IRONMAN Inversion Table

Having borrowed a Teeter Hang-ups model 9500, I was a bit skeptical about a table that was so much less expensive. In the end, it turned out to be an excellent value. Although the table does not pivot as freely as the Teeter, the handles provide an easy way to return to the upright position. The ankle clamps are MUCH more comfortable than those on the Teeter. This was my biggest concern in a low-priced table. Not only are they more comfortable, they are much easier to clamp and release. On the assembly side, I had the "help" of my 13-yr-old and it went together pretty easily. The only problem we had was with the spring-loaded tube for the ankle clamps. The photos were not specific on the orientation of the cut-outs in the tube and with a 50:50 chance, we got it backwards. Had we noticed the error BEFORE we cut the string that allow access to the spring, it would have saved about 45 minutes of aggravation trying to reattach something to the spring so we could reverse and correct the assembly process. Again, this was our error but be careful to check the operation of the ankle clamp spring and locking mechanism before cutting the tether. The only disappointment that would keep me from rating this a "5" is the inversion locking mechanism. Although it may not be like this on all (could be a mfg defect) the latch is VERY hard to engage in the "LOCK" position. You have to hit the lever pretty hard with the palm of your hand to engage the lock. On the flip side, it is relatively easy to return to the "FREE" position, so you are unlikely to get stuck inverted. I took apart the mechanism for the lock and the spring loaded ball that latches into a hole in the lever is set too high. Without significant disassembly there was no way to adjust this setting, so I'll just keep hitting it when I want to lock into position in the hopes it will loosen over time. All in all, an excellent table for less than half the price of a Teeter that does not offer the locking mechanism.

I think it is as good as a teeter inversion table but half the price. I love the locking feature, just wish it had a few more settings. My optimum setting is in between. Pillow a bit uncomfortable on shoulder blades. I will adjust the height and see it that makes a difference. I can tell you it has helped my L4 and L5 degenerated discs in the last 4 days. One of the end caps was broken. I am calling customer service and we will see how them do. All in all I love my table!

The IronMan ATIS 100 is very sturdy build inversion table. Works very well. Takes about an hour to assemble. Still working on adjustment on my ankles, some discomfort on dorsum of feet. It is heavy to move around and fold up, especially if you are having some back discomfort, perhaps a caution should state this in paperwork.

It took about an hour to put it together and once assembled I found it to be very solid. However my issue with this is the chemical fumes from the fabric on the board is unacceptable. It's sitting in the garage to air out. It smelled up my whole house.

I have had my Ironman table for about 3 weeks now and my back hasn't felt this good in years. I could tell a difference by the third time i got on the table, I could actually get out of bed without have to sit on the edge of the bed for a few seconds to let my back relax enough to stand. As for the table itself, very well built and sturdy. Instructions could be designed a little better but common sense puts this thing together. I have been recommending this to anyone I know who has back issues.
