Whether you want to reduce back stress or fatigue or stimulate your blood circulation, the Ironman Gravity 1000 inversion table makes a great household accessory. The inversion table contributes to your body's overall health by optimizing lumbar traction, thereby relieving pressure on your vertebrae discs and ligaments. And when your back starts to relax, the rest of your body follows. The table can also help with such areas as increasing body flexibility for improved athletic performance, reducing the effects of aging due to gravity, and relieving lower backaches due to sitting or standing.

The Gravity 1000 boasts a durable tubular steel frame with a scratch-resistant powder-coated finish. The backrest, meanwhile, is made of a tough nylon material that's extremely durable yet still comfortable when the table is in use. Most importantly, the inversion system is a breeze to use: once you rest your body against the nylon backrest and slip your feet into the ergonomically molded ankle cushions, simply reach your arms over your head. As your arms go up, your body gradually inverts up to 90 degrees. The only inputs are your energy and gravity itself.

Users will also appreciate the tough rubber non-skid floor stabilizers, which keep the table stable while you invert, and the extra-long safety handles, which provide an easy return to an upright position. Other details include a height-adjustable frame up to 6 feet 6 inches; support for up to 300 pounds; vinyl safety side covers to protect hands and fingers; and a durable spring-loaded ankle locking system. The Gravity 1000, which folds into a compact footprint for easy storage, measures 25 by 62 by 49 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 46 pounds.

Great For The Money,

Mine came with directions and was easy to assemble. The directions were fairly clear. I really like the finish on the unit more than a plain chrome one. I was surprised it came with all the tools required for assembly.

Still getting used to inverting, but adjustments are simple and fast. Seems to be just as nice as some more expensive models. The only negative is you have to break down the unit some for storage.


Best Inverter Table for the Money,

Having purchase both the Teeter Hangup (one of the most popular inverters) and this Ironman, I will try to make a comparison.

I purchased the Teeter Hangup table for my personal use. Very satisfied except that the leg clamps at the bottom are not nearly as comfortable as the Ironman. I am 6'4" and weigh 220, so that may be an issue. My wife does not have any discomfort at all.

My daughter and her husband really liked the benefits of inversion after using our Teeter (they find no discomfort either). But because of the leg clamp issue I researched other alternatives.

As a result we purchased this Ironman for them as a gift and it is a LOT more comfortable for me at the ankles and feet than the Teeter type leg clamps. Otherwise, the construction is equivalent in quality.

Other differences to consider:

Teeter allows the table to move further from your back when fully inverted. This allows more freedom to do more exercises without bumping the back.

Another thing you may want to consider is the ease of folding and moving to another place or for storage. The Teeter is easier, as the Ironman requires a wrench; the teeter does not.

The last difference to consider is that the foot rest on the Teeter is easier to adjust, an issue if more than one person uses it and they are significantly different in height and/or weight. The Ironman requires a wrench, the Teeter does not. It is more an issue for the Teeter because the leg clamps are not as comfortable as the Ironman, as I stated earlier, and both need to be adjusted for a proper and comfortable fit.

All in all, if I would have to do it again, I would buy the Ironman for myself. It was about $180 cheaper at the time. You could buy two Ironman Inverters for the price of a Teeter! The slight inconveniences of the Ironman over the Teeter would not warrant this price difference to me, because the leg clamps of the Ironman are significantly more comfortable.

As for the health benefits here, I do not think they are overstated. After a long day on my feet, or just exercising, it literally makes me feel like new. I feel "decompressed," and have more bounce in my joints. I feel more flexible. It allows me to recover from an activity faster.

My daughter, who trains for marathons, says that after a long training run, she feels so much better after inverting, recovers faster, and does not have any back or joint issues like she did before. She just ran the Pittsburgh Marathon, and the first thing she did when she got home was to "hang." She claims immediate relief and faster recovery time.

So no matter which inverter you get, it is an easy way (5-10 min) to feel sooooo much better. I can't recommend this activity more highly.

I am a 44 year old male with scoliosis and my lower back had been causing me so much pain that I couldn't complete simple tasks in my daily life. Walking the dogs caused me tremendous pain. I went to a Chiropractor to inquire about decompression therapy. He told me that the treatment would take my pain level from a 7 to around a 2 or 3. I would have been willing to give it a try but the cost for the treatment was $4200.00 after my insurance paid their portion. I just couldn't afford that at the time and decided to give this a try. I read every review about this machine and several others and decided that this was the one I'd go with. I have used it for a few weeks and I have already experienced a great deal of relief. I use the table at different levels of incline to target different areas of my back and it seems to be working. I do crunches while I'm inclined to strengthen my back muscles which may also be helping. I still have some pain and soreness but nothing like I was experiencing before I started using the table. It's not often that you buy a product that exceeds your expectations; this one did.
