Innova ITX9400 Inversion Table

I got it unboxed and assembled in a few hours. Set aside some time to unpack and inventory all the parts, it took me almost as much time to unpack everything than to assemble it. Everything was individually wrapped in plastic and reinforced with cardboard if necessary. I can see why it only has a 300lb limit. Even though the metal tubes give it an appearance of being overbuilt, when you start working with it, you will see that it is not heavy gauge steel and can distort if you over tighten the nuts. The weakest point is the footrest (the platform you stand on when getting on the machine) which bend when you stand on them. For reference, I weigh 210lbs which is well under the weight limit. That being said, everything fit together well and assembly was relatively easy (minus a bonehead thing I did because I didn't read the instructions carefully). There is no need to worry about falling over when inverted, it is very stable. I went fully inverted and my back felt better afterwards. What the directions doesn't tell you is that the farther down your head goes, the harder it is to pull yourself upright. There's no gearing to help you, it's a straight 1:1 pull back upright. Just keep this in mind when you go fully inverted. Resembling a ladder, the legs fold together. It's almost compact and easy to move around. I say almost because the length is about 6' when folded. Feature wise, I'm a bit disappointed. I was hoping that the selection points locked the table into the 6 positions, it doesn't. They're stoppers and just prevent the table from going beyond the chosen points. If I start at position 1 and want to change to position 2, I have to go back down to change the setting. Having the ability to change on the fly would be so much easier. I'm surprised that they didn't include a remote release for the hold down mechanism. I have to bend down to release my feet which causes pain to my back which pretty much negates the positive inversion affects. I'll need to attach a strap or chain to pull the spring-loaded release pin. All in all, everything works, I recommend this device.

I got it at a very good price. It took me an about 45mins to put together. Im sure its less time with two people. Very sturdy. It's easy to put away (the back rest stands out awkwardly). And its trial and error to find your own center of gravity ( the height of the back rest). Overall i am satisfy with my purchase.
