There is a giant trampoline park about to open up in my town and i'm super keen to give it a go! they run fitness classes at them and it is like this:

Has anyone ever given this a go? how did you find it? is it effective?

    That sounds super fun! Trampolines are awesome for cardio. When I had mine I'd use it in place of anything else for cardio when I could. I'd imagine a class would be even more effective!

    I know right!- sounds fun!

    I read that 10mins on a trampoline is equiv. to 33 minutes running.....

    I haven't tried it but we have one in my town and a friend of mine said she loved it. She did say a friend had torn her ACL while doing it. So I guess as long as you avoid injury it would be awesome fun.

    I have something like that near me. I have taken a few classes. The classes were super easy, but a lot of fun!

    It really does sound fun, just remember to be cautious as trampolines can cause A LOT of injuries. I am sure the fitness instructor will show you how to be safe during a class, but just take it easy if you do feel out of whack after a workout. Enjoy your workout!

    I'm contemplating going down the the local gymnasium and signing upto some classes in sports trampolining and learning all the flips and moves!

    I wish there was something like that near me (UK). I did trampolining as a teenager and loved it. I think it is the most effective form of exercise, you work all muscles without realising you're doing it.

    Classes are a great idea, because once you've got the right technique you are less likely injure yourself.

    It's all fun and games until you snap your ankle up.

    No, but we have 4 in my area. They have an adults night (drinks, glow sticks,, lights out rave mode) which is awesome.

    Go go trampoline rangers!
