A member kneels on the glideboard, takes the handles at the low end of the rails and lies down. Then they press up the rails until their arms are straight. The Total Gym ELEVATE Press turns the shoulder press upside down. It has 7 incline levels and a 400 lb user rating.
It is the pressing station in the ELEVATE line of Total Gym commercial fitness equipment. Total Gym designs and intends it for commercial use.
How the inverted press works, from Total Gym.
RecovAthlete is an authorized Total Gym dealer. Orders carry the factory warranty and direct Total Gym support.
Total Gym requires the station to be anchored to the floor. Bolts are not in the box, so plan the anchors before delivery.
Each level raises the rails and the share of body weight a member lifts. Level 1 is 15%, level 4 is 35% and level 7 is 50%. The incline release lever sets the level, and the FAQ tab gives the steps.
In use, the ELEVATE Press measures 66 x 39 x 41 inches and covers 14 square feet. Resistance comes from body weight on the incline, and the owner's guide lists no power connection.
It ships in one box of 71.5 x 21 x 13.5 inches at 130 lbs. Total Gym warrants the frame for 5 years on US commercial terms. Care is a daily wipe-down, plus weekly and monthly checks.

Yes. Total Gym designs and intends the ELEVATE Press for commercial use, with trainers or clinicians guiding users. The member lies in an inverted position and presses their own body up an incline. The same station runs a decline push-up.
Total Gym publishes the load per level. Level 1 is 15%, level 2 is 20%, level 3 is 25% and level 4 is 35%. Level 5 is 40%, level 6 is 45% and level 7 is 50%. A 200 lb member lifts about 30 lbs on level 1 and 100 lbs on level 7.
A standard machine or barbell asks for a fixed load that many members cannot lift yet. On the ELEVATE Press they lift only 15% to 50% of their body weight. People who could not shoulder press before can start here. Total Gym says every rep still works the whole upper body.
Total Gym says the inverted position unloads the lower back and reduces spinal compression. It also says the closed-chain design steadies the shoulder girdle. Per Total Gym, that reduces the impingement felt on traditional shoulder press machines. These are Total Gym's design statements, not medical claims from us. Anyone with a back or shoulder condition should ask their physician before training.
Total Gym rates it for users up to 400 lbs (181 kg). Exercises progress or regress to suit all fitness levels. Children may use it only with close adult supervision. Total Gym advises checking with a physician before starting any exercise program.
Total Gym designs it for commercial use, and it must be bolted to the floor. For training at home, ask us about Total Gym's home models before you order.

The owner's guide covers the decline press-up and the decline push-up. Total Gym's ELEVATE workouts add a wide-grip and a plyometric shoulder press. Its videos also show a single-arm press. The placard on the machine has a QR code to more exercises.
Select the incline level. Kneel on the glideboard, grasp the handles, then lie down. Push yourself and the glideboard up the rails until your arms are fully extended, then lower back to the start.
To add resistance, raise the rails to the level you want. To reduce it, lift the rails slightly and push the incline release lever down. Then lower the rails to the new level.
Total Gym calls it a reliable tool for assessing upper body strength. Each level is a set share of body weight. Trainers can log the level and reps a member reaches, then retest later.
Yes, through the anchor feet. Total Gym does not allow it to stand loose. The floor and bolt requirements are on the Before You Order tab.
Assembly takes two people, and the tools come in the hardware box. The last step is placing the station in its permanent spot and bolting it down.
Raise the rails to the top level first. Then lift from the rear base. The transport wheels sit on the rail base at the other end.
After each use, wipe the padded surfaces with antibacterial cleanser. Daily, roll the glideboard up and down; if it sticks, clean the rails and wheels with a soft lint-free cloth. Weekly, wipe the rails with a non-corrosive cleaner with no alkaline or alcohol, then check all screws and pads. Monthly, inspect and clean the rollers, inspect the rubber stoppers and replace worn parts.
Never put lubricant or silicone products on the rails or wheels. Clean the glideboard with a non oil-based window cleaner, never Armor All or similar. Some black powder inside the rails is normal.
Total Gym's US commercial warranty covers the frame for 5 years. Rubber and moving parts get 1 year, and upholstery 90 days. Warranties outside the US may differ. Claims need a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number from Total Gym. Ask us and we will point you to the right contact.

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.
