The Total Gym Power Tower is the Recovery Series Encompass PowerTower (item 5300-05), a motorized incline trainer for clinics. A patient lies, sits or kneels on a rolling glideboard and works against part of their own bodyweight. Press a button on the handle and the rails rise or drop a level. It is the only motorized model in our range of Total Gym incline trainers.
RecovAthlete is an authorized Total Gym dealer, so the Total Gym US commercial warranty applies.
The motor runs from a grounded wall outlet, and Total Gym builds this unit for supervised commercial use. If you do not need mid-exercise level changes, the Total Gym RS Encompass covers 22 levels without the remote handles.
It fits physical therapy clinics, sports performance rooms, athletic training rooms and hospital outpatient gyms. Clinicians use it for closed-chain leg work, cable pulls, core work, balance work and plyometric jumps on one frame.
Users must be under 350 lb and 6 ft 5 in. It is indoor only. Skip it for an outdoor space or for a home gym without supervision.
In use it covers 106 x 38 inches of floor and stands 65 inches tall. Folded, it takes 20 x 38 inches. It plugs into a grounded 115 or 230 VAC outlet with no hardwiring. It ships by freight on a pallet and needs assembly. The Before You Order tab walks through each check.
Choose the Base PowerTower, or the Clinical Complete Package with four extra clinical accessories. The Comparison tab shows what each one adds.
We are an authorized Total Gym dealer, so the manufacturer's US commercial warranty is valid. We check your room, outlet and route before the order goes in.
Personal and business financing are available. Clinics can finance the Power Tower as equipment. Ask us for current rates and terms.

Both are the same motorized Total Gym Power Tower with the same standard accessories. The Clinical Complete Package (PTCP17) adds four clinical accessories: the Leg Pulley System, Weight Bar, Press Bar and SCRUNCH. Total Gym lists 200+ exercises for the base unit and 250+ with the package. Pick the configuration at the top of this page.
The SCRUNCH pins onto the upper rails, or the bottom of the rails, for kneeling forearm work. The Weight Bar hooks onto the top of the glideboard and takes plates loaded evenly on both sides. The Press Bar pins onto the lower rails near the base and is not a pull-up bar. The Leg Pulley System clips to a crosspin in the tower's center channel.
The Power Tower adds a motor and remote control handles, so the incline changes while the patient keeps exercising. It also runs 26 levels up to 72% of bodyweight, against 22 levels up to 62% on the RS Encompass. The RS Encompass stands lower and has no remote handles. The Comparison tab sets them side by side.
The current price for each configuration shows at the top of this page. The Clinical Complete Package costs more because it adds four accessories. Personal and business financing are available, and we can quote delivery to your facility.
Total Gym designs and rates this unit for commercial use, where a trainer supervises and checks safety rules. It also needs a grounded outlet and indoor floor space of 106 x 38 inches. For a home setup, talk to us first about whether a non-motorized Total Gym model suits the space better.
Press the rocker switch on top of the tower, or the buttons on either remote handle. The rails move only while you hold the switch, and limit switches stop them at the top and bottom. Total Gym quotes about 30 seconds to rise from bottom to top and 20 seconds to lower, varying under load.
Each level adds about 2.5% of the user's bodyweight. Total Gym's example: a 150 lb person at level 16 (about 22 degrees) works against 69 lb. Pulley use changes the figure, and the chart explains how to divide it for one-hand or center-pulley pulls. The full resistance chart is on the Manuals tab.
Yes, with the Weight Bar, which comes in the Clinical Complete Package. Plates with a 1 inch bore load equally on both sides and clamp on the ends. User plus plates must stay at or under 650 lb in total. The user should face the weights through the whole exercise.
Yes. A regulator built into the rails stops the glideboard short of full travel, for protocols that restrict range of motion. The clinician decides the setting for each patient. The glideboard's full rolling range is 40 inches.
Yes. At steep settings the rail hinge locks itself, which holds the rails steady for plyometric jumps. They release on their own at low inclines so the rails can fold. Total Gym says not to use the unit if the locks are not working properly.
The base unit covers 200+ exercises, from cable pulls and squats to core and Pilates-based work. Total Gym also runs a Physical Therapy In-Service video program for clinical staff at totalgymphysicaltherapy.com/pt-service, plus a range of training DVDs. The Videos tab shows how to fold and unfold the unit.
A grounded wall outlet. The motor adapts to 115 or 230 VAC at 50 or 60 Hz. A standard grounded US outlet works. Do not modify the plug. Outside the US, you need the right power cord or adapter for your outlet.
Allow a footprint of 106 by 38 inches in use, plus room for the clinician at the side. Total Gym lists 65 inches tall in its specs and 78 inches in its fit FAQ, so plan for 78. Folded, it measures 20 x 38 inches. The Before You Order tab lists the ceiling, wall and doorway checks.
Check that the safety key sits in the top of the tower and the power switch light glows red. If the light is off, check the 5 A fuse near the power inlet. A spare sits in the fuse holder. After a voltage drop, switch the unit off and on to reset it.
Freight delivers it on one pallet of about 306 lb, and you assemble it on site. The Before You Order tab covers the route, unpacking and damage checks.
Total Gym's US commercial warranty covers the frame for 5 years and the motor for 2 years. Parts and upholstery get 1 year, and foam and rubber get 90 days. Damage from third-party or homemade accessories, or unauthorized service, is excluded. Warranties outside the US may differ.
Wipe the pads after each use and check the glideboard rolls smoothly. Weekly, inspect cables and wipe the rails with a non-corrosive cleaner. Monthly, lift off the glideboard to clean and inspect the wheels. Never put lubricant or silicone on the rails or wheels.

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.
