Tom Campanaro became a self-taught student of exercise equipment and methods, tinkering in his garage to find or make various objects with which to weight train.

Tom founded the Total Gym® Company with business partners Dale McMurray and Doug Marino in 1974, with Larry Westfall joining the team within the year. They developed the Total Gym incline bodyweight trainer, a high-quality version of a machine that encouraged the use of multiple muscle groups together in each exercise—now referred to as “functional training."

Today, Total Gym is the longest running broadcast infomercial in history, with over 4 million users and a billion dollars’ worth of Total Gyms sold through the infomercial and in retail stores in over 85 countries.

In 2003, the company launched the GRAVITYSystem®, a versatile and turnkey fitness program. Now with operations in 23 countries, Total Gym continues to lead the industry with innovative functional and bodyweight training products, in addition to its award-winning GRAVITY fitness program offered worldwide.
