Ironman Gravity 4000 Inversion Table
Ironman fitness products are well-known for their quality of build and durability. The company’s expertise has been put to good use in their Ironman Gravity 4000 Inversion Table.
Inversion tables are used to help alleviate stress and fatigue in the back and can also stimulate the circulation. They do this by improving lumbar traction which relieves the pressure on your vertebrae discs and ligaments. This has an effect on the whole body as when the back relaxes it makes it easier for other parts to do so. Athletes of all types also use inversion tables to gain greater flexibility and the devices are said to be a benefit to those with certain kinds of backache.
The Ironman Gravity 4000 inversion table is strongly-constructed from tubular steel with a foam cushioned backrest and a removable lumbar cushion. It is simple to use; after securing your feet in the ankle cushions the arms are raised overhead and the unit will gradually begin to invert, up to 90 degrees if required.
For safety the Ironman Gravity 4000 Inversion Table is fitted with rubber floor stabilizers which prevent it sliding on the floor and it has long handles which are grasped when it is time to return to the upright position. The unit is suitable for people up to 6 feet 6 inches in height and up to 350 lbs in weight. After use the table folds for storage.

The Reviews
The Ironman Gravity 4000 inversion table reviews were of a high order, with most people giving the unit a top rating. Most reviewers found the unit to be very solid and robust, giving them a feeling of confidence when in the inverted position. The molded ankle supports also drew much praise with users saying that the supports were comfortable and they could use the machine without having to wear shoes. Here was praise also for the results that were achieved after using the table. Some reviewers said that their backache was eased and that the effects lasted for some time after leaving the table.
Another plus point for this item is that it was straightforward to assemble although it is quite heavy and might need two people to move it around.
There were a couple of reviews from people who found the ankle cuffs to be uncomfortable and this is probably a personal issue as most reviewers stated the opposite. There was also one reviewer who criticised the table for its weight. The weight of the machine is really an advantage as it makes it stable and safer to use.
Some people said that the Ironman 4000 was the best inversion table they had used and they would recommend it to anyone. We have to say that the many reviews that we have read give us the confidence to recommend it to you. It is a well-made device that seems to work well and should give many years of service.
