Description
Total Gym ELEVATE Core ADJ: The Elevate Core Machine That Replaced Floor Crunches in 4,000+ Facilities
The Total Gym ELEVATE Core ADJ trains your entire core without a single crunch. It uses an inclined glideboard with 7 resistance levels to load your abs, obliques, and lower back through plank and scrunch movements that traditional ab machines can't replicate. At 12 square feet and 80 lbs, it fits into any corner of a commercial gym, physical therapy clinic, or home setup. The 400 lb user capacity handles virtually every client. If your current core equipment involves lying flat and flexing your spine repeatedly, this replaces it.
RecovAthlete is an authorized Total Gym dealer. Full manufacturer warranty included.
Best For:
- Commercial gyms adding a dedicated core station
- PT clinics needing spine-safe core rehab equipment
- Home gym owners who want real core training (not another ab roller)
- Group fitness facilities running circuit classes
Not Ideal For:
- Anyone looking for full-body training (see the ELEVATE Encompass instead)
- Facilities needing upper body pull and press stations
- Very small spaces under 12 square feet
Why RecovAthlete Carries This
Total Gym's ELEVATE line is the only commercial bodyweight resistance system that lets you train every muscle group across individual stations. We carry the full lineup because facility owners buy multiple units, and they need one dealer who can spec, quote, and ship the complete circuit. We handle that. If you need help deciding between the Core ADJ and the full ELEVATE Circuit package, call us at 866-861-6317.
Who Buys the ELEVATE Core ADJ
- Gym owners replacing worn-out ab benches and crunch machines with something that actually trains functional core strength
- Physical therapists running post-surgical or low-back rehab programs where spinal flexion is contraindicated
- Personal trainers who need a station that accommodates beginners through advanced athletes without switching equipment
- Home gym builders who already own bodyweight or cable equipment and want a dedicated core station that takes serious use
What the Core ADJ Actually Does
Two primary movements. Plank: you hold a forearm plank on the inclined glideboard while it slides. The incline reduces bodyweight loading (you're working against roughly 35 to 65% of your weight depending on the level). Scrunch: the glideboard moves under you while you hold position, recruiting deep stabilizers that a standard crunch never touches.
Seven resistance levels let you start a deconditioned rehab patient at Level 1 and progress a college athlete to Level 7 on the same machine. The rolling glideboard adds instability that forces proprioceptive engagement. Every rep trains the abs, obliques, transverse abdominis, erector spinae, and hip stabilizers as a single integrated unit. That's why it outperforms isolated crunch machines for real-world core function.

Specs Translated Into What They Mean
| Spec | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| 7 incline-adjustable resistance levels | Loads the core through plank and scrunch patterns at scaling intensities. Level 1 works for post-surgical core re-engagement. Level 7 challenges trained athletes. |
| 31 inch glideboard range of motion | Long enough to train full-range core movements (full extension to full flexion) instead of the short, partial-rep crunch range typical on ab benches. |
| 12 sq ft floor space | Replaces ab benches, decline boards, and Roman chairs. Fits between machines on a tight commercial floor. |
| 80 lb unit weight | The lightest ELEVATE station. One person can reposition it. Ideal for facilities that rearrange the floor between sessions. |
| 400 lb max user weight | No client-weight ceiling for core training. Scales from rehab to athlete. |
| 5-year commercial frame warranty | Backed for commercial daily use. |

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Core ADJ different from the original ELEVATE Core?
The ADJ stands for adjustable. The Core ADJ adds 7 resistance levels (the original had fixed resistance), letting you progress from rehab-level loading to advanced athletic training on the same unit. It also includes the forearm pad for plank variations.
Can beginners use this machine?
Yes. Level 1 reduces bodyweight loading to roughly 35%, making it accessible for deconditioned users or post-rehab patients. The inclined glideboard makes planking easier than floor planks because gravity does some of the work.
How does this compare to a Roman chair or GHD machine?
Roman chairs and GHD machines use spinal flexion and extension under load. That's effective but produces compressive forces on the spine. The Core ADJ uses plank-based movements with a sliding glideboard. The spine stays neutral. For clients with disc issues, stenosis, or post-surgical restrictions, the Core ADJ is the safer option. For healthy athletes, it trains functional core stability (anti-extension, anti-rotation) better than flexion-based equipment.
Is this suitable for a physical therapy clinic?
Yes. The Core ADJ is used in PT clinics for lumbar stabilization programs, post-surgical core re-activation, and balance and proprioception training. The 7 resistance levels give you clinical progression without needing multiple machines. The 400 lb capacity covers bariatric patients. Total Gym also sells the RS Encompass and RS LEX for full clinical rehabilitation setups.
Does it fold or store vertically?
No. The Core ADJ is a fixed commercial unit at 12 square feet. It stays in place. For home gym users with limited space, note that 12 sq ft is roughly the size of a yoga mat. Most people position it against a wall.
What's included in the box?
The Core ADJ unit (fully assembled rails and glideboard), forearm pad, hardware, owner's guide. No additional accessories required. Plug-and-play.
Can I finance this purchase?
Yes. We offer financing through Affirm at checkout. For commercial purchases or facility orders over multiple units, call 866-861-6317 for custom financing options through our commercial lending partners.

Financing for Recovery and Fitness Equipment
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.
Personal purchase
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.
Business purchase
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.
Financing by Equipment Category
Every page below has real prices, real monthly payment examples, and the lender comparison for that category. Pick the one you are buying.
Hyperbaric Chamber Financing
Soft-shell and hard-shell HBOT chambers. Session-volume payback math for clinics.
Sauna Financing
Infrared, traditional, barrel, and commercial saunas.
Cold Plunge Financing
Home tubs through commercial chillers and Medical Frozen units.
Red Light Therapy Financing
Panels, pods, and full-body beds for home and clinic.
PEMF Therapy Financing
PEMF mats, systems, and practitioner devices.
Vibration Plate Financing
Whole body vibration platforms for home, studio, and clinic.
Gym Equipment Financing
Home gyms through full commercial strength floors. Finance the floor, not the machine.
Treadmill Financing
Walking pads, commercial belts, and self-powered curved decks.
Commercial Recovery Equipment Financing
Building a recovery room? One quote, one purchase order, one application.
Building a Recovery Room?
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.
Which Lender Should You Apply With?
| 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.

Financing Questions
What are Affirm's rates?
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.
Will applying hurt my credit score?
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.
Can I finance equipment for a business?
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.
Should I finance each machine separately?
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.
Does Section 179 apply to financed equipment?
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.
Can freight and installation be financed?
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.
Can I pay off early?
Yes. Affirm charges no prepayment penalties. Acorn Finance and most business lenders also allow early payoff without penalty.
Not sure which option fits?
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.

The Total Gym ELEVATE Core ADJ trains your entire core without a single crunch. It uses an inclined glideboard with 7 resistance levels to load your abs, obliques, and lower back through plank and scrunch movements that traditional ab machines can't replicate. At 12 square feet and 80 lbs, it fits into any corner of a commercial gym, physical therapy clinic, or home setup. The 400 lb user capacity handles virtually every client. If your current core equipment involves lying flat and flexing your spine repeatedly, this replaces it.
RecovAthlete is an authorized Total Gym dealer. Full manufacturer warranty included.
Best For:
- Commercial gyms adding a dedicated core station
- PT clinics needing spine-safe core rehab equipment
- Home gym owners who want real core training (not another ab roller)
- Group fitness facilities running circuit classes
Not Ideal For:
- Anyone looking for full-body training (see the ELEVATE Encompass instead)
- Facilities needing upper body pull and press stations
- Very small spaces under 12 square feet
Why RecovAthlete Carries This
Total Gym's ELEVATE line is the only commercial bodyweight resistance system that lets you train every muscle group across individual stations. We carry the full lineup because facility owners buy multiple units, and they need one dealer who can spec, quote, and ship the complete circuit. We handle that. If you need help deciding between the Core ADJ and the full ELEVATE Circuit package, call us at 866-861-6317.
Who Buys the ELEVATE Core ADJ
- Gym owners replacing worn-out ab benches and crunch machines with something that actually trains functional core strength
- Physical therapists running post-surgical or low-back rehab programs where spinal flexion is contraindicated
- Personal trainers who need a station that accommodates beginners through advanced athletes without switching equipment
- Home gym builders who already own bodyweight or cable equipment and want a dedicated core station that takes serious use
What the Core ADJ Actually Does
Two primary movements. Plank: you hold a forearm plank on the inclined glideboard while it slides. The incline reduces bodyweight loading (you're working against roughly 35 to 65% of your weight depending on the level). Scrunch: the glideboard moves under you while you hold position, recruiting deep stabilizers that a standard crunch never touches.
Seven resistance levels let you start a deconditioned rehab patient at Level 1 and progress a college athlete to Level 7 on the same machine. The rolling glideboard adds instability that forces proprioceptive engagement. Every rep trains the abs, obliques, transverse abdominis, erector spinae, and hip stabilizers as a single integrated unit. That's why it outperforms isolated crunch machines for real-world core function.

Shipping and Delivery
The ELEVATE Core ADJ ships freight in one box (71 inch by 25 inch by 12 inch, 134 lbs). Delivery times vary by location. Call 866-861-6317 or email info@recovathlete.com for a delivery estimate and quote. Assembly is straightforward. Most facilities have it operational within 30 minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Core ADJ different from the original ELEVATE Core?
The ADJ stands for adjustable. The Core ADJ adds 7 resistance levels (the original had fixed resistance), letting you progress from rehab-level loading to advanced athletic training on the same unit. It also includes the forearm pad for plank variations.
Can beginners use this machine?
Yes. Level 1 reduces bodyweight loading to roughly 35%, making it accessible for deconditioned users or post-rehab patients. The inclined glideboard makes planking easier than floor planks because gravity does some of the work.
How does this compare to a Roman chair or GHD machine?
Roman chairs and GHD machines use spinal flexion and extension under load. That's effective but produces compressive forces on the spine. The Core ADJ uses plank-based movements with a sliding glideboard. The spine stays neutral. For clients with disc issues, stenosis, or post-surgical restrictions, the Core ADJ is the safer option. For healthy athletes, it trains functional core stability (anti-extension, anti-rotation) better than flexion-based equipment.
Is this suitable for a physical therapy clinic?
Yes. The Core ADJ is used in PT clinics for lumbar stabilization programs, post-surgical core re-activation, and balance and proprioception training. The 7 resistance levels give you clinical progression without needing multiple machines. The 400 lb capacity covers bariatric patients. Total Gym also sells the RS Encompass and RS LEX for full clinical rehabilitation setups.
Does it fold or store vertically?
No. The Core ADJ is a fixed commercial unit at 12 square feet. It stays in place. For home gym users with limited space, note that 12 sq ft is roughly the size of a yoga mat. Most people position it against a wall.
What's included in the box?
The Core ADJ unit (fully assembled rails and glideboard), forearm pad, hardware, owner's guide. No additional accessories required. Plug-and-play.
Can I finance this purchase?
Yes. We offer financing through Affirm at checkout. For commercial purchases or facility orders over multiple units, call 866-861-6317 for custom financing options through our commercial lending partners.
Order confirmed. Now what? Your LeisureCraft sauna ships freight from the Dundalk factory in Melancthon, Ontario to your curb. Here is what happens at each stage.
In-stock vs made-to-order Timeline below applies to in-stock LeisureCraft models. Many saunas (custom configurations, larger barrels, Knotty Cedar variants) are built to order and add 4 to 8 weeks. Check your product page or ask before ordering.
What happens after your order is confirmed
-
1 2 to 5 business days
Order processing
Payment clears. Our team verifies your shipping address, confirms model and configuration, and submits to LeisureCraft. You receive a confirmation email with your order number.
You do: Reply to the email if anything looks wrong. Address changes are free now. After dispatch they cost $250. -
2 In stock: 1 week. Made-to-order: 4 to 8 weeks
LeisureCraft prepares your sauna
In stock: the sauna is pulled, inspected, and crated within a week.
Built to order: LeisureCraft mills cedar, assembles, and crates over 4 to 8 weeks. Knotty Cedar and premium configurations sit at the longer end.
Every crate gets corner protection, shrink wrap, and "do not stack" markings. Crates over 92 inches carry forklift extension warnings.
This is your crate Ready to leave Melancthon Every LeisureCraft sauna leaves the Dundalk factory like this. Solid, fully sealed, and protected.You do: Plan unloading. Decide between forklift rental, tilt-tow, or a crew. Confirm an 18-wheeler can reach your address. -
3 Same week as crate completion
Freight booked from Ontario
LeisureCraft loads the crate at the Melancthon facility. We send you a shipping notification with carrier name, PRO number, and estimated transit time. The crate is now legally your property in transit.
You do: Save the PRO number. Track directly on the carrier's website. -
4 5 to 12 business days
In transit (Ontario to your terminal)
The crate crosses the border, then moves through the carrier's terminal network. It typically transfers between 2 and 4 trucks. Customs clearance adds 1 to 2 days.
Most damage happens during this stage, when terminal forklifts pick up crates without the required extensions.
What damage looks like Crate scuffed but intact Outer crate took a hit at a terminal. Contents almost always fine or need a few replacement boards. Most damaged deliveries look like this. -
5 24 to 48 hours before delivery
Carrier calls to schedule
The local terminal calls you to schedule a 4-hour delivery window on a business day. They will not deliver evenings or weekends without an extra fee.
You do: Answer or return the call within 24 hours. Missed calls trigger storage fees of $75 to $150 per day. -
6 Day before delivery
Final prep
LeisureCraft sauna crates run 6 to 14 feet long and weigh 800 to 1,600 pounds. Check exact dimensions in your shipping notification.
- Under 92 inches (smaller barrels, panel kits): carrier may have a lift gate. Driver lowers the crate to ground level.
- Over 92 inches (most cabin saunas, larger barrels): no lift gate fits. You unload yourself.
Three options for crates over 92 inches:
- Forklift with extensions. Rent locally for $250 to $400 per day. LeisureCraft requires pickup from the end, not the side.
- Tilt-tow truck pickup from terminal. Skip home delivery. Tow service collects and tilts the crate onto your driveway. $200 to $500.
- Crew with mechanical advantage. Four to six people, ramps, rollers. Practical only for smaller crates.
-
7 Delivery day, 5 minutes at the curb
Inspection and BOL signing
The driver hands you a Bill of Lading. Do not sign immediately. Walk around the crate first.
Your 5-minute protocol:- Photograph the crate from all 4 sides plus the top.
- Look for cracks, splits, holes, crushed corners.
- Write this on the BOL before signing:
"Crate arrived damaged. Possible hidden damage."
- Sign below your note.
- Get a copy. If the driver refuses, photograph the BOL.
Why this matters: Without a signed BOL noting damage, the freight company denies the claim. LeisureCraft cannot send free replacement wood without it. Even if the crate looks fine, write "possible hidden damage" anyway. That phrase preserves claim rights for 5 to 15 days after delivery. -
8 If you see damage at the curb
Accept or refuse?
Accept it 90% of the time. Even visible damage usually means a few replaceable wood pieces. Refusing sends the crate back across the border and delays your build by 6 to 10 weeks.
The only time refusal makes sense is when the crate is completely destroyed and the wood is loose on a pallet:
Refusal acceptable Crate completely destroyed Wood loose on pallet. Refusing makes sense. You still must sign the BOL noting damage and send it to us, otherwise we cannot file the claim or ship a replacement.Even refusing requires the signed BOL. No signed BOL means no claim, which means no free replacement. Sign first, then refuse if needed. -
9 Within 24 hours of delivery
Send us the paperwork
Email support@recovathlete.com with:
- Photo of the signed BOL with damage notation
- Photos of the crate from all sides
- Your order number in the subject line
We coordinate with LeisureCraft and the freight company. Replacement wood ships at no cost.
-
10 After delivery
Open the crate and inventory
Use the LeisureCraft Bill of Material printed on the crate to inventory every component. If you find damage that was not visible at the curb:
- Photograph each damaged piece with the crate visible.
- List part numbers and quantities damaged.
- Email us within 5 days of delivery.
This is why "possible hidden damage" on the BOL matters. That phrase keeps your claim alive for damage that surfaces during unboxing. -
11 5 to 10 business days after claim
Replacement wood arrives
LeisureCraft ships replacement boards, hardware, or full panels depending on damage. Smaller pieces ship via parcel from Ontario. Larger components ship via freight again.
Your sauna build can typically continue while you wait. We help you figure out which parts are critical-path.

Common questions
What if the driver pressures me to sign without inspecting?
Drivers must allow inspection time. Tell them you need 5 minutes. If they refuse, write "Driver refused inspection time. Possible damage." on the BOL before signing. Photograph everything.
What if I sign clean and find damage when I open the crate?
Concealed damage claims are much harder to win. Always note "possible hidden damage" on the BOL even if the crate looks fine. That phrase preserves claim rights for 5 to 15 days after delivery.
Can the truck deliver to my backyard or garage?
No. Freight delivery ends at the curb or end of your driveway. The driver will not back an 18-wheeler onto private property. White glove inside delivery is available for an extra $400 to $1,200. Ask before ordering.
What if my road is too narrow for an 18-wheel truck?
Tell us at order time. We can request a smaller box truck for an extra fee, or arrange terminal pickup. Failed delivery attempts trigger redelivery fees of $150 to $300.
Who pays for replacement wood if damage is the carrier's fault?
You pay nothing. With a signed BOL noting damage plus photos, we coordinate with LeisureCraft to ship replacement wood free.
How long does the whole process take from order to install?
In-stock: 3 to 5 weeks. Made-to-order: 7 to 12 weeks. Custom configurations and Knotty Cedar variants run at the longer end.
How do I know if my model is in stock or made to order?
Check the product page for stock status. If unclear, email support@recovathlete.com with the model name. We confirm with LeisureCraft within one business day.
Is there sales tax or duty on the shipment from Canada?
No. LeisureCraft handles cross-border customs through their freight carrier. The price at checkout includes all duties for delivery to the continental US.

- LeisureCraft inspects the return and determines the refund amount based on condition.
Refused damaged delivery is not a return. If your crate arrives damaged, do not refuse it without notation. See our delivery day protocol. Refused delivery without proper damage notation triggers a 15% restocking fee plus rerouting costs.
Heads up: Crate damage is handled separately from returns. Damaged crates are covered free of charge if you follow the BOL signing protocol on our shipping page.
Common questions
Does the warranty cover the sauna heater or stove?
No. Sauna heaters and stoves carry separate warranties from their respective manufacturers (Harvia, Huum, Tylo, etc.). Warranty length and terms vary by brand. Documentation comes with the heater. Contact us for direct support with the heater manufacturer.
What counts as "natural weather effects" that are excluded?
Wood is a natural material. UV fade, minor checking, slight warping, and seasonal expansion or contraction are normal and not covered. Structural defects from weather (warping that prevents assembly, splits that compromise integrity) may be covered if reported promptly with photos.
Can I transfer the warranty to a new owner if I sell the sauna?
No. Dundalk warranties cover the original consumer only. If you sell or gift your sauna, the warranty does not transfer.
What if I use my sauna commercially?
The standard warranty covers residential use only. Commercial use (gyms, spas, wellness studios, rentals) requires a separate warranty agreement. Contact us before installation if your use is commercial.
How do I file a warranty claim?
Email support@recovathlete.com with your order number, photos of the defect, and a description of the issue. We coordinate with LeisureCraft directly. Most claims resolve in 7 to 14 business days with replacement parts shipped at no cost.
What if the issue is with the assembly, not a defect?
Send photos and the page reference from the assembly manual. If the issue is documented in the manual or covered by our build guides, we can usually resolve it remotely. Assembly errors are not covered by warranty, but we help troubleshoot at no charge.
Does Dundalk replace damaged wood for free even out of warranty?
Yes, when damage occurred in transit and you have a signed BOL noting damage plus photos. This is separate from warranty and applies regardless of warranty status. See shipping page for the BOL protocol.
Why is the cancellation window only 24 hours for Canadian Timber Collection?
Canadian Timber Collection saunas use premium imported materials sourced specifically for each order. Once production begins, those materials are committed. The 24-hour window protects both you and the manufacturer.
Need to start a claim or return?
We coordinate directly with LeisureCraft. Send your order number plus photos for fastest resolution.
