This is a very heavy duty, solid piece of equipment. I have no complaints about how it works. It works fabulously, in fact. But here are some things you should be aware of before you buy...

One, it takes up quite a bit of space. Not only from the frame itself, but also the amount of room that is necessary to invert goes beyond the "footprint" of the frame. So it's not something you can just tuck in a corner someplace; it takes some room to operate.

Two, it's very heavy. Note the shipping weight is over 80 pounds. Removing the table from the frame is ackward and difficult to say the least. You could easily strain your back removing it, which kind of goes contrary to the benefits of the machine. So don't think you're just going to remove the table, fold the frame and store this under the bed easily. I mean, it can be done. But by the time you do all that, you will be exhausted and may have a strained back. So plan to have this thing set up and ready to go full-time because it's just WAY too much trouble to break down for storage.

Again, please understand that I very much like this machine, thus the five star rating. But these are just things that might not be readily apparent to someone shopping online and I just wanted to make sure you understand what you're getting. If you don't have the room to leave this thing set up all the time, it may not be what you're looking for.

Unfortunately, I spent too much money at the chiropractor's office trying to rid myself of lower back pain, but fortunately I found Life Gear's Deluxe Inversion Table. I use my inversion table twice a day, in the morning and in the evening, and after these decompressions sessions, my lower back feels much better. I chose the Deluxe model due to my weight being 220 lbs., and I wanted a well made product. I like the firm back rest part of my table, more so than the nylon/canvas backrest of lesser expensive models. I'm 50 plus years old, and have had lower back pain for some type now, but am feeling much better now thanks to Life Gear's inversion table.

I'm 53 and weight 255. You can take my word for it...this table is S-T-A-B-L-E!! Excellent product. I put it together in less than 20 minutes using the 2 tools provided. I've been cautious, using it for only 1 week, 1 time a day for 10 minutes and my back is feeling 75% better already. I can actually bend over and put on my shoes!. That's after hurting for over a month! The first time I used it, my back popped and cracked, but felt GREAT during and after the inversion. I've only inverted to about 35 degrees. I'll be using this thing for a long, long time!!

I have always struggled with a sore lower back. In an effort to try to get relief, I have tried pills, stretching, physical therapy, etc. All work to some extent, but each has it drawbacks.

Yesterday, I got this table and tried it out. I was surprised that after my first "inversion" of only about a minute (the directions say to only go for 15-20 seconds the first time, but what can I say, I'm a rebel :)). Today I used it again for about a minute, and my back really does feel better.

In addition to back pain relief, it is also a lot of fun. It is by far the easiest possible way to get the feeling of doing a headstand.

Set-up was fairly simple using the tools provided. It took a friend and I 10 minutes, but I bet some people could do it in less.

My wife has problems with her back and after much review and research on different inversion tables, we decided on the Life Gear HD table. The ordering process from Amazon was simple and quick. The table arrived within 6 days. After opening the box, I read the instructions (clear and consise) and had the table up for use within 30 minutes. This is definitely a quality, heavy duty, built-to-last table.

I would definitely recommend this table for anyone who has back problems. The best part, however, was the value pricing for this product from Amazon. The free shipping made this a great buy!

You can order this product with the confidence and knowledge that you will be very pleased and satisfied with it.

I have had back problems for years. A couple of minutes several times a day makes me feel great. I feel better and have less chronic back problems. This is a heavy duty table that is very easy to put together and folds for storage. You will be glad you have one.

This is definitely one of the best purchases i've ever made. Not only did amazon get me a good deal on the equipment but, the machine does what it advertises it will do. I'm 6'3" tall and weigh in at 350lbs, I'm a big boy. But this machine handles me know problem. After inverting the very first time I saw positive results in my health. After inverting for two weeks using the Lifegear Heavy duty inversion table I can tell you that I can walk without pain for twice the distance that I could travel before. I am not in constant pain all the time anymore and if it arises I go invert for a while and it subsides. Thanks Amazon for making this affordable to me because i'm on a fixed income and was getting no help with my back injury until I was able to afford this. Thanks again.

This is a solid piece of equipment, and using it for a few minutes daily does seem to help with back and shoulder pain -- not to mention, clears out your sinuses. The table has to be assembled, but the process is not too difficult. The tools you need are provided (maybe I had to supply my own flathead screwdriver, can't recall); it took me about an hour and a half to complete the job, and I mostly just followed the pictures. Everything about the table is sturdy, and the inversion mechanism works smoothly, so you feel safe not only hanging upside down like a bat, but also getting into and out of position (unlike with gravity boots and an inversion bar, which are kind of scary). The ankle cuffs are well padded, but the pressure on the tops of the feet (which take all your weight while you are suspended) tends to get to me -- wearing athletic shoes with heavy sox helps. I can do only a few minutes at a time, but am working up to longer. One caveat about having this table in your home: it needs space. You can fold it a bit to reduce its footprint, but it will still need room to swing while you are in it. Nevertheless, I love my table, feel better for using it, and am content to give it all the space it requires.

Great machine with easy assembly. I would'nt suggest using the super saver shipping though. My first one came damaged and they only deliver from 9-5 weekdays. My second one was ok but the box took a lot of beating. After a week of use I have found I get better results using the machine on my belly instead of on my back. Good sturdy machine if you have the space for it.

This is a very solid, comfortable piece of equipment. I am very impressed. I am 6'7" and this table fits to 6'9". The only thing I do not like is the ankle braces are non-adjustable height wise (they swing out for access) so if you have large feet they are difficult to slide in easily. I like the padded back and the price is outstanding for such a durable strong table. I have only owned for a week and already notice improvement in back pains and general flexibility.
