The difficulty can be increased or decreased by changing the level of resistance. There are 7 levels to choose from. Why would I purchase this machine? The versatility and simplicity of the ELEVATE® Core ADJ allows it to be used as a self-serve piece of equipment on the gym floor as well as for use by Personal Trainers with their clients or in a small group training setting.

Yes, additional exercise options can be found on the Total Gym website here www.totalgym.com/c-15145-core-trainer.aspx Testimonials "In regards to the ELEVATE® Core ADJ, in brief I love it. Our members are always on it and it has become a key piece in the club. The reasons why, I believe are as follows: 1. It’s simple. Unlike many other pieces you just get on it and go and I noticed once members see someone on it, they have to try it and then it becomes a key part of their workout. 2. No set up required. You don’t have to rack weights, move pins, adjust the seat or be of a certain fitness level to use it. 3. Diverse. In the Fort Walton Beach location they have a similar piece but the knee pad is half-moon shaped instead of straight making it an acquired ride and the user can’t do lunges or planks on it either." - Chris Gately, Workout Anytime, Panama City “This thing is amazing! As a new mom, I’m always looking for new exercises that focus on my core. The ELEVATE® Core ADJ is the solution! Just because it’s easy to use doesn’t make the burn feel any less intense. There are great diagrams that show you how to use it. I will be using the Core Trainer during every workout from now on.” - Gym Member “Our members expect top quality and cutting edge equipment like the ELEVATE® Core ADJ. We were impressed by its simplicity and versatility. Our personal trainers can use it effectively, and our members can challenge themselves in individual workouts. Members have really enjoyed using the Core Trainer. They appreciate the simple instructions and the opportunity to try a different type of ab workout. Trainers appreciate the opportunity to differentiate between the variety of positions and be creative with new exercises.” - Polly Dong, Health Fitness Director, Mission Valley YMCA “Much better workout than crunches.” - Gym Member “It’s more fun than just having the roman chair!” - Gym Member “It’s great for the Abs!” - Gym Member “Love it! It’s so easy to use.” - Gym Member “This is a great machine!” - Gym Member “Members like the ELEVATE® Core ADJ because it works! If you put somebody on it and the next day they're sore, it works especially compared to putting someone on the ground to do crunches (which not everyone likes because of neck or back issues). I've see all the trainers use it. It's easy to use!” - Brenda Smith, Club Manager, Workout Anytime Health, OH “I liked it because it didn't pinch my lower back.” - Gym Member Videos Sequence Demo Scrunch (Advanced) Pike More Videos
