 Very good for the price Mar 31, 2007
By B. McEwan
"yellokat"
On the advice of my chiropractor, I decided to buy an inversion table, but didn't want to spend a lot of money because I feared it would be yet another piece of equipment that would end up collecting dust in my spare room, along with my rowing machine and exercise bike. So I purchased this Calm system because it was inexpensive and I figured I could sell it or send it back if I ended up not using it.
Well, so far I and my spouse have found it to be very good for relieving back pain, and best of all you don't have to spend a lot of time on the machine. About 3 or 4 minutes a couple of times a day is all it takes to relieve lower back spasms and stretch out the spine.
Also, the machine is quite light weight and easily folds to shove in a closet or behind a wall unit. Overall, I am pleasantly surprised and would recommend this system. There is no need to spend a lot of money in order to experience the benefits of inversion therapy.

 Could be Designed Better Mar 08, 2007
By Terry Swick
"Shadow's Mom"
For a home-type Gravity Inversion Table, the Calm 55-1532 by Stamina is okay. I've had absolutely no trouble with it. The only thing I would change about it, though, is the 'bar' or 'foam' that is right at the buttocks level when laying on it. It cuts into the buttocks and is uncomfortable. Due to this reason, it is impossible to stay on it as long as one would like. This part is NOT adjustable, either, because it is built in to the 'bed' of the table. I would definately spend a little more on a slightly better designed one next time. If it weren't for this one problem, I'd rate it good-excellent.

Great Value Apr 09, 2008
By Scott Bright
"scottypotty"
This table is a very good value. I've seen ones more than twice the price that weren't any better. I am very happy with it.
Notes:
- I like the fact that it folds up. Most of the expensive ones do not fold up and they have a large footprint.
- I found that you need to add two inches to your height to get the best balancing. Once you go upside down, you slide an inch so you might have to grab the handles to come back up.
- There is some pressure on the tops of your feet/ankles. You are being held upside down by your feet after all. I find slippers or shoes help.
- Mine had foam padding at the crossbar and I don't feel it at all.
- This table does fully invert. It will lock when fully inverted so you can do sit ups.
- I weight 210 and it holds me with no problem and is very stable.
- One of the end caps of the handles was broken. I emailed customer support and they mailed one out no questions asked.
- My daughters age 3 and 11 love it.

 Great quality for the money Jan 01, 2008
By K. Petralia
I saw this product for twice the price on multiple websites before it occurred to me to check Amazon. It provided noticeable relief for my husband's lower back pain, though didn't do much for my upper back/neck. It's very easy to assemble, and highly adjustable for just about anyone of any height. The footpad is pretty comfortable, even when you make it really tight, but I would recommend wearing shoes (even hightops, if you have them) for extra support. It's not that easy to fold up and put away, so you really need to put it somewhere you don't mind seeing it every day, especially if you will use it often.

Fantastic!! Jul 14, 2007
By Debs
"peanut"
I purchased this item for my husband. He has some damage to a couple of discs and by the end of the day, after driving for at least 6 hours, he usually has lower back pain caused by spine compression. I read the reviews on this and similar products and figured it would be worth a shot.
OH MY GOSH!!!!......My husband is in heaven!!!..... He uses it morning and evening for just 5 minutes. He tells me that it his the best gift I ever got for him. He still gets some back pain during the day but he uses the therapy table and the pain goes away. This particular model seems well built and was easy to assemble.
