The Total Gym RS Encompass is a Recovery Series incline trainer built for clinics. Patients ride a glideboard up angled rails and work against part of their own bodyweight. You set that load in 22 levels, from 1% to 62% of bodyweight. It sits in our range of Total Gym equipment.
The RS Encompass has no remote handles. For touch-control level changes while the patient keeps exercising, the RS Encompass PowerTower adds them.
It fits physical therapy clinics, chiropractic offices, sports medicine rooms and hospital outpatient gyms. Total Gym builds it for commercial use. In use, it covers 106 by 38 inches of floor and stands 57 inches tall.
Skip it for users over 350 lbs, users taller than 6 ft 5 in, or any outdoor space. If you need level changes mid-exercise, see the note above.
We are an authorized Total Gym dealer, so Total Gym's US commercial warranty applies. It covers the frame for 5 years, parts and upholstery for 1 year, and foam and rubber for 90 days. We check your room and route before the order goes in.
Personal and business financing are available. Clinics can finance the RS Encompass as equipment. Ask us for current rates and terms.
Ships by freight on a pallet, with assembly required. The Before You Order tab covers the floor, route, assembly and package choice.
Choose it when you want the Closed Chain Platform, dip bars and Slide Distance Regulator on one folding unit. It stands 57 inches tall, 23 inches lower than the PowerTower. Ask us for the current lead time and a delivered quote.
Proprioception means sensing where the body is in space. Total Gym also lists lower-body strength assessment among the machine's uses. Full measurements are on the Specifications tab.

Yes. Total Gym lists a self-locking motorized lead screw level changer in the RS Encompass tower, and a lift system that lets the therapist raise or lower the levels. The RS Encompass PowerTower adds remote control handles for touch-control changes while exercising, plus 26 levels and loads up to 72% of bodyweight. The Comparison tab sets the two side by side.
The Clinical Complete Package option adds four accessories. The Leg Pulley System clips to a tower crosspin, with two foot harnesses for both-leg work and an ankle harness for one leg. The Weight Bar hooks onto the top of the glideboard to hold plates and gives an attachment point for a BAPS board. The Press Bar mounts at the base of the rails as a fixed handhold and is not a pull-up bar. The SCRUNCH is a padded platform that fits the upper or lower rails for early closed-chain work with partial loading.
Both use the same incline glideboard idea. The RS Encompass belongs to Total Gym's Recovery Series for clinics. It ships with the Closed Chain Platform, BAPS adapter (US orders), Slide Distance Regulator, retractable dip bars and squat handle bar. The ELEVATE Encompass is Total Gym's commercial fitness version, so check its page for its own included parts.
Yes, if the room fits it. Total Gym rates the RS Encompass for commercial use, and the owner's guide covers both home and clinic setups. The guide says children and injured users should only use it with close supervision. Most home buyers with no clinical accessory needs look at the ELEVATE Encompass instead.
The user works against part of their own bodyweight on an inclined glideboard. A steeper incline means a higher load. Total Gym gives 22 calibrated incline levels with infinite adjustment between them, covering 1% to 62% of bodyweight. The owner's guide charts the load in pounds and kilograms at every level.
Yes, with the optional Weight Bar, which comes with the Clinical Complete Package option. It takes plate weights with a 1 inch bore. Load both sides equally and secure each end with a clamp before use. Bodyweight plus plates must stay at or under 650 lbs. The user should face the machine so the plates stay in view.
Connect the center pulley to one of the crosspins in the tower's center channel instead of the glideboard. The owner's guide says this doubles the resistance compared with the glideboard connection. Only use a crosspin at the same level as the arm pulleys or below. If the cable is too long for full range of motion, move the center pulley to a lower crosspin.
Total Gym counts over 200 exercises and variations on the machine, covering strength work through Pilates-based routines. These include closed-chain squats and presses on the platform, cable pulls from the LAT bars, and dips on the retractable bars. Patients can work in all three planes of movement. With the rail locks engaged at high incline, the unit also handles plyometric jumps for upper and lower body.
No, assembly is required. Open the lid, lift out the inner boxes and unfold the box end at the tower base. Then stand the unit upright and roll it to its spot; the guide says not to lift it out of the box. Install the left LAT bar first, then the right. Next come the folding foot holder, the folding platform with the Closed Chain Platform, and the cable handles. The spanner wrench, LAT nut hex wrench and thread locker come in the hardware box.
For short moves, lift it from the rail base. You can also set it at level 8, lock the detent pin into the tower cross arm and lift there. For longer moves, fold it with the handles stowed and the rail fold latch engaged. Then stand behind the tower, grasp the transport handle and roll it like a hand truck.
Daily, wipe padded surfaces with an antibacterial cleaner and check that the glideboard rolls smoothly. Weekly, inspect the cables, wipe the rails, check fasteners, level changes and pulleys, and look over the pads. Monthly, remove the glideboard to clean the wheels and inspect the rubber stoppers and upholstery. Never put lubricant or silicone products on the rails or wheels, because the wheels will slide instead of roll. Lubricant is fine on the folding hinges, and the glideboard cleans with a non-oil window cleaner.
Buying for yourself, spread the cost through Affirm at checkout. Buying for a gym, clinic, spa, or studio, apply with one of four business lenders and put the whole room on a single application.
RecovAthlete has no control over any financing decision. Approval is based on your creditworthiness and is solely the lender's decision.
Affirm at checkout. Rates run 0% to 36% APR based on your credit profile. Soft check to prequalify, so no impact on your score. No prepayment penalty.
Brickhouse Capital, Reliant Capital, Acorn Finance, or KWIPPED. Apply with two of the four and compare. Financed equipment can qualify for a Section 179 deduction. Confirm with your accountant.
Every page below has real prices, real monthly payment examples, and the lender comparison for that category. Pick the one you are buying.
Most business buyers are not buying one machine. They are building a room. Sauna, cold plunge, red light, vibration, hyperbaric, cryotherapy, and halotherapy all finance on the same paper through the same four lenders, and RecovAthlete quotes every category on one purchase order.
That means one freight schedule, one install window, and one financing application instead of six. It also gets you a better rate, because a bigger number on one application beats six small ones with six hard inquiries.
See commercial recovery equipment financing, or call 866-861-6317 and we will price the room.
| Lender | Type | Amount | Speed | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Affirm | Consumer, at checkout | Order total | Seconds | Personal purchases. 0% to 36% APR based on credit. Soft check to prequalify. |
| Brickhouse Capital | Direct equipment lender | Up to $250K on a one-page application, $1M+ with financials | ~24 hours | A full room or a full floor. Credit decisions made in-house. Tied to the business, not your personal credit report. |
| Reliant Capital | Lender and broker | Up to $500K application-only, $5M with financials | 2 to 4 hours | Medical, aesthetic, and wellness. Deferred payment options. New or used equipment. |
| Acorn Finance | Lending marketplace | $1,000 to $100,000 | 60 seconds to prequalify | Comparing offers. One application goes to 30 or more lenders with no impact to your score. |
| KWIPPED (APPROVE) | Lender marketplace | Minimum $1,500 equipment value | 60-second application | Larger commercial orders. Lenders compete, which usually returns the best APR. Businesses only. |
Apply with two of the four and compare. It costs nothing and the spread between offers is often significant.

Pay in 4 splits the purchase into four interest-free payments charged every two weeks. Monthly installments spread the cost over a longer term, with rates from 0% to 36% APR depending on your credit profile. You see the exact terms before you agree to anything. No origination fees, no prepayment penalty, no late fees.
Prequalification does not. Affirm and Acorn Finance both run a soft check to show you offers, which has no impact on your score. Proceeding with a monthly installment plan or a business loan may involve a hard inquiry. That is why it pays to prequalify with more than one lender first and only proceed with the best offer.
Yes, and for most business buyers it is the better route. Brickhouse funds up to $250,000 on a one-page application with no financial statements. Reliant approves in 2 to 4 hours. Business financing is usually tied to the business rather than your personal credit report, and financed equipment can qualify for a Section 179 deduction. Confirm the tax position with your accountant.
No. This is the most common and most expensive mistake. Separate applications mean separate hard inquiries, separate payments, and a worse rate on each, because every individual ticket is small. Get one quote from RecovAthlete covering everything you are buying, including freight, and put that single number on one application.
Financed equipment can qualify. Section 179 lets US businesses deduct the cost of qualifying equipment in the year it is placed in service, and financing the purchase does not by itself disqualify it. The equipment must be in service, not merely ordered, within the tax year. Annual limits and eligibility rules are set by the IRS and change year to year, so consult your accountant.
Freight, yes. On Affirm it is part of the order total at checkout. On business financing, put freight on the RecovAthlete quote and the whole quote amount goes on the application. Installation and room construction are harder, because some equipment lenders will not fund non-equipment costs. Ask the lender before you sign.
Yes. Affirm charges no prepayment penalties. Acorn Finance and most business lenders also allow early payoff without penalty.
Tell us what you are buying and whether it is personal or for a business. We will point you at the right two lenders and quote freight and install as one number, which is also the number that goes on the application.
