I read in one of the reviews that this does NOT come with the ab straps. You can buy them in a store for around ten dollars and not pay shipping.

NOPE! I got a form saying I could order them for "FREE," but in reality, they charge you $7.99 S&H; for them.

There is a strap on the device that you adjust to either help you more or less with pull-ups. I think the more resistance the more body weight it's deducting so its easier. Your foot won't hit the floor if you do it correctly. I would not try with your knee. The instructions say to not have the loop more than 3 feet from the ground so you would not be able to reach the bar with your knee in the loop (unless you're tall I guess).This product is awesome. I tried the workouts using the chair method but I felt like I was not getting anything out of that. I went from doing no pull-ups on my own to doing 4 so far & them I use the band to do more.

If you haven't purchased this yet, it is August but, no it doesn't come with a strap. I have yet to find one to fit, but it just arrived yesterday. Strap or no, I wouldn't trade it for anything. I needed a thick mat for my daughter.

Let me help you with this question and maybe save you some money. If you buy it from Amazon, you will get ripped off for 26 bucks. If you get it from their web site, you will get ripped of for about 38.95. Both ways, you loose. The reviews do not lie. I sould not say that Amazon is removing this item from their site. I guess I can't confirm that. I do hope they do.

Actually i do not remember the extra straps. the first x i used it i pulled the big toe much too far and hurt my foot. when i get back from this trip i will try again. have tried TONS of these things and this was the easiest one i found. and it certainly works. will work better when i GRADUALLY increase the pressure. sarahleah

Doesnt come with strap . I have a bad back and rarely use a strap . It is long enough and balanced well enough not an issue . I usually take frequent breaks due to my back . Usually 30 mins weeding at a time

Yes, & No!!! When I opened my package I just got the pack and nothing else... So, I called them and they said to me that I miss understood that it was just the pack and no shoulders straps or kidney belt but, thay end up mailing me the frame/straps/pads after I complained!!!

Sure, DD and I did this for a loooong time. Nice when you are outside, no one really notices. So, to do this, loosen up both shoulder/arm straps to the max, that way you can carry your babe lower (boob height). Then loosen a little the back strap, just to give you two some room to wiggle.Gosh I miss my ergo, I gave away to a dear friend in another country because those are not available there. I bought another one recently (for my spanking brand new son) and I got a fake from Amazon... That suck, but customer service was awesome and refunded me. Now on my way to my local store.Good luck!

Mine came with the cover & straps, you couldn't use it without them. the straps are cheap looking but keep the cushion in place..

I received the Total Gym XLS from Amazon a few weeks ago, on December 18, 2012, and, as far as I can tell, it is exactly the same piece of equipment that you would get buying directly from TotalGymDirect.com. It even came with the latest DVDs. In fact, the box Amazon sent my Total Gym XLS in had actually been sent to Amazon from Total Gym; it still had the shipping sticker on it. The only difference I can see between buying from Amazon or TotalGym Direct is Amazon has free shipping and you get it faster, but TotalGymDirect may offer you extra equipment, like the AB Crunch, for almost the same price. I think it is win win either way.

Yep, that's the whole thing.I've actually ordered two kits at different times. One for me and one for a friend (at a later date). One came with just the videos and the other came with the videos and the plastic push up bars. The push up supports were not comfortable so I never used them. But overall, I still think the videos are a great value and a wonderful supplement to my martial arts training.Some additional exercises with some weights and you really do have a great work out. I also like the home videos by Zuzka Light. Take a look. She's in great shape.

Just so I have this straight.......I am ok and understand with ordering "one", get "two" straps in the packaging. If the selection to order "two" is chosen, then does a person get FOUR total straps, in either a single package or "two" packs of "two"?

Hello Rose-Ah...now I know what happened! I received the set and I noticed that on the included workout chart there were instructions on how to use the "anywhere anchor." At that point I realized that I did not receive the "anywhere anchor." So I contacted the company and they sent me one! Now I kinda feel bad as I realize-- just now, after reading your question, that it is indeed NOT shown in the photo. Ooops. So, I guess, technically, it is not included.

Yes mine did come with the frame, main pack, shoulder straps, hip belt and 2 side packs as pictured. It has held up well the few times I have used it, but I am not sure how long some of the stitching will hold up to extended/heavy use. The description said used but mine came brand new with everything still wrapped in plastic. It can be difficult to put together the first time so you may want to watch a few youtube videos if you have not put one of these together before. Otherwise it is an awesome pack with an enormous amount of room for anything you could want to put in it, including the kitchen sink.

Wow, i didn't even notice that when i bought mine. In the mail i recieved the one show in the stand alone picture, not the one used by the lady. It is freaking awesome, the only way they could improve this product is if you didn't have to do it yourself (in some positions your muscles tighten while trying to apply the pressure), so hopefully you have a loving friend who will work it into those areas for you :)

Is it the one you slide in? All the ones on google images are like that, and you'll lose the benefit of having double straps because all the ones in images are single. Or post a pic and see
