I'm assuming that a "total gym" is a devise for home use, which I have not used. However, I work out at a regular gym six days per week, including free weights, weight machines, and treadmill, with no problems. I have an ileostomy.

I use a rower (msg resistance) but same motion, bow flex stepper, and a universal gym (inspire ft1).
I don't have any issues as far as using equipment with urostomy. Im trying to follow the workouts by athleanX. Im just over a year with a urostomy and I really need to get in shape.
