Advantages: Lots of exercises, easy to switch between exercises, more portable than a multigym, excellent value for money. Disadvantages: Not enough resistance, unable to allow for proper form on some exercises
...I have a Total Gym, which I bought when work pressures prevented from going to the gym. For many exercises it's a fantastic alternative and it lets you do so much on what is effectively a small machine. A lot people call these kind of machines gimmicks but I very doubt many of them have actually used one. I'd been used to free weights and found the Total Gym a good replacement. The main problems I had with it were the angle of resistance and amount of resistance. For example, if I'm doing a chest press, the resistance is actually coming from waist level and it doesn't feel right.

A great many London buses cover this area. Many drop off / pick up at the Savacentre stops, during hypermarket opening hours, and others serve Perry Hill which is about a 10 minute walk maximum. The route to Perry Hill is a busy, well lit road and I often think it's better to head that way at night if the alternative is a half hour wait at the station.
