Diadora Rebound Ace D.A. 2000

Advantages: Enjoyable, cheap, for all the family
Disadvantages: Not for the goal orientated exerciser, storage

...I was given a rebounder for Christmas and it has since become my favourite piece of home exercise equipment. My rebounder cost £17.99 from Argos which I think is a very reasonable price. Lets consider some facts. The frame is made from steel, the jumping surface is made from a strong heavy duty nylon. It will take a weight of up to 100kg/16st. The edging is padded with covered foam and the description gives the diameter as 92cm. The diameter should be clarified better. The diameter of the whole rebounder is 92cm, I've had my tape measure out and the actual rebounding surface is 68cms which I find perfectly ample. I'm about 5'3" but if you were much taller I wonder if you would find this rebounding surface too little for certain exercises. I was astounded at how much work I felt I'd done after my first go.

...You often see rebounders - little trampolines - lurking in the back of gyms, spurned by the 'real' fitness-freaks. I don't know why, they are wonderful inventions that deserve much more prominence in the fitness market. I bought my Body Sculpture Rebounder years ago from a UK catalogue shop. It was £19.99 and they are still around that price. It is well made and has certainly lasted well. Rebounding experts try to sell much more expensive models, claiming that support bars are necessary (only if you have a serious balance problem or have been hitting the wine), or that the quality of theirs is better. Rubbish. Body Sculpture are a reputable company who have been in the fitness game for a long time. They know what they are doing. What they have done with the Aerobic Rebounder is produce a quality product at a reasonable price... Read review
