In summary, we try to put “the FUN” back into group exercise classes. Our programme is inclusive – all ages, fitness levels and genders. We have programmes from 8 year olds plus , first time exerciser to elite athlete.
The perfect activity for disengaged kids!
We have experienced fantastic results in helping schools reach government targets in key areas like KS3/4 girls, semi-sporty participation, ethnic and obese populations. Because the same equipment can be used for the Adults classes, some schools open the classes up in the evening to Parents and or Parents and Child classes as well as classes for the staff!
We believe that our programme offers an alternative to mainstream sports that not everyone is naturally good at, and provides options for those uncomfortable with visiting a gym.
The programme is Inclusive and everyone works at their own levels to ensure that they are successful and comfortable with the workout. This builds confidence, and ensures that they keep coming back to the workouts.
We have a variety of different workouts to keep Instructors and participants motivated. They are available as workshops as well as on DVD's to help instructors with routines. Workouts such as Box n Bounce, Interval Bound, Dance Bound, Hip Hop Bound, Core conditioning training, Latin Bound are Sports Specific are great fun!
For the Sporty and Athletic Child
The benefits from exercising on an unstable surface are unprecedented and deliver results such as improved balance and propriocetion, improved coordination, nervous system stimulation, helps injury prevention and recovery from injuries.
We have designed sport specific workouts and circuits that will complement a sport and improve performance on the playing field. Rebounding can be used as part of SAQ training also.
Special Needs Children
In our Special needs schools where we have launched the Urban Rebound programme, we have made very positive observations of Children who have learning, social and behavioral problems such as ADHD, and ADT etc. There is a lot of available research into rebound therapy for Children and Adults with special needs, as most of these individuals lack balance, rhythm and timing and using the rebounder helps improve all of these. The nice thing about our portable rebounders is you can have more than one child exercising at once as they all can have their own rebounder which can also have a stabilization bar easily fitted for the child's safety and to help build confidence.
Dr Alfhild Eklselen PHD from the is the founder of the Texas Association of Children with Learning Disabilities. . In her 40 plus years of experience working with learning disabled children, she has identified through observations how using a rebounder can provide many benefits for these populations.

For Children with injuries
Urban rebounding is the perfect activity for Children with common injuries and Children suffering from growth development conditions such as chondromalacia - patella and ozgoods shlatters disease. This is due to the participant being able to do high intensity cardio weight baring cardiovascular training, with very little impact on joint and soft tissues and developing bones. Our professional and uniquely designed rebounders have been researched to dissipate approximately 87% of the shock of impact compared to training on a hard surface.
This is backed up with validated impact research studies that are available to view and down load.
What is Urban Rebounding
Urban Rebounding is a cardiovascular workout performed to music on the Urban Rebounder which is a professional specially designed high quality, spring enhanced mini-trampoline with a non-slip surface. The unique workout utilizes familiar aerobic moves, sport specific moves and strength and conditioning exercises providing a good cardiovascular workout, placing minimal stress on the body, and continually challenging each person’s balance, coordination and proprioception. Because the workout is low impact the participants can exercise for longer, whilst working against gravity on the vertical plane and burning lots of calories!
