  1. OLD MACHINE – new attachments???
    Does anyone know if I can use any/all of the new attachments on my old machine? I LOVE MY TOTAL GYM, had it for over 20 years but interested in the new options without a whole new machine. My machine is black/blue with the little sliver bolt-like pins that adjust the height, pull up bars etc.
    Anyone??
    THANK YOU in advance for any help, I appreciate it & WISH YOU ALL A HEALTHY HAPPY NEW YEAR!

    1. Shannon, give our customer service department a call. They should be able to tell you A) what gym you have, and B) what attachments will be able to fit your gym.
