Body Power Inversion Table

The Body Power inversion table offers an affordable basic inversion solution for those who want to get their feet wet with inversion therapy, but are wary of investing too much in it. Is this a good starter table, or should you look at other options? Here is a review of this product to help you decide.

Features

This is a simple, straightforward inversion table with all the basic features you’d expect. It has a sturdy tubular metal frame with skid-resistant rubber feet to ensure a stable base on most surfaces. The height is adjustable via a chrome center beam, and the supported heights range between 4’8″ and 6’8″.

The padded handlebars are quite long, not full length but long enough to reach from high inversion angles.

The table itself weighs about 47 pounds, and it is rated for a user weight capacity of 250 pounds.

Ankle System

The ankle clamping system is a standard four-padded roller setup. It looks and feels like similar setups on inversion tables in this price range and you shouldn’t expect a great amount of comfort from them. Don’t use this table without wearing shoes, in other words.

Assembly

The assembly instructions for this table are a mix of real English and Chinese translated English. It can be tricky to follow and takes some concentration and clear thinking to get done. You can expect to spend about an hour assembling it, and you’ll be well advised to use your own wrenches for fastening everything instead of the cookie-cutter tool you get with the package.

You’ll be staking your safety on this device, so tighten everything properly with proper tools to avoid unnecessary accidents.

Using the Table

The backrest is pretty standard on this model and is neither particularly uncomfortable nor exceedingly comfortable. At this budget price, you can hardly expect anything more than the basics, and this gets the job done.

You can set your height with a slide and pin-lock mechanism on the front bar. Inversion angles are controlled with a tether strap, which is simple enough, easy to use, and safe.

The ankle clamps are pretty much as you would expect from a basic padded roller system. Barefoot, you’ll experience some discomfort. You should either pad these yourself with towels or some other material, or you should wear shoes. It may take a bit of experimentation to find the kind of shoe that gives you the most comfort. Overall the clamps do the job, but they’re nothing special.

This is one of the few inversion tables where users seem divided over its sturdiness and build quality. This isn’t the sturdiest feeling table in this price range and we’d advise you not to push the weight limit too closely. It probably won’t dump you on the ground, but we can’t help but question its durability and strength. More than one person over 200 pounds have complained about the frame flexing and creaking under stress.

There isn’t much wrong with the way it works. It will get you inverted without too many problems, and if that is all you’re after, then this unit will do the trick. The slightly extended handles help you to get up out of inversion if you have trouble finding the perfect center of gravity.

The Body Power inversion table folds up for storage and can be tucked away in a corner without too much trouble.

Where to Buy

Verdict

The problem with the Body Power inversion table is that it is not the only table in the $100-$130 price range. Unfortunately for Body Power, it is also nowhere near the best. On an inversion table, you make yourself fairly vulnerable and there’s just no point saving a few bucks but ending up with a machine that’s just not that solid.

In this price range, we have to recommend the Ironman LX300 over the Body Power inversion table. It’s simply a much more solidly built and more comfortable unit for the same price. As long as you have alternatives, there is no reason to buy the Body Power table.

Pros:

  • Price
  • Folds up nice and small
  • Works as it should

Cons:

  • Uncomfortable ankle clamps
  • Concern about build quality
  • Overall not very comfortable
