In the fitness world today, each pound spent on equipment, continuing education, or certifications must provide a tremendous return on investment. This is especially true in Group Fitness. No General Manager or Group Fitness Director wants to spend any amount of money on a new Group Fitness concept that can be over as quickly as most exercise fads are. If all Urban Rebounding had to offer was the “traditional” class learned during instructor training, we could understand the tentativeness with which you may approach investing in such a program or piece of equipment. 

REPS Certified Instructor training available. 

Here are several ways the Urban Rebounders can be utilized and the Urban Rebounding concept expanded.

Studio Classes

The studio programme has been successfully running for over 5 years in the UK bringing individuals together in to the studio that would not normally take part in an aerobic group fitness session. It is particularly good for individuals who want to exercise to get fit and lose weight but cannot manage high impact activities. Urban Rebounding is ‘low impact’ so is very kind on the joints and burns a huge amount of calories. We have a variety of different workout outs to keep the programme fresh and members motivated such as a  30 minute lunchtime 'express class', to 60 minute traditional class, which incorporates aerobic and body conditioning all in one class. We have workouts like 'Box n Bounce', Interval Bound, Dance Bound, and Sports Specific workouts that are all great fun and keep members coming back for more! Rebounding is highly effective and gets results which is great for member retention.

Rebounding as a Personal Training Tool

The Urban Rebounder is an incredible tool for the Personal Trainer. A piece of equipment that can be transformed with ease from a Group Fitness setting to one-on-one situation is highly valuable in gyms today. Whether your client is in peak physical condition, recovering from minor or major surgery, or you are just searching for a different way to challenge your client in a cardiovascular way  in between strength sets -- the Urban Rebounder could be just the tool you are looking for.

Circuit Training

Using Rebounding for circuit training is a fantastic way to combine cardio, strength and balance training all in one workout session. There are many different ways you can run the rebounding circuit, either having each rebounder as it's own separate station, or intersperse the rebounders with other pieces of equipment in the gym. Members find the exercises prescribed challenging and a a refreshing change from standard circuit exercises.  Seasonal circuits can be done such as ski circuits, pre season football or Netball. Circuits designed for calorie burning and weight loss are also very popular. This is also great way to introduce people to rebounding who would not take part in a studio 'exercise to music session'. Hard core plyometric, balance and coordination  sessions can be designed for the sporting individuals wishing to stay injury free and on top of their game!

Children's Classes

We have a fantastic Children's programme that run as part of the Children's activities within Leisure centres. As you can imagine kids find rebounding great fun which keeps them coming back for more! Our rebound workouts are very inclusive because participants work at there own pace every child can join in complete the workout and feel successful. This is not only good for a child's health and fitness but also for building confidence. 

Parent and Child Classes

Many facilities now run parent and child rebounding classes as they are so popular with families. Not only is it great fun to exercise together but their are many psychological benefits also. Our Instructors are taught to educate families on leading healthy lifestyles and the importance of exercise. 

Older Populations

Urban Rebounding classes for the older generation are extremely popular and very effective as their is no impact on joints and rebounding is very kind on the body. We attract many older people back in to the studio who left because they are unable to do  high impact classes. This generation left to pursue aqua aerobics and pilates and can now return to partake in group exercise which is fantastic. Rebounding can have a very important impact on an older persons confidence as it will develop balance, joint stability and core strength without stressing the body.

Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation

Using a high quality rebounder as a rehabilitation device following injury or surgery is fantastic! It is much more versatile than other balance aids, and has a forgiving surface to work on. I have personally used the rebounder to rehabilitate many athletes and individuals with great success. A stabilization bar can be fitted to the rebounder for individuals needing a bit more help during early stages of rehab or if they feel they need a bit of extra help with balance training.
