Trampolines and rebounders come in many different sizes, and choosing the right one for you will depend on your intended use and the amount of space you have at home.

JumpSport’s 250 Fitness Trampoline model was unstable during several exercises, and we noted that the small jump zone made it difficult to perform many moves. Read our editorial process to learn more about how we fact-check and keep our content accurate, reliable, and trustworthy. We completed 10 reps of basic jumps, squat jacks, low ski jumps, traditional squats, and high knees while evaluating each trampoline for its stability, bounce, quality, and overall value.Hines recommends that those with health issues first consult their doctor or health professional to make sure it’s the right exercise for them, as jumping on a trampoline or rebounder can be a strenuous activity for some. I have tried everything to make it quieter but sadly had no success I am new to rebounding and am enjoying this type of exercise. This will ensure longevity of the rebounder in case of small damage resulting from general wear and tear. It’s hard to think of a better form of home fitness that gives you such great results, is thoroughly enjoyable and is so accessible to all.

For added benefits, bouncing in bare feet or with socks can engage the feet, ankles, and lower legs more than when wearing sneakers. It has the 40 inch (100cm) frame, it has the same size jumping mat and it features strong steel springs as opposed to bungee ropes that are found on some other cheaper options. One of our testers, a certified personal trainer, loved this rebounder for its fantastic bounce, consistent comfort, and lightweight design. It weighs in at just 10kg, has a 99cm diameter frame, a 66cm diameter mat surface (for bouncing) and an impressive 150kg maximum weight limit. Body Sculpture is also a UK based company that dates back to the mid 1960s – and that sort of history counts for a fair bit.

A large jump zone is better for more dynamic movements and a versatile workout, whereas a smaller jump zone is a great space-saving option. It does not quite have the same high level of build quality as the Maximus range but it does mimic the premium brand pretty well. The stability handle bar is useful for those who need a little extra help with balance whilst getting used to the equipment and will build confidence by providing extra security whilst bouncing.
