How far does the table invert? The video doesn't show a full inversion. Is this a sturdy unit? I'm 200lbs.

The way I have set mine up, it inverts back approximately 45%. It does seem fairly sturdy, once you get it together according to the instructions, and mine shows a "250 LB maximum" for the weight limit, so 200 lbs. should be fine.

It does a full inversion and it is very sturdy. It is for a max of 250 lbs. I was 197 when I started using it and was no problem whatsoever. I love having the extra set of handles...easier to pull yourself up. If I had it to do over again, I would buy this machine!

That may be stretching it. I recently had a 260 pound person on my table, and it was a little shaky. Don't get me wrong, this is one of the best tables I have used. I recommend it to everyone. But I believe 300 pounds would definitely be the maximum extreme. Good luck and enjoy.

Do you mean maximum weight of a person on the unit? If so, I don't know the official answer. You'd have to get that information from the manufacturer. The unit is very study and stable. I weigh 195, and from a engineering standpoint I have no doubt the unit would handle a 300 pound person. A bigger question is this: Should a very heavy person be using an inversion table? That's a question for the individual's doctor.

I'm 200 and its held up fine. It is wobbly though. I'd recommend something more commercial to be honest.

We asked my husband's neurosurgeon about using the inversion table. He said that one must be careful if he/she has high blood pressure. Pressure in the brain increases by 30 or more point when inverting. I googled the question about the length of inversion and found this: 1. How long should I invert? "This is probably the most commonly asked question about inversion. The answer really varies with different people. For the most part, we recommend beginners to start slowly: It is very easy to pull a muscle or nerve in the back by overdoing it. At slight angles there is little risk. Once you get to a point where your head is more than a foot or so below your feet you are achieving a strong degree of traction. Once you reach 45 degrees you are at a point that is stronger traction than you would achieve in a hospital. The angle of inversion also affects the length of inversion time that is comfortable. The shallower the angle, the longer the time. Most people will invert for 10 - 20 minutes once or twice a day. There is no real time limit. The important thing is to listen to your body and under do it rather than over do it. If you are at all uncomfortable, simply return upright slowly, resting in the horizontal position before coming all the way up. Virtually all issues of discomfort that occur with new invertees are due to going too far, too fast. You are wonderfully designed to be upside down, but if you are like most people, the last time you hung upside down you were a little kid. Just ease into inversion gradually. Increasing the angle of incline only as you feel comfortable."

It is alittle bit. I hold on to the bars, and bend my knees (bringing your weight towards your feet). Theres a point where your center of gravity flips the table back to the starting position. If you find it hard I would lower the feet harness (before you begin) so that your center of gravity is more towards feet then your head. That way when you want to flip back it takes less effort. good luck

Getting back up from even an upside down position is all about your arm placement & balance. Bear in mind, my husband uses the Teeter religiously & has no problem because he is 5'10" & weighs 175 lbs. I don't know how it would respond with someone with a different body physique. It came with a video & I would highly recommend watching it.

Sorry. I can't answer that as I don't have an inversion table. I bought the back stretcher as a very much less expensive alternative to an inversion table. I think if you have an inversion table it would work by itself better than the back stretcher. Good luck.

I have this model and weigh 212lbs. I feel confident it will support your weight. Very pleased with this unit and it's stability.

It does have a tether that you can set. I have not gone completely upside down yet. Not sure if I will. I have it set at approximately a 90 degree angle & am comfortable with it. LOVE my inversion table by Emer.

I'm right at 200 pounds and have not had a problem, installed mine 5 years ago. I have yet to bend mine so far.

This inversion table has helped me, however other people I know say it did not work. When I first started to use it, the pain got a little worse, but I stuck with it. I use the table 4X a day for 5 min. at a 20° angle as recommended by my chiropractor. If you have high blood pressure be careful.

I would not hang upside down from this thing. Not ever. I have a power rack that I do pull ups from, so I only use this for knee raises and dips.

Yes, this inversion table does rotate where you can be completely upside down. You can elect to have the tilt less than full if you desire. I normally hang completely upside down and then do crunches while hanging.Hope this helps in your evaluation. I have very pleased with my unit and use it most days.

The equipment is not square so it wobbles when being used, especially when using the front of the tower. I.e. the dips and VKRs. I am smaller in weight so it's fine for me but my husband is 160lbs and its more unstable for him.

It is pretty sturdy, I weigh 200 lbs and I am about 6ft and I have no issues with it. Very high quality piece of equipment.

There is a strap to control the amount of inversion . I use mind at about 60 degrees. If you go to a full 90 degree inversion there are handle bar to pull yourself back up if you don't have the pivots set so your arm movement will allow it to come back up. You don't have to go the full 90 degree to get the benefits of the table. I have use one now for about 8 years. This unit was an upgrade for my older cheaper version.
