Description

Total Gym RS Encompass

The RS Encompass allows clinicians to build injury-specific treatment protocols and training modalities that can accelerate successful patient outcomes for a variety of demands. The RS Encompass™ recreates and strengthens the way the body executes daily physical activities and stores those functions in the muscle memory. This allows the patient to recover more productively and more functionally using their own bodyweight as resistance, fine-tuning the increment levels to pin point exact increases or decreases in bodyweight percentage use.

The result is full body conditioning through the fitness continuum from early post-injury to high performance training.

Also comes standard with the Closed Chain Platform, BAPS Adapter, Retractable Dip Bars, Squat Handle Bar and Slide Distance Regulator.

FAQs
Frequently asked question

Is the Total Gym RS Encompass worth the investment for a clinical setting?

Yes, the RS Encompass is designed specifically for clinical and rehabilitation environments. It allows practitioners to build customized, injury-specific protocols using bodyweight resistance, making it a versatile and cost-effective tool. Its ability to support a wide range of patients and treatment modalities means it can serve multiple purposes in one unit, delivering strong long-term value for physical therapy clinics and rehabilitation centers.

Where can I buy the Total Gym RS Encompass and are there warranty options available?

The Total Gym RS Encompass is available through authorized Total Gym dealers and directly from the Total Gym website. Warranty coverage is typically included with purchase, covering the frame and components. We recommend contacting Total Gym or an authorized reseller directly to confirm current warranty terms, financing options, and availability, as details may vary based on your location and purchase channel.

What makes the Total Gym RS Encompass different from standard weight machines?

Unlike traditional weight machines that isolate muscles, the RS Encompass uses bodyweight as resistance on an incline glideboard. This promotes functional, full-body movement patterns that mimic real-life activities. It also allows clinicians to fine-tune resistance levels incrementally, making it ideal for rehabilitation where precise load management and movement quality are critical to patient recovery.

Who is the Total Gym RS Encompass designed for?

The RS Encompass is designed primarily for clinicians, physical therapists, and rehabilitation specialists. It supports patients recovering from injuries by recreating functional movement patterns and building muscle memory. It is suitable for a wide range of patients regardless of fitness level, as resistance is adjusted using bodyweight and incline settings rather than traditional weighted plates.

What types of exercises and treatment protocols can be performed on the RS Encompass?

The RS Encompass supports hundreds of exercises including strength training, flexibility work, balance, and functional movement patterns. Clinicians can develop injury-specific protocols targeting the upper body, lower body, and core. Its versatility makes it effective for post-surgical recovery, orthopedic rehabilitation, sports performance training, and general functional fitness programming within a clinical environment.

How does bodyweight resistance work on the Total Gym RS Encompass?

The RS Encompass uses an adjustable incline glideboard system. As the incline increases, a greater percentage of the user's bodyweight is used as resistance. Lower incline levels provide lighter resistance, making it accessible for early-stage rehabilitation. This approach allows clinicians to progressively increase load in a controlled and safe manner, supporting gradual strength building without the risks associated with external free weights.
