The Rebounder Buying Guide

!±8± The Rebounder Buying Guide

Buying a rebounder is like buying anything else. The more it costs, generally, the better the quality. You may think that quality doesn't matter when buying a mat held up with springs that make you bounce, but if you want to save money and reduce your chances of injury, choosing quality over price is the way to go. Here's a quick buying guide for you.

You can definitely go into a sporting goods store and find nice looking rebounders for under but remember: You get what you pay for. If you don't mind replacing them 2-5 times a year and could care less about the safety of your ankles, then feel free to do so. So when I say going for quality will actually save you money, this is why. You don't have to replace the quality mini trampolines nearly as often.

So how much do the quality ones usually go for? Expect to invest anywhere from 0 - 0. I'm sure some of you are asking yourselves, "Who would pay 0 for a trampoline?" If you are serious about getting fit and having fun doing it, then this type of investment is advisable. Of course, you don't have to go for the most expensive one. There are plenty quality rebounders for around 0.

Think of it this way, would you rather spend 00 on a treadmill that you know is going to end up collecting dust or a few hundred dollars on something that your whole family could enjoy? So let's get down to what you should look for when buying one of these mini trampolines.

These are the things you want to consider:

Quality of springs (thin flimsy ones will wear off quickly)

Frame material (go with steel)

Inversion (if the mat sags in the middle, it will make your ankle bend inward, avoid this)

Noise (the squeaky sounds from cheap springs can get pretty loud)

Bounce (how well it can spring your body up in the air)

If you can, try the rebounders out before buying them. You want one that feels comfortable for you while keeping the things I listed above in consideration.

Having a fitness device that you can use for years and still have it retain its quality will cost more now, but will save you a lot of money down the line. You can either take my word for it, or just go get a cheap rebounder for and find out for yourself.
