Did you catch our recent Good Morning America appearance on April 25th, 2008? Technology correspondent Becky Worly rated four pieces of exercise equipment available from infomercials, handing out grades of “C-,” “B,” “A-,” and “huh?”
Can you guess which grade the Teeter Hang Ups inversion table received? That's right - Worly gave us an A-, the best grade of all the products! GMA correspondent Robin Roberts was impressed with the grade. “She does not hand out the A’s easily,” Roberts noted to the crowd. Worly reported that she liked the Teeter Hang Ups inversion table because it was “easy to use,” and “feels really good.” Her only gripe was that its "kinda spendy" however, she went on to say, "BUT I really like it!" Worly noted that it is a “sturdy piece of equipment, which is good because you're hanging upside down!” Roberts agreed, "You want it to be sturdy!"
With an MSRP of $359, the inversion table had the highest price point of the products she rated, though it was by far the most highly engineered and robust. If you have any doubts as to the quality materials and product testing that goes into building a product that meets our high production standards, please take a moment to review these pages within our site:

Researchers Find Inversion Therapy to be Promising for Back Problems!
A preliminary study from Newcastle Hospital shows evidence that the regular use of an inversion table may significantly reduce the need for back surgery. Patients who were told they needed sciatic operations were divided into two groups. One group regularly practiced inversion therapy along with regular physiotherapy, while the other practiced physiotherapy alone. The results showed that patients who practiced inversion were 70.5% less likely to require surgery. Read more...
Does inversion therapy help with depression?
You may have recently spotted the Teeter Hang Ups inversion table on "The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet" -- or heard Rosie O'Donnell discussing her experience with depression recently on "The View." Rosie reported that she has battled depression and seasonal mood problems and discussed taking antidepressants and doing inversion therapy for 15-30 minutes a day. So you may be wondering - will inversion help with depression? Read more...
Gravity Boots make guest appearance in magician David Blaine's latest primetime TV special
During magician David Blaine’s latest death-defying stunt on May 8th, 2006, he was shown performing inverted sit-ups in a pair of Teeter Hang Ups Gravity Boots. In order to prepare for his latest feat of endurance, Blaine used the Gravity Boots to keep his body in peak condition. David Blaine is known as the Houdini of his generation, performing such acts as burying himself alive, remaining suspended in a box over a river for 44 days and his latest stunt in which he attempted to hold his breath under water for nine minutes.
Teeter Hang Ups products have been featured on a number of highly-rated television productions in the last year, including The Next Great Champ on FOX, Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel (in a segment with Vijay Singh), The Soup on E! and in one of rapper 50 Cent's music videos.
Ever wonder where Da Vinci Code author, Dan Brown, gets his inspiration?
Da Vinci Code author, Dan Brown recently told press of his affinity for gravity boots. Brown reported to his fans via his website that “hanging upside down seems to help me solve plot challenges by shifting my entire perspective.” Apparently inversion is a powerful muse; aside from writing five of the top 15 bestselling books in 2004, the Da Vinci Code has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide. The movie adaptation of the Code will be released May 2006.
Teeter Hang Ups Outperforms Competition in Product Quality Tests
There are no government regulations to effectively control the structural integrity or reliable function of inversion tables. The
market is therefore subject to inconsistent or inferior product quality. With no way to quantify claims of safety, this term is
commonly used without support; so the question remains, what is safe? In an effort to answer this dilemma, STL International,
Inc., manufacturer of the Teeter Hang UpsŪ brand, hired an independent and nonbiased engineering firm to compare and test the seven most widely distributed
inversion tables. Click here to learn more about the results.
