I spent alot of time researching & reading reviews on different types of Inversion Tables, including the "Teeter". For the money I saved and the quality of the product, I can't say enough positive things about the Body Power AB & Back machine! It does exactly what it says it will do. The stretch relieves all that compression, and I use it faithfully every day for 10 minutes. My husband was very impressed by the workmanship that went into the product, and the easy of assembly. I have chronic lower back pain, and I love to walk every day, but my back just ain't what it used to be, so as soon as I make it back in from my 2-1/2 mile hike, I head right for the Inversion Table. It is relaxing and gives me total and immediate relief. I am amazed! I weigh 160 lbs., and my ankles are quite comfortable in the cushioned restraints. The Table itself gives support & comfort, as well. It's so easy to manuever, and just as easy to fold in half for compact wall storage.
I have not used the AB's part as much, because I am focusing on my lower back and don't want to put any strain on my back, than is necessary right now. But I will say that I love it so much, I told my Daughter about it, because she is suffering from a ruptured disc, and her Worker's Comp. Doctor was very enthusiatic about her use of this machine, so I ordered her one as well. She is very glad I did!

The machine comes in quite a few pieces that have to be put together. I found it simple but the instructions to put it together are a bit confusing. It makes it look alot more complicated than it is. The instructions for using the machine is not helpful at all. I was trying to figure a way to send it back until I did my own "thing" with it. If you use the back machine, then set the height adjustment 4" taller than you are. I'm 5'6 so I set it at 5'10. When I use the Ab part, I set it 4" inches shorter than my height. (5'2"). I think that the height adjustment is based more upon your arm lenght than your height when it comes to the Ab cruncher. After all, you want to feel comfortable when you Ab it. I'm only able to use it for about a minute at a time right now so I have it parked in front of my TV so that I use often during the day. I really feel it hitting my Abs and thighs when I used it. I haven't used the back part much yet because my big butt makes it feel uncomfortable right now when I suspend backwards. The weight max is 250 lbs. It says not to use it if you exceded that weight. It doesn't fold up. So far after a few days of having it, it seems to do alright. I guess I'll see in the long run. When I get my big butt down, I'm anxious to find out how the back part works for me.

It works just like the video showed and it fits in a small room and still I can use it. It helps your body get back into a lineament and its fun.

I have just received and assembled my Body Power ABI1600 Abs/inversion table pruchased from your site. I don 't think I have ever purchased anything that had better quality material and workmanship before. Not to mention the ease of assembly. Needless to say, I am pleased as PUNCH!!!!!

amzing unit.does twice as much (abs) as any other in this prize range. hanging for 10 minutes and all my backpain is gone all day long...finally after trying medications, exercising,yoga, heat, massage, zapping,.....this actually works

Just would like to let everyone know that the body power ABI1600 is great. It has helped my back & also lets me work my Abs without having to get off and change anything. It puts my body in a total relaxed state of mind. My son has used it also and has had great back relief. I recommend this product to anyone & everyone even if you do not have any back problems just because when you lay on it you feel so relaxed.

very sturdy, love the dual funtion but was very unhappy about receiving a black and white back pad instead of what the picture showed(an all black pad).when you care what your home looks like things like color matter!

This unit was easy to assemble, works like it is supposed to. The only problem is when I assembled it and used it for a couple of days a "friend" borrowed it and like the one before it I fear I shall never see it again. Great bang for the buck just dont loan it out. :)

CAME WITH A MISSING PIECE FOR PUTTING IT TOGETHER.I HAD TO CALL THE COMPANY THAT MADE IT,TO ASK THEM TO SEND IT. THEY WERE REAL GOOD TO TALK TO. SO NOW WE`LL SEE IF I GET IT, SO WE CAN FINISH PUTTING IT TOGETHER. IT DIDN`T HAVE VERY GOOD INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO USE IT!

This was actually as good as it was described to be. That is very rare. I thought I was going to have some random complaint, but the ab aspect really does work your abs out and that is primarily what I got it for. The inversion part is for my boyfriend. He seems to like that. So... The only issue was that it took a while to put together, but I expected that. It really wasn't too hard, just time consuming. And you need a wrench and pliers. At least I did. Hope you enjoy.
