Trampolines

The Trampoline Guide 

Trampolines
Ask anyone about their favourite childhood memories, and there's a good chance a trampoline sneaks into the conversation. Muddy socks, endless games and endless cries of "My turn!" never seem to get old. Today, that feeling hasn't gone anywhere. Outdoors, the choice includes round and rectangular trampolines, plus raised and in-ground setups. Compact fitness rebounders sit firmly in the indoor camp, with a bounce geared towards controlled exercise.

Why We Love Trampolines

It starts with one bounce. Before long, cheeks are glowing, legs are working harder than anyone realises and nobody wants to get off. That's the beauty of a trampoline. It gets people moving without ever feeling like a chore, building balance, coordination and fitness along the way.

Garden Trampolines

A garden trampoline takes up a fair bit of space, stays put for most of the year and often ends up becoming one of the most-used spots outside. Size matters, but so do the shape, the height and the safety details around the mat. 

Round or rectangular?  

Round trampolines pull the bounce back towards the centre, which feels natural for family play. Rectangular models give jumpers more room to move across the mat and tend to feel more controlled underfoot.

Above-ground or in-ground?

Above-ground trampolines have the familiar raised frame and may need a ladder. In-ground models sit much lower, blending more naturally into the garden.  

Safety around the bounce

Safety features deserve just as much attention as size or shape. Look for a well-fitted safety net, generous edge padding over the springs and frame, and a sturdy frame.  

Room to bounce

Smaller trampolines work well in compact gardens. Larger models give more space to jump and play.

Fitness Trampolines

A fitness trampoline doesn't need much room, but it can fit a surprising amount into a workout. Cardio, balance, coordination and strength all come into play, and the springy surface gives rebounding a very different feel from running or jumping on the floor.

What's so good about rebounding?

Rebounding is one of those workouts that looks easier than it feels. The bounce is gentler on the joints than running, but it doesn't take long before your legs, core and heart know they're working.  

How do you use one?

Use it to get your heart rate up, loosen up before training, add a lively round to a circuit or slow things down for balance work. It can be as gentle or demanding as you make it.  

Springs or bungees?

Try one of each and you'll notice the difference straight away. Springs feel lively and responsive. Bungees create a softer, quieter bounce.  

Finding your feet  

The first few sessions can feel a little wobbly, and that is part of the fun. A T-bar can help with balance, non-slip socks add grip, and a floor mat protects hard flooring. Workout apps and online classes can also give you a few ideas when you are not sure where to begin.

Choosing the Right Trampoline

A few simple checks can narrow down the choice.

Available space

Measure the area and leave clear room around the frame. Indoors, check the ceiling height as well.  

How you plan to use it  

Garden trampolines centre on outdoor play and shared family time. Fitness rebounders cover cardio, balance and coordination indoors.  

Who will use it

Check the recommended age before buying. Larger garden models give families more room, and fitness rebounders generally take one person at a time.

Weight capacity

The right weight limit helps you get a good bounce and use the trampoline safely.

Storage

Foldable rebounders slip away after training. Garden trampolines spend most of the year outdoors.

Above-ground, in-ground or rebounder?

Above-ground models have the familiar raised frame. In-ground trampolines sit closer to the lawn. Rebounders take up far less room and belong indoors.  

Trampoline Accessories

The little extras deserve a look too.
Trampolines

Garden Trampoline Accessories  

• Safety nets add a clear barrier around the jumping area and reduce the risk of falling from the mat.
• Weather covers shield the mat and padding from leaves, dirt and rain between uses.
• Ladders and ladder tops help with getting on and off raised trampolines.
• Anchor kits add extra stability in windy weather and secure the frame more firmly to the ground.
• Basketball hoop. Turn the trampoline into a game on either side of the net.

Fitness Trampoline Accessories  

• Stability bars give you something to hold during balance work, rehabilitation sessions or your first few workouts.
• Floor protection mats protect hard flooring and reduce movement under the rebounder.
• Non-slip socks add a little grip and help your feet feel more settled on the mat.
• Replacement bungees or springs restore the feel of the bounce once the original parts begin to wear, where compatible with your model.
• Workout apps. Not sure what to do after the first few bounces? Guided sessions and short classes can help you find a rhythm and try something new.
