Ironman LX300 Inversion Table Review

Our fast-paced lives cause a lot of stress, not only mentally but also physically.

That is where inversion therapy comes in.

It has helped me so much and I am eternally grateful that inversion therapy was introduced to me.

But finding the right table is not easy. There are so many different models.

And not everyone needs the most expensive. I, for one, did not.

After thorough research, I got the Ironman LX 300. For a newbie, I find it surprisingly easy to use!

And that was the primary goal for me.

It also has sufficient safety and comfort features – just enough to give that sore back some relaxing decompression. And it costs less than most.

Let’s take a closer look and see what this inversion table offers and if it is right for you.

 

Ironman LX300 Review

Pros

• Sturdy
• Easy height adjustment
• Foldable

Cons

• No headrest
• Does not lock securely when folded
• No indexing of inversion angle

 

Features

Ankle Locking System

Due to the pressure that the ankles absorb during inversion, comfortable locks and easy release system are must-haves.

Thankfully, the Ironman LX 300 has both.

The cushions hold the ankles securely. The foam rollers are fine, although I prefer something that fits more snugly. They are not ergonomic grips like those in more expensive inversion tables, but they work well enough to make you feel safe.

It also has a pull pin release system, a simple but very significant mechanism for people with back problems.

 

Stable Frame

Stability is another major factor to look for in inversion tables. Nobody wants to compromise safety in a very risky piece of exercise equipment.

Despite its affordable price, the Ironman LX 300 has a heavy-duty steel frame. It allows the table to stay firmly positioned on the floor.

 

Design And Specifications

The Ironman LX 300 is a compact inversion table measuring 46.5 x 27 x 57 inches (L x W x H) and weighing 55 lbs.

It is quite stable mainly due to the 1.5 inches thick square steel frame.

The backrest is made of 3/4″ soft foam. However, it would be much more comfortable if it has a headrest.

The table’s 275-pound weight capacity is a bit lower than most inversion tables, but it should still be sufficient for most.

Its height range is also 1-2 inches shorter than other inversion tables. It can be adjusted between 4’10” and 6’6″.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it easy to set-up?

Yes. Assembly is relatively easy, although instructions could be better written. It is also advisable to use your own tools instead of the ones that come with the table.

Does it fold for easy storage?

Yes. It can be folded when not in use or if you need to move it to another location. However, it needs a more secure locking mechanism.

What is the user weight capacity?

The maximum user weight is 275 lbs.

My husband is more than 6 feet tall. Can he use this table?

Absolutely. It can be adjusted to accommodate users up to 6’6″ tall.

Are there indicators for the degrees of inversion?

None. There is an adjustable strap to control the degree of inversion, but there are no markers to indicate specific degrees.

Will an inversion table crack my back?

There is a good chance it will, but not necessarily. Luckily, we have an article titled Will An Inversion Table Crack My Back, which you should read for more information.
