I have just received my second Ironman Gravity 2000 Inversion table. It had a broken piece on it just like the first one I ordered.
It looks like it would be a good machine if it would arrive intact. I have no inclination (pardon the pun) to try again. Someone else gets my business now. |
Helped my back pain

| This unit was a great find for the money. It handles my size easily, I am 6'4" and 297lbs. I have been having issues with 3 discs in my lower back that are damaged and now in advanced stages of deterioration. It took some getting used to, but I spend 10 minute 3 times a day in this thing and it has helped me out considerably. I was having many problems with not being able to stand fully upright and having issues with transient shifts in my spinal alignment. I believe that using this inversion table, along with walking daily and taking care not to sit for too long without stretching, has reduced my pain a great deal. It took a little while to work my way up to a full 10 minutes straight up and down (how I get the best stretch). But little by little I got used to it and now I am quite comfortable upside down. My ankles get a touch sore, but I think getting rid of the extra weight I am carrying will eliminate that as well as just getting used to it in general. Wish I had found this sooner. |
GREAT PRODUCT!!

| This invert table was more than I expected. It is heavy duty, easy to put together and is well constructed for my frame of 6ft 2in. I tried it as soon as I got it together and after 10 min I could feel a difference in my back. Yea, it really stretches your lower back muscles and the first night I slept better than I had in years. No joke, this thing took my back problems and turned it around in a matter of two days. GOODBYE CHIROPRACTOR.... My neighbor came over and tried it and after only three minutes his hip pain quit and he ordered one too. If you are brave enough to totally invert 90 degrees for 10 min each session(1 when you get up and 1 at night before bed) I can assure you that this will pretty much cure your back, sciatic nerve and muscle pain within days. |
Great Product!

| After having searched around for a while I finally decided on the Ironman Gravity 2000. I was a little surprised when the box arrived because it was rather heavy. I hadn't checked the weight of the item, but it weighs 55 pounds. It took about an hour to assemble. Unlike other reviewers I had no problem putting it together, and I wonder if they may have improved the directions, because I did not find it hard to assemble. I was blown away at the quality of the table. It is solid as a rock and functions really well. One tip for anyone buying this: assemble it in the room you want to use it in. I set it up in my front room and had to take out a screw or two to break it down enough to move it into my bedroom. I struggled moving the thing around without marking up my walls. The only other thing I would mention is that it takes up a lot of room in one of my small bedrooms and my wife is not too happy about that. All-in-all I would highly recommend this unit to any one that wants to hang upside down. |
Solid and Sturdy

I searched and searched all the inversion tables offered by Amazon.com. After reading the product descriptions and reviews, I decided this would be perfect for my husband who suffers from chronic back pain. We own an automotive repair center and my husband is regularly lifting and moving large items. I decided this would make a great Father's Day present for him. I was a little concerned about the assembly of the unit, since so many reviews mentioned it took a long time. He had it up and ready to use in 20 minutes. One minute I was upstairs emptying the dishwasher, next thing I know he was hanging upside in the bedroom.
Everyday he gets on for two 5 minute sessions. First he just hangs there perfectly straight and then he twists at his waist changing from side to side. He swears up and down that he could tell a difference after the first use. Every morning he would ask me to give him a great big bear hug to crack the bones on his back, since using the Gravity 2000 there has been no more cracks.
The only negative thing is that he states the ankle molded cushions are very uncomfortable. He tried wearing boots and sneakers but that did not seem to help, instead he just gets on with socks on. Maybe he will get use to it in time or I might be able to find some kind of foam padding that might help. The unit sits securely in place. No wobbling or concerns that it might tip over.
Solid product at a great price. |
