Teeter Review

About Teeter

Did you know that 8% of all adults experience some form of back pain^[1] and that back pain is the sixth most expensive medical condition in the United States^[2]? Some people would recommend that more people deadlift more often, but Teeter offers an alternative – and potentially safer – solution.

This American brand has over 40 years of experience in making home equipment that can specifically target back pain. Their inversion tables can help customers decompress their backs to reduce tension and relieve stress. 

Their products are already rather popular judging by their 10k Instagram followers. However, you probably want to know if they’re effective. 

I’m going to answer that question, alongside how their products work, who their products are for, and what customers think about them, all in this Teeter review. 

Overview of Teeter

Teeter has been reconnecting people to activity and fitness since 1981. The family-owned business is different from other home equipment brands in that they focus on items that can directly relieve customers’ back pain and help them reclaim their mobility.

Roger Teeter battled with back pain for years before he founded his titular company. His years spent improving his ailment through inversion treatment provided him the insight necessary to develop an instrument that people could use at home.

The great thing about inversion therapy is that people can use it for more than rehabilitation. They can use Teeter’s item to prevent future injuries by strengthening their muscles^[3] or by stretching after a workout.

Many of Teeter’s products are built with versatility in mind, both in terms of who can use them and how they can be used. 

Combine that with the brand’s free app that includes workouts for every piece of Teeter fitness equipment and you could develop your own workout regimen without even having to visit the forums on bodybuilding.com.

That covers the broad strokes about what makes Teeter unique, but it’s worth telling you about what makes their products so special. I’ll continue on that note after the highlights section of this Teeter review.

Highlights

• Home fitness equipment designed to target back pain
• Trainer-created workouts and fitness plans are available through the Teeter app
• All Teeter products are FDA certified
• You can book virtual demo sessions for certain products
• Free shipping on all US orders

• 60-day return policy
• Financing payment plans are available 

I won’t cover every available item in my Teeter review, but I’ll cover a good number so that you can see what the brand offers. They also produce strength training equipment, accessories, and recovery aids.

Teeter Products Review

A good exercise should put your major and minor muscles through a solid workout, much like how I’m going to spend this section of this Teeter review covering some of the brand’s major and minor products. 

Teeter Power10 Elliptical Rower Review

Muscular balance is essential to building a better body for both aesthetic and functional reasons. Why do you think most bodybuilders spend just as much time doing pushing movements as they do pulling movements? 

Luckily, the Teeter Power10 Elliptical can lessen how much time you’ll have to spend doing either while still providing great results.

This rowing machine can give resistance at both ends of the movement, meaning that you’ll have to work to push and pull the levers. It also engages your lower body as you have to push through your legs to begin every rep.

The Teeter Power10 Elliptical is both a strength and a cardio machine, and combining both exercise styles is a great way to build muscle and burn fat.

You can use this machine to do high-intensity interval training, row at a more moderate pace, or follow along with a workout that Teeter’s coaches generated on the brand’s app.

Additionally, this machine can measure your heart rate through Bluetooth, track your performance on its digital interface, and requires little-to-no maintenance. Magnets provide resistance on either end so you won’t have to adjust weights with levers and pulleys.

The Teeter Power10 Elliptical can be yours for $1,100, which is a discount on the normal price of $1,200.

Teeter Massage Foam Roller – 13 or 26 inch Review

The next item in this Teeter review is a staple for anyone with a tight back, legs, or glute muscles. By now, everybody who’s ever stepped into a gym has flirted with a foam roller before, but this one may be a step above what you’re used to.

As its title suggests, the Teeter Massage Foam Roller – 13 or 26 inch comes in two different sizes. You can grab it in either length, but that’s not where its versatility ends.

This foam roller offers you the ability to choose how firm you want it to be. The smoother blue option is gentler and better for rolling out your body for general maintenance. The grey variant is firmer, making it a better choice for attacking tight knots. 

Every style of this item can be used to reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and diminish scar tissue. These processes can speed up recovery time, meaning that you can get back to working out faster and see results more quickly.

Depending on which variant you select, the Teeter Massage Foam Roller – 13 or 26 inch can cost anywhere from $30 to $35.

Teeter Inversion Table

The next section of my Teeter review will hone in on a specific branch of the company’s stock that may look like a torture device to the uninitiated. 

However, these inversion tables can be seen as reverse torture racks in that they could add some healthy years to your life by helping you stretch and exercise.

Teeter FitSpine LX9 Inversion Table Review

There’s no reason to let lower back pain stop you from living your best life. This Teeter inversion table can help customers decompress their spines and improve their posture by stretching out their muscles.

The Teeter FitSpine LX9 Inversion can accommodate users of all sizes. It can support users measuring anywhere from 4’8” to 6’6” and who weigh up to 300 pounds. It can bend and modify its angles through its roller hinge system.

You can further improve your experience with this instrument by downloading the TeeterMove app to access specific instructions, lessons, and exercises plans devised by the Teeter team. 

They can help guide you through the proper movements and suspensions to answer your needs.

The Teeter FitSpine LX9 Inversion weighs 73 pounds so it’s sturdy enough to support you yet light enough to maneuver. You can add it to your home gym for only $550.

Teeter Dex II Inversion & Core Training System Review

The other Teeter table I’ll examine is this review is a compound lower back and core contraption. The Teeter Dex II Inversion & Core Training System is a versatile device that can help you stretch, build muscle, and recover from injury. 

Due to its heavy steel base, multiple available angles, and numerous handles, this product can be used to target a variety of muscle groups. 

Much like the last product featured in this Teeter review, it can handle loads up to 300 pounds in weight and be used by people as tall as 6’6”.

Here are just a few exercises that you can perform on the Teeter Dex 2 Inversion & Core Training System:

• Glute-hamstring raises
• Incline push-ups
• Tricep dips
• Back extensions
• Elevated abdominal crunches

This machine weighs just under 60 pounds and measures 41” by 29” by 45”. It can help relieve your back pain, strengthen your abs, or tone your posterior chain for $450.

Teeter FreeStep

I’ll dedicate this upcoming section to the Teeter FreeStep machines. These devices can form the backbone of any home gym because everyone could use at least one cardio machine in their life.

Teeter FreeStep LT1 Recumbent Cross Trainer Review

The first FreeStep machine I’ll hone in on in this Teeter review is the more affordable of the two options. The Teeter FreeStep LT1 Recumbent Cross Trainer is light on the joints as it uses a low-impact system to deliver a full-body workout.

Most cardio machines – I’m looking at you, treadmills – are infamous for tearing up your joints and leaving you more banged up than you were when you began your workout. That shouldn’t be the case when you use this cross-trainer. 

Not only will you be sitting on a cushioned seat, holding onto firm foam grips, and listening to the quiet oscillation of the gears, but you shouldn’t feel anything but a burn in your muscles. 

The Teeter FreeStep LT1 Recumbent Cross Trainer uses magnets to add or subtract resistance, letting you choose how hard you want to push yourself.

This machine has a battery-powered display that tracks your time, distance, calories burned, and other biometrics. You can go at your own pace or follow along with a workout on Teeter’s app.

Take the stress off of your bones with the Teeter FreeStep LT1 Recumbent Cross Trainer for $850.

Teeter FreeStep LT3 Recumbent Cross Trainer Review

The final item I’ll look at in this Teeter review is the Teeter LT3, a premium version of the previous FreeStep cross-trainer. This item improves upon everything the LT1 does in minor yet significant ways.

The Teeter FreeStep LT3 Recumbent Cross Trainer features a more comfortable seat that’s thicker and bigger than its forebearer. It’s slightly larger as a whole, but that’s because it’s made to be slightly more durable.

Additionally, this cross trainer has three different reclining positions, adjustable handles, and easily-manipulated resistance. It can provide a tough yet forgiving stimulus for your muscles and cardiovascular system without pummeling your joints.

You can purchase the Teeter FreeStep LT3 Recumbent Cross Trainer for $1,000.

Who Is Teeter For? 

Teeter products are not just for people who suffer from back pain, even though that’s the company’s target demographic. They’re also good for people who wish to prevent any future back injuries by stretching and strengthening their muscles.

Teeter Reviews: What Do Customers Think?

I consulted with other Teeter reviews from across the internet to see how well the company helped people with their back pain and mobility issues.

The first place I gathered customer reviews was the company’s own website. Here are the average scores of the products I featured in this Teeter review:

• Teeter FitSpine LX9 Inversion: 4.7/5 stars based on more than 2,600 ratings
• Teeter FreeStep LT1 Recumbent Cross Trainer: 4.7/5 stars based on more than 900 ratings
• Teeter FreeStep LT3 Recumbent Cross Trainer: 4.6/5 stars based on more than 1,700 ratings
• Teeter Dex II Inversion & Core Training System: 4.5/5 stars based on more than 160 ratings
• Teeter Massage Foam Roller – 13 or 26 inch: 4.5/5 stars based on more than 30 ratings

Teeter’s famed inversion tables were praised by customers for helping them recuperate from back pain. People said that the devices helped dampen or outright alleviate long-term pain that had been impeding their movement and activity levels.

Here’s what one customer wrote in their 5/5 stars review of the Teeter FitSpine LX9 Inversion Table: “I absolutely love this inversion table and the relief I’m experiencing with gradual progression with the easy-to-use adjustment features of the LX9.”

The company’s products were also celebrated for how easily they could be assembled. People didn’t report having any trouble putting together the equipment.

That’s exactly what one customer loved about their Teeter Inversion Table, alongside the fact that it helped them so late into their life: “A great opportunity to improve your back and spine condition without having to leave home. Assembly was fairly easy and start up sessions were very doable even for a 70 year old male.”

Teeter’s shipping practices were popular on Better Business Bureau, to the point that the company earned an A+ rating. One customer (of many) praised multiple aspects of shopping with Teeter in their review:

“The Customer Service rep was enthusiastically cooperative and helpful. The product is smooth, quiet and in my opinion, among the best constructed and functional piece of home gym exercise equipment we have purchased over the years.”

The final place that I checked for customer reviews was on SiteJabber. The positive review I found there claimed that the Teeter Inversion Table helped them overcome back problems that had been plaguing them for over 7 years.

On the whole, people were incredibly grateful for Teeter for the product’s ability to strengthen their muscles and improve their recovery.

Is Teeter Worth It?

Teeter is definitely worth looking into if you are interested in recovering from a back injury. 

Admittedly, I’m not an expert in inversion therapy, so I can’t speak on the practice’s merits, but I can say that the positive Teeter reviews lead to believe that it could be a practical remedy for some people.

Teeter Promotions & Discounts 

Teeter offers some of their products for a fraction of their retail price on their special offers webpage. Some of these items are discounted because they’ve been used by other customers and are being resold in refurbished conditions. 

Others are brand new and just looking for a home to call their own. Why not save yourself some money and welcome a Teeter product into your abode?

You can also save 10% if you are military personnel, medical staff, or a first responder. All you need to do is enter proof of your employment on the product purchase page and Teeter will knock 10% off of your purchase.

Are There Health Issues That Would Prevent Me from Inverting?

I couldn’t find any health issues that Teeter reported that would prevent someone from using their products. The only concern I could think of is if you fall outside of the height or weight range of their products, you may be more likely to injure yourself.

What is Teeter’s Warranty Policy?

You can register for Teeter’s 5-year product warranty plan by signing up on the company’s website.
