The Power Gym is basically a large padded board that glides along a track. It can be adjusted to different heights for different exercises and to make moves more challenging. Padded foot straps are connected to one end of the board with cables, allowing the person using the machine to work through a wide variety of exercises holding the straps with the hands or feet.

There's also a head rest that folds out of the way when you aren't using it. This makes it possible to lie down on the board comfortably and work the cables with your hands, moving your body up and down on the machine. An optional push-up bar is also available, which can be attached to the opposite end of the machine. It also has wheels mounted on the frame to make it easy to move around. When assembled, the machine is 56 inches long, 17.75 inches wide and 13 inches tall. It weighs 61 pounds, but the wheels make it relatively easy to move it around if you need to store it somewhere out of the way and only have it pulled out when you are using it.
