want to make a wider board, then create an attachment to use on their existing boards so you can get this added width.

Great combo!
This is a great value! A large squat stand *and* the toe bar in an easy-to-use, space-saving combination!

Much better foot stand
I love this. So much better than the foot stand that came with my Total Gym. Now I don’t have to worry about hurting my knees. I also love that it has 2 functions so I can do Pilate moves.

Nice middle ground
Nice combination of toe bar and squat stand. It is a bit smaller than the standard toe bar and that is why I deducted a star.
They should have used the full sized toe bar and a bit larger squat board in my opinion. The padding on the stand is nice and it certainly is an improvement over the oval squat board.
It fills the middle ground between large squat stand and large toe bar but could easily have replaced the two. As it is I mainly use it for the squat stand and use a normal toe bar just because I have one. If you want both the large stand and toe bar but would like to save some money this will work just fine.
I do normal squats with weights, (goblet squats because of a back issue), using a unit I designed and built myself. The TGF I use for deep squats to enhance mobility and flexibility and for these purposes it’s a great unit. By reducing my body weight and adding back support I can lower my butt to my heels and raise without injury to back or knees. This is doing wonders for my 55 year old legs.
Although the Total Gym is NOT a body builder system it IS a Fitness system. For anyone seeking to improve fitness or maintain it I personally think the Total Gym is a great peace of equipment.
