Teeter are the market leaders in inversion tables and their latest range of models has quickly become renowned as being one “the best” conversion tables in the market.
In this article we set out to give an in-depth review of the Teeter Hangups Fitspine X3 Inversion Table to see what all the fuss is about.
Teeter was established over 40-years ago by Roger Teeter.
They have subsequently grown to be a company that has established a market leadership based on its commitment to innovation, build quality and safety of their products.
The aesthetics of the design are advanced and refined. The Teeter Hangups Fitspine X3 table itself is mounted on a sturdy A-frame which looks and feels solid.
One more important detail about the design features that makes the Teeter range of Inversion Tables stand out is that they are the only ones on the market that are certified by the FDA as a medical device.
Teeter have gone to extraordinary lengths in the design, manufacture and certification of their Inversion Table models.
They have crammed a host of useful features and design innovations into their models. Below is a more detailed description of the main features of the Fitspine X3
Easily set the angle of inversion with the pre-marked settings that take the uncertainty from the users Inversion. It has presets for 20°, 40° and 60°
These surround and envelope the ankles comfortably, distributing the weight uniformly around the heels and feet, hence avoiding stress points round the ankles.
An extended handle makes it super easy to secure ankles. The handle itself is manufactured using aerospace grade steel and there is a micro-ratchet to help get that perfect ankle fit. It also features a gravity-activated safety lock.
These are great accessories for highly targeted decompression around the lower back and other stress points. They can be positioned anywhere along the tracks that are located on the bed.
Unlike some tables that use foam padding, the Teeter X3 uses a firm surface designed to stretch and lengthen your spine without the loss of performance associated with foam beds. It also features an 8-Point floating suspension system that gives the bed a pliability to ensure it matches your shape exactly.
Ergonomically designed and positioned for maximum ease of use, these handles assist the user in by offering stretch options regardless of the Inversion angle.
These handles make it simple to add decompression and rhythmic oscillation at shallower angles. They also feature a quick release button for a one press release from full inversion.

So, great things are to be expected when it comes to design and build quality
Whilst the solidity of the build makes this a robust and safe device when in use, but be warned it is fairly heavy for moving.
But that's what comes with having a sturdy build quality and in it's defense is still lighter than most others in the market.
Not Very Portable – Due to the quality and weight of the construction materials this isn’t the most mobile of devices but it's definitely bearable and not much different to others. It is best stored in it's own permanent location.
Price – You get what you pay for and this is a premium product. It isn’t over-priced as such, you get an awful lot for your money but it isn’t the cheapest option on the market.
Really the cons are just nit-picking, it is heavy because it is well-constructed, and this is also reflected in the price.
But what you do get for your money is a well-thought out, highly-engineered, masterfully designed Inversion table that can only enhance Teeter’s position as the market leaders in this field.
If you suffer from back pain or other muscular pains and are looking for a quality piece of kit to help alleviate the aches and pains then the Teeter Hangups Fitspine X3 comes highly recommended.
Overall, we found the product to be easy to use, effective at its job and incredibly well-built.
