Description
Total Gym ELEVATE Encompass: 250+ Exercises, One Machine, Zero Weight Plates
The Total Gym ELEVATE Encompass delivers 250+ exercises through a single inclined glideboard system. No weight plates. No cable stacks. Your bodyweight works against gravity, adjusted across multiple resistance levels. It handles chest press, leg work, rows, squats, and Pilates-style core training on one machine. At 180 lbs with a footprint smaller than most multi-station gyms, it fits where selectorized equipment can't. This is the machine that makes standalone stations optional for general-purpose training.
RecovAthlete is an authorized Total Gym dealer. Full manufacturer warranty included.
Best For:
- Home gym owners who want full-body training from one machine
- Personal trainers running small-space studios
- PT clinics needing versatile rehab equipment
- Facilities replacing aging multi-station cable systems
Not Ideal For:
- Powerlifters who need heavy barbell loading (bodyweight resistance only)
- Facilities that need dedicated core-only or plyo-only stations (see individual ELEVATE stations)
Why RecovAthlete Carries This
We carry the complete Total Gym ELEVATE and RS lineup. That matters when you're outfitting a facility and need one dealer to spec the full floor. We handle multi-unit quotes, freight coordination, and warranty support for the entire system. Call 866-861-6317.
Who Buys the ELEVATE Encompass
- Home gym owners replacing a rack of machines with one unit covering every muscle group
- PT clinics using closed-chain bodyweight loading for post-surgical rehab
- Small studio operators who need versatility without 500 sq ft of equipment
- Athletic trainers programming sport-specific movements with progressive resistance
What the ELEVATE Encompass Does
The Encompass uses an inclined glideboard on anodized aluminum rails. You lie, sit, kneel, or stand on the board and push against gravity. Changing the incline changes the percentage of bodyweight you lift. Lower angle = easier. Higher angle = harder. The accessory package adds a squat stand, wing attachment, and press bars so you can replicate chest press, shoulder press, rows, squats, leg press, and Pilates movements. 250+ exercises is Total Gym's count. Realistically, most users rotate through 30-40 core movements that cover push, pull, squat, hinge, and core.

Specs Translated Into What They Mean
| Spec | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Bodyweight resistance, incline-adjustable | No weight plates to buy, store, or load. Resistance scales by changing the incline angle, so a 120 lb client and a 250 lb athlete can train on the same unit without setup changes. |
| 180 lb unit weight | Heavy enough to stay anchored under heavy pulling and pressing. Two people can reposition it. Not designed to fold for daily storage. |
| 400 lb max user weight | Sized for athletic populations and bariatric clients. No user-weight cutoff that excludes a meaningful portion of your training population. |
| Anodized aluminum rails, sealed bearings | Smooth glide that doesn't degrade with high-volume use. The bearings are the wear point on lesser units. These are spec'd for commercial duty. |
| 250+ exercise count | Replaces a chest press station, lat pulldown, leg press, and Pilates reformer in roughly 25 sq ft of floor space. |
| 5-year frame warranty (commercial) | Total Gym backs the frame at the commercial tier, not the residential 90-day frame warranty common on lower-priced glideboard machines. |

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.

Total Gym ELEVATE Encompass: 250+ Exercises, One Machine, Zero Weight Plates
The Total Gym ELEVATE Encompass delivers 250+ exercises through a single inclined glideboard system. No weight plates. No cable stacks. Your bodyweight works against gravity, adjusted across multiple resistance levels. It handles chest press, leg work, rows, squats, and Pilates-style core training on one machine. At 180 lbs with a footprint smaller than most multi-station gyms, it fits where selectorized equipment can't. This is the machine that makes standalone stations optional for general-purpose training.
RecovAthlete is an authorized Total Gym dealer. Full manufacturer warranty included.
Best For:
- Home gym owners who want full-body training from one machine
- Personal trainers running small-space studios
- PT clinics needing versatile rehab equipment
- Facilities replacing aging multi-station cable systems
Not Ideal For:
- Powerlifters who need heavy barbell loading (bodyweight resistance only)
- Facilities that need dedicated core-only or plyo-only stations (see individual ELEVATE stations)
Why RecovAthlete Carries This
We carry the complete Total Gym ELEVATE and RS lineup. That matters when you're outfitting a facility and need one dealer to spec the full floor. We handle multi-unit quotes, freight coordination, and warranty support for the entire system. Call 866-861-6317.
Who Buys the ELEVATE Encompass
- Home gym owners replacing a rack of machines with one unit covering every muscle group
- PT clinics using closed-chain bodyweight loading for post-surgical rehab
- Small studio operators who need versatility without 500 sq ft of equipment
- Athletic trainers programming sport-specific movements with progressive resistance
What the ELEVATE Encompass Does
The Encompass uses an inclined glideboard on anodized aluminum rails. You lie, sit, kneel, or stand on the board and push against gravity. Changing the incline changes the percentage of bodyweight you lift. Lower angle = easier. Higher angle = harder. The accessory package adds a squat stand, wing attachment, and press bars so you can replicate chest press, shoulder press, rows, squats, leg press, and Pilates movements. 250+ exercises is Total Gym's count. Realistically, most users rotate through 30-40 core movements that cover push, pull, squat, hinge, and core.

Specs Translated Into What They Mean
| Spec | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Bodyweight resistance, incline-adjustable | No weight plates to buy, store, or load. Resistance scales by changing the incline angle, so a 120 lb client and a 250 lb athlete can train on the same unit without setup changes. |
| 180 lb unit weight | Heavy enough to stay anchored under heavy pulling and pressing. Two people can reposition it. Not designed to fold for daily storage. |
| 400 lb max user weight | Sized for athletic populations and bariatric clients. No user-weight cutoff that excludes a meaningful portion of your training population. |
| Anodized aluminum rails, sealed bearings | Smooth glide that doesn't degrade with high-volume use. The bearings are the wear point on lesser units. These are spec'd for commercial duty. |
| 250+ exercise count | Replaces a chest press station, lat pulldown, leg press, and Pilates reformer in roughly 25 sq ft of floor space. |
| 5-year frame warranty (commercial) | Total Gym backs the frame at the commercial tier, not the residential 90-day frame warranty common on lower-priced glideboard machines. |
What Ships With It
- ELEVATE Encompass glideboard unit (180 lbs)

- Wing attachment (lat pulldown and row variations)
- Press bars (chest press, shoulder press, dip movements)
- Leg pulley system (leg curl, leg extension, hip work)

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?
