I made the mistake of ordering the basic p90x3 to try out and save money; Now, need the rest of the gadgets and retail will cost me much more. Any guide as far as substitution for the bands and door handle?

Retail *from beachbody.com* will cost you much more. Retail from other suppliers, not so much. I bought the Ultimate kit, and after I'd been doing it for a while I analyzed my use and decided that I would have been better off with the basic kit and buying the rest as needed from the local sports store. Here's a blog entry I wrote comparing the sets: http://jordanbrown.net/wp/blog/2014/03/15/p90x3-day-59-complex-upper-packages/

You should be able to get a user manual from their website. If you can't find one there, check with a local Golds Gym.

The Thane website has a lot of the extras. Last time I was there, they had replacement bands.

I used to be that heavy as well and can relate to questioning if this product can support you. I can tell you that you shouldn't have a problem as long as you follow the p90x routine. In the routine, Tony will suggest using a chair or bucket to support the weight if your having difficulty. You could used that method to lower the load on the pull up bar. Also, try to use metal anchor screws.

Hi April, I think they are different. I have tried P90x and I didn't care for it. I had the bands to work with however were other equipment I didn't have that really made it hard to do the whole DVD. I wouldn't say one is better than the other I would just say which one is right for you. I really need to build up my cardio and that is what Insanity is doing for me. I also feel like insanity goes faster. I am already tired after the warm up but the DVD seems to go by faster. With P90X it seemed to drag but that could just be me. I haven't done P90x in almost 2 years.

I actually never received my Gold's gym due to a freight shipping screw up. I got frustrated after a while and decided to purchase a Boflex from Sears. Sorry I couldn't help you.

you can buy them directly from the company and there are also aftermarket weights that fit. i would try the existing stack before ordering more, though, because of the position the exercize starts in with this machine. you start with your hands back by your shoulders, where you are weakest, unlike with freeweights where your arms are extended at your strongest. it makes a big difference. if you can bench this stack on this machine, you can bench probably well over 300 on an olympic bench.

I have 2 different bars (perfect pull up and the P90x pull up bar) and it fits both. I'm betting the size is pretty standard.

I'm not exactly sure, but I can tell you that I have a different pull up bar - not a P90X one and it works great.

Honestly I didn't like the commercial bench I found on Amazon. I went to eBay and found a used flat/incline bench by cybex. Pretty stout bench. Then I found a nice used decline bench by precor on a fitness website that sells equipment from gyms that discard old equipment. Also in nice condition. Both worth great for what I need. This squat rack is ok and works. But if I had to do it all over again I would look for a small used one from a gym that is selling off its professional equipment. My two cents

No, but u can download the app & they have workouts on there. Of course it's not for 3 only P90X 1&2. And it is an extra $6.99.

I think you should get the "platinum" model, not the cheaper original one or your feet won't clear the base properly. That is your main worry, so order from reputable source. Parts missing is likely to be a rarity, the other problem of the feet is a certainty. The machine will work the biceps and upper back muscles used to pull arms downward and backward quite well. It won't work triceps.

I contacted Iron Gym Customer Support via their 800 number. They said that they don't sell the foam grips. They offerred to sell me the entire bar for $9.99 plus $14.99 shipping. I did find some grips online at http://cart.easyeffort.com/index.php?main_page=index

Hey there C.A. I actually got the base kit and upgraded to the Master Kit. The base kit is missing 1) Rumble Roller, 2) Qi Gong DVD, 3) Travel & Sport DVD, 4) Master Class DVD, 5) Weighted Gloves, 6), Red (heavier) thigh band, 7) Master Class Calendar. The difference between the 2 systems is Night & Day. I just don't think a person can do this program without the Rumble Roller. You need the Foam roller for the areas which are very painful and stiff. You need the rumble roller for areas which are stiff and require deeper work to loosen up. It's like magic when you transition an area which was very painful to start from the Foam Roller to the Rumble Roller. You really feel like you've made progress. By the end, virtually every part of your body will use the Rumble Roller ... and NO you don't believe that's possible when you start! The Qi Gong class REALLY helps you to focus your mind and relax. I always did it on "Day 7" of the workout week; the day you're supposed to take off. The Master Class DVD puts the system together making the final week by FAR easier to follow and adds a couple tips and tricks. I will say that the weighted gloves and Travel & Sport DVD didn't seem to add much to the program. The bands, yellow or red, tend to shoot down your legs. I found myself worrying about keeping them on more than feeling the tension they were supposed to add. However, I could see how ALL of these tools would be very valuable for the right person. I'm a bit younger and more fit so perhaps the slight changes in resistance didn't affect me like they would other people. Overall, I would DEFINITELY go for the Master Class. It's no more or less difficult than the Basic; it's just a more complete program.

hi,I have the 1500 also, much to my dismay. I just purchased it from JC penney and didn't realize it was outdated. Anyway you can find replacement parts at www.huckproducts.com they aren't made by total gym, but are made for the 1500. They also have parts for the 2000/3000 models.
