The History of Total Gym

During his long and distinguished career in whole health, it’s impossible to put a number on the people who have looked to Paul as a mentor and guiding light in their lives.

So, when Paul has a challenge of his own, who does he turn to for advice? Meet Total Gym’s Tom Campanaro who has counseled Paul for more than 30 years on issues big and small.

Tom looks back at nearly a half-century in the worlds of bodybuilding, exercise and rehab in this career-spanning Living 4D conversation.

For Living 4D listeners: Tom is offering 15 percent off any Total Gym purchase. Use the promo code Chek2021 on their website at checkout.
