Product Features
|
The Teeter Hang Ups F5000 rotates on a pivot system. With simple arm movements (rotation is accomplished by shifting the weight of the arms), the table easily rotates to any comfortable angle. The smooth rotation allows for oscillation and intermittent traction. Adjustable roller hinges allow you to pre-select three levels to control the aggressiveness of rotation, and the tether strap allows you to pre-select the maximum angle of inversion. Comfortable ankle clamps hold you securely while inverting. Additional support can be gained by use of the optional Teeter Hang Ups Gravity Boots.
It's able to lock at full 90 degrees inversion (this is only possible when using the more aggressive roller hinge setting). While at 90 degrees, you can perform inverted sit-ups and squats. The table is self-controlled and can be unlocked with simple arm movements.
Feature Detail:
The F5000 Inversion Table folds compactly for storage in a closet or in a corner. The nylon mat can be removed for washing. Every table comes with an instructional DVD and laminated owner's manual.

About Teeter Hang Ups
Roger and Jennifer Teeter founded Hang Ups Inversion Products in 1981 and have been dedicated to manufacturing quality inversion products ever since. Roger and Jenny truly believe in the benefits of this simple, natural form of therapy that has been around since 400 BC. In the late 1970s, Roger tried many forms of therapy to help manage his pain. He finally discovered that by inverting, he was able to relieve his back pain and begin the road to recovery. He credits inversion for keeping him pain free, healthy, and active. Inversion has changed Roger's life, and now he is dedicated to sharing his knowledge of inversion and quality products.

Long-term owner,

This review is from: Teeter Hang Ups F5000 Inversion Table (Sports)
I'm 42 and have had one of these for I'm guessing 12 years. Before that, I was using some inversion boots. I use this almost every evening. I got it because after heavy jet-ski riding in my 20's, I had some nerves pinched in my lower back. The doc wanted to put me on medication. The chiropracter wanted to crack my back 3 times $$$ per week. I tried my own solution - inversion. During all these years of inversion, I've never really felt a back or neck pain. Haven't had any side effects from its use. When someone new get on it, they usually don't like it. It takes your body a while to used used to being upside down. I like to invert before going out in the evening - perks you up taking a load off your spine. IMO, this is an under-recognized anti-aging device. This is a good model to buy - looks like it hasn't changed since I purchased mine a long time ago.

Beating back pain,

This review is from: Teeter Hang Ups F5000 Inversion Table (Sports)
I bought this table to relieve the pain from a pinched nerve in my neck. It worked so well, I loaded into my Honda when I visited my mom for a week. She tried it for relief of her sciatica. (She's 68 years young.) It worked so well, I left it behind for her to use and bought myself another one!
The quality is excellent. It's heavy enough to feel solid but still light enough that I can move it. It adjusts easily for multiple users. It takes up a lot of space but folds up small enough to go in a closet. It's GREAT!!

Not impressed,
By DD (Miami, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Teeter Hang Ups F5000 Inversion Table (Sports)
I recently purchased the F5000. The construction seems good and once on the table it is sturdy. Standing beside the table it wobbles easily with just a simple nudge, but to my surprise it is very stable after climbing on.
There are a couple of design flaws that nobody commented on. First, there is a support cross brace directly behind the nylon backing, which hits directly on my lower back area. I tried adjusting heights, but it still makes contact. The nylon backing has too much give and appears to already be stretching out and I'm only 5'9"/165. The other issue is the locking ankle clamps. It is somewhat difficult to get your feet in and out with shoes on. If you are fully inverting you are going to want to wear shoes. I think the best bet might be solid backboard with padding. However, I thought the nylon would be nice because it's breathable. As far as the ankle clamps go, straight foam padded ankle clamps or one of those easy-to-reach handle release bars might work better. I tried the Teeter Hang Up GL9500: the ankle clamps must have opened farther, but I don't remember if the cross bar was an issue. Think some pipe insulation may work for padding that annoying cross bar, but who knows. Happy hunting, it was a pain (no pun intended) to find a place to test different models and make a final decision. To me this machine isn't worth more than $150, hope this info helps you decide.
