Total Gym17500 Open Ended Durable Chrome Handles for Increased Grip with Total Gym Home Workout Machines, Black

Very handy,good grip

If youre in the market for these, you've no doubt come to the conclusion that the handles that come with most Total Gyms are Total Garbage. These replacements are pricey, but theyre super thick, and dont flex under load, as do some I've bought in the past. The unexpected part is the black plastic handles themselves. -They're attached to the metal support with high-grade roller bearings, which makes the workout action very fluid. Whereas the handles that came on my Apex G5 would bind, twist and rub against my arms under load, these are silky smooth, even while supporting a fair amount of weight (Im about 290 pounds, typically add 20 to 40 pounds of extra weight, and perform some exercises with the incline at the highest angle). These dont flex or bend, and the rolling action under heavy load still seems great. These have tremendously improved the quality of my workouts and have allowed me to attempt exercises that I never would have in the past. If youre still on the fence about these, dont be. You really wont regret it!

Purchased these for my total gym.Comfortable grip that swivels on the handle for less stress on the wrist and more realistic lifting experience.. Easy to use. These are the handles that should come with every total gym!! Glad I could find them on Amazon.You could probably find them cheaper but I didn’t want to wait 3-7 days to get them and after taxes and shipping charges these may have been a couple dollars more. I pretty much received these the next day and couldn’t be more happy with them!

Handles are amazing

I purchased these chrome handles to be used on my Weider Ultimate Bodyworks (they are both compatible). I was concerned that these handles would be thin and weak but they are very thick and strong. The handles have improved my exercises in several ways, they feel heavily sturdy during use, they have given my hands stability, my exercises are now more evenly balanced and better executed. I am also free of the annoying squeaking and grinding noises that the original plastic/fabric handles made, the chrome handles have been relatively quiet. These chrome handles are fantastic!
