Precor 240i Commercial Series StretchTrainer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Excellant product that offers outstanding lower back releif. Only problem is the price, which tends to be far more than what is should take to manufacture and sell at a profit. Nonetheless, if you have lower back disk and muscle pain, and have found little other relief, this is worth exploring. I used it at my gym for over a year before purchasing.

Nubax Trio Back Pain Reliever Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had back pain in the past, and even surgery for 2 heriatied disks in my lower back about 8 years ago (with a VERY positive outcome), and I'm only 48. Sciatica pain, but not from an injury. Then this holiday, I started in with the horrible sciatica pain and tingling in my leg and got scared. I can't do surgery again (but it was the only thing that helped).
So I started looking for something to help. I researched opinions on Amazon for the Back2life product and found a link to[....] to their review, and what they recommended, and that's where I found out about the Nubax product. I viewed some videos on YouTube and purchased it right away.
The packing of the product in the box is FANTANSTIC, and believe me, this is important. I purchases many items via mail order, and lots of things come poorly packed and damaged. You don't want to spend $300 on a product to have it show up damaged.
The assembly of the product is extremely simple, and it actually took more time to take the parts out of the box and remove the protective packing than it took to put it together.
The quality of the product is exceptional, considering the price and that it's made in China. It really is strong and well made.
It comes with an instruction book and a cd. It is very easy to use, and I feel relief right away. I can really feel the stretch in my spine from hip area to the mid shoulder area. I've never experienced anything like this.
I tried inversion tables, but I get motion sick when I hang upside down, so it doesn't work for me. And I can't afford the cost of going through multiple back traction therapies.
Thank you for bringing this product to the US!

LifeSpan Fitness SP1000 Stretch Partner Stretching Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The LifeSpan Stretch Partner is a machine I use in conjunction with other stretching devices to maintain flexibility. I am 58-years-old and being flexible become more important each passing year. A person could do the same routine from the floor and without the machine, but I have found that having it provides more motivation. My only complaint would be that this machine seems to be designed for a woman or smaller-than-average person.

Century VersaFlex Stretching Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought on accident both this stretcher and the Pro Leg Stretcher by Timas. I kept both for purposes of this review. My kids and wife have used both. The bottom line is that the Pro Leg Stretcher by Timas is a better machine, but is also slightly flawed. First I will discuss the Century VersaFlex STretching Machine.
The VersaFlex comes in like 50 pieces. Instructions are horrible. The pictures are too small and poor resolution. They are on different page than the written instructions. The pictures of the bolts are too large, not actual size but 110%, making it difficult to figure out which bolt is which unless you get a ruler. The handles that go at the end of the legs are not pictured or discussed adequately. I was still able to put it together in about 1.5 hours.
I am 5'11". The legs are too short by like 6 inches. Gimme a break. It would only have cost a few dollars more to make the legs longer. Now, my legs hang of the end, so all stretches are done with my knees bent and the end of the leg support digging into bertween my calf and ankle. I was going to make my own longer leg pieces since I have a wood shop, but now will likely give this unit away and keep the superior Pro Leg Stretcher.
The teeth on the ratchet assembly dont hold very well. If there is a lot of tension it will just close. The ratchet assembly is cheeply made and I can see why it is unreliable and multiple others have reported the cables breaking. The ratchet on mine is kockeyed and only engages 2/3 of the gear. Worse, the ratchet assembly has about 5 degree increments only. This is way too large.
The machine is rather large in that it is about 2 feet tall, and the legs dont close all the way but only to about 30 degrees making it take up more floor space than necessary. This also makes it more awkward to get into.
The VersaFlex has an angle gauge that is poorly positioned so the user cant read it very well. It is also off by about 15 degrees. (This is bad but the Pro Leg Stretcher has no means of measuring how far legs are spread).
With all these shortcomings it will still give you a powerful stretch. My stretch has improved faster than with no machine. I am extremely unflexible and it is hard for me to get in conventional stretching positions but this makes it easy to stretch.
Now on to the Pro Leg STretcher:
Wow. This one came fully assembled. The legs are long enough for me (5'11") but are still too short if you are much taller (but still way longer than the VersaFlex). Unlike the VersaFlex the vertical leg pads dont rotate. This is bad because the pad end tends to dig into my mid thigh a little bit. The wheel used to make the stretch is essentialy infinitely variable whereas the VersaFlex is in about 5 degree increments. Trust me, 1 degree change when you are near your pain threshhold is HUGE. You can eak out extra stretching power with the Pro Leg Stretcher that you cannot do with the VersaFlex because of this infinite variability rather than waiting a week or more for the next 5 degree increment. The back folds down on the Pro Leg Stretcher and the legs come completely together making it take up about half the floor space and half the height of the VersaFlex. While it is substantially better thant the VersaFlex, the Pro Leg Stretcher would be improved by makeing the vertical leg pads rotate and removable (like on the Versaflex) which would make it more comfortable and be able to slide under the bed. Also, there is no way to assess the amount the legs are opened. I am going to attach a tape measure from the end of one leg to the end of the other so I can better follow improvements. With these changes the Pro Leg Stretcher would have gotten 5 stars.
The VersaFlex gets only 3 stars for its many shortcomings.
UPDATE: After a couple months of use I now realize it is easy to follow your improvement with the Pro Leg Stretcher. Just start with it all the way closed, and count the number of turns you can do with the wheel. At 11 turns it becomes painful for me, and can slowly go up to 12 and a half now. Yeah, that is not degrees of leg opening but it does let you follow your improvement easily and reliably. I gave my Versaflex away, it remained clearly inferior.

Health Mark 60-Inch Portable Ballet Stretch Barre Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It seemed like I was shipped an item that was sent to someone else. Screws were stripped and the middle part of the bar took FOREVER to align and screw together correctly. The bar is very stable once you actually get it together.

FitForm Inversion Therapy Table by Teeter Hang Ups Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The FitForm Inversion Table is a quality product with a great price. There are a lot of inversion tables that do the same exact thing as the Fitform table at twice the price. It was very easy to assemble as it came practically assembled for you and the table is very sturdy and easy to move around. It's very comfortable around the ankles and easy to use. I just wish the back was made of foam or something a bit thicker but for the price, I can't complain.

Inversion therapy offers an easy, effective way to stretch out, reduce stress, and ease your back pain. Now FitForm makes the treatment accessible to more people than ever with this affordable inversion therapy table. Inversion therapy works by placing your body in line with the downward force of gravity. In the process, inversion elongates the spine, increases the space between the vertebrae, and relieves the pressure on discs, ligaments, and nerve roots. And less pressure means less back pain, as well as fewer headaches and neck problems.
The FitForm table is made of durable heat-treated steel, with injection-molded parts that provide a smooth, finished quality. The adjustable roller hinges and cam locks, meanwhile, provide a custom rotation for beginners, regular inverters, and experts. Add an adjustable tether that lets you invert to any angle and specialized pivot bearings that provide a lifetime of squeak-free rotation and you have everything you need to keep your back pain-free.
Other details include curved front ankle clamps that mold to the curve of your feet for added comfort and security; a removable nylon mat that cleans easily; and a frame that folds up compactly for easy storage. Best of all, the inversion table is remarkably easy to set up and use. It comes 85 percent pre-assembled, with the rest coming together in just 10 minutes or less. And to get you started, FitForm threw in an instructional DVD that guides you through your first moments of inversion, including how to set the table to meet your specific needs and how to perform certain stretching and strengthening exercises.
The FitForm inversion table accommodates people who stand between 4 feet 8 inches and 6 feet 6 inches and weigh up to 250 pounds. And at 45 by 58 by 28 inches (W x H x D), it takes up a minimum of space. Finally, the table carries a two-year warranty.
