I was at Costco a few days ago and was surprised to see a really excellent looking inversion table there for $200. It was a very sturdy medical grade table like the one I own, but I thought the ankle holders were far superior. They were more adjustable and more curved on top and bottom, making your weight much better distributed and (it would seem) less painful to the ankles.
Really an excellent looking table at an amazing price. I won't buy it since I already own a medical grade IT, but it's definitely both cheaper and improved. My two complaints about most inversion tables is their lack of stability and badly implemented ankle anchors. This one excels at both plus it looks really nice with a leather bra that supports a built in pillow kind of head support. Very very nice.
