[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-02-03 Summary: Feels Great & Built Strong ... I was not sure about ordering this on line, I was concerned that the bed would be built cheap and have a wobble to it.

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-12 Summary: Back Relief ... Well-built. It took some time to put together, but the instructions are clear. I took the pad off as it didn't hit my neck at the right place, but it isn't necessary anyway. I weigh 200 pounds and feel very safe doing crunches while hanging upside down. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-18 Summary: Comments ... When you are strapped into the Ironman, its holds you very securely, and you don't feel as though you'll fall out of it. The base is also very well made and very sturdy. Only negative thing we'd have to say is that it does not have a 'stop' to hold the table in place as you get into it. We were very happy that it did not require a ceiling more than 7ft high, as we wanted to use this in our basement. There are 3 people using here, and the adjustment for our different heights is easy to use. We are very happy with the ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-09-29 Summary: Works as advertised ... Nice sturdy unit which is reflected in the price. Took less than 30 minutes to assemble and used it right away. Gives a good stretch for the back and feels great after sitting all day in front of my work computer. Will try to incorporate the exercises and full inversion in time as I get used to being upside down. I find it best to do things gradually so it doesn't feel like blood is rushing to my head or getting light-headed when turning upright. I got the boots but haven't used them yet as I feel comfortable with ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-05-26 Summary: Teeter Inversion Table ... This is an excellent product, well built, solid construction. Assembly is easy as long as you do two things. First, read all the directions first, hey, I'm a man what can I say; and two, make sure the box is right side up when you open it. I had it upside down and it was a little confusing until I figured that out. The product goes together really easy once you have every thing in order. ...more
