When I decided to try rebounding I researched them all. Narrowed the choices to JS or Bellicon. Thought I’d go with Bellicon, until I actually started building one and when I saw the final price I just couldn’t pull the trigger. So, back to JS and chose 350 Pro and I’m so pleased with it. It was really the perfect choice for me. I purchased the handle but it is still, 3 years later, in the box! Love the feel, it is easy on my knees, and it is quiet. Just do it, get what fits your budget, your space, and your body. I am 71, no spring chicken.
Comparison videos are super helpful, thank you so much for reviewing these and posting, especially with input from several people! Just wanted to add a few things I'd found when I was researching rebounders - the BCAN makes a hexagon model that comes with arched legs (amazon reviews indicate it's very stable), and BCANs in general have higher weight limits, I think only them and Bellicon support 350lbs and higher. Leaps and Rebounds has an excellent warranty, they offer lifetime warranties on the mat, frame, and legs and offer a 30-day risk-free jump trial, which is super nice. All that being said, I personally went with the Jumpsport 350 Pro, mainly for one of the reasons you mentioned, the adjustable bungees, and I'm so glad I did, I had peace of mind knowing I'd be able to adjust the tension, and it is wonderful to jump on. I wish it was easier to try out rebounders in real life, but since it's not, videos like these are super appreciated!!!
Thanks so much for your additional information! I have heard good things about the BCAN hexagon model. I know several who like it. As for the weight limit...Jumpsport rebounders can actually hold more weight than they specify, but because of their extensive warranty on the bungees, they limit them to 325lbs. They are SUPER sturdy, but the additional weight could require bungee replacement sooner than the 5 year home use warranty they offer. I also wish more people could try these out in person! It sure would help a lot of people!
I have a Jumpsport Pro 350 and a BCAN. I actually removed 4 bungees from the BCAN to ease up on the tension and it's perfect, feels just like my Jumpsport and feels perfectly safe. I'm 5 feet tall and weigh 160.
I started on a rebounder from Amazon that looks comparable to the BCAN and used it for over a year before i upgraded to the JS 350 Pro. The difference was night and day for me. I was more comfortable doing higher intensity moves on my JS than doing lower intensity moves on my previous one. I thought I wasn't progressing much, but it seems like the rebounder itself was a big factor. In my opinion, the JS is worth every penny and a great investment in my health. It's a quality rebounder that is very sturdy with a smooth bounce.
Awesome review! I started with a cheap spring one from Amazon. I knew immediately that I was in love with rebounding so I did a lot of research and took the dive for a JumpSport. Yes it was an investment but has been worth every penny. One thing I have found with buying exercise equipment of any kind, it does not pay to get the cheaper one. You won't stay consistent. Great video!
I've been rebounding for 8 yrs and have the Bellicon, built in Switzerland, with firm bungees. Yes, it's a little more costly, but quality built, like a tank. I absolutely love it.
Hi Nikki! Thank you so much for including our Rebounder in this video review! We love that you mentioned that whatever rebounder works for you is all that matters because rebounding should be fun and not stressful! In terms of the bounce for our rebounder, the 40-inch has a firmer bounce due to the bungees being stretched out less. We also now sell soft bungees as well so you can calibrate your bounce and mix them in. We'll have to send you a 48 inch and see what you think! We appreciate the feedback and will meet with our team about this, happy bouncing!
Just the right size for a safe and effective workout! I replaced my 36-inch rebounder with the 48-inch model from Leaps and Rebounds. My order arrived promptly, and i have been enjoying the rebounder daily and always working out on it and I am very pleased with the quality of this rebounder! Thank you for helping me decide !
Thanks for this thorough review. As a newbie I am starting out with the L&R 48”. So far so good, but now I have an eye on the Jumpsport. I’ll probably give it a year then consider an upgrade!
So glad I got a JumpSport, especially after watching this video! I ended up finding mine second hand on Marketplace - I still spent more money than I would have on a BCAN but less than brand new. I live in an apartment where the walls and floors might as well be made of tissue paper and with my first spring rebounder I was always self conscious about the noise it made because I didn't want to bother my neighbours. The JumpSport is so quiet I could probably rebound at 1am and not worry about it.
Thank you!! There are definitely some great finds on marketplace! I've actually bought a few myself second hand! Gotta really watch as they snapped up pretty quick, which speaks to their overall quality.
Great video review on these three brands of rebounders. I've recently became interested in rebounders. I chose the L&R and I just received my shipping confirmation. I'm excited to get it. I'm a long time walker/runner. Three years ago we joined a gym. My husband and I completed 36 weeks of training with the owner. I'm 72 and in great health; I want to stay that way. Plus, I am not on any meds I want to stay strong and healthy and a rebounder will be that additional help. Another factor in staying healthy for any one is to eat whole foods. I gave up breads, processed sugars and junk food prior to 2015 and that was the best first step I took.
Thank you so much again for this video. Because of the recommendations,I decided to order a Jumpstart Pro 350 (I had a BCan). . With the help of your “How to change the tension video” I was able to change the tension to medium and just finished my first Earth and Owl workout! What a difference! No noise. No bouncing legs! Interesting…I did feel different muscles were being used (or at least used differently) on this rebounder. Noticed a bit of strain in my knee but think I just need an adjustment period to get used to the different bounce. Overall likes the feel of the bounce much more! Thank you again! And I hope everyone in your household is moving past the Covid!
Greetings! I hope you're loving your new JS! You may want to revisit the form tutorial and just give it a week or two to make the adjustment. It's definitely a different feel. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks so much!
I got the BCAN 48” and loved it but it was much bigger than I was wanting. So I bought the BCAN 40” and noticed right away how much more firm it is than the 48”. So, I decided to take 4 bungees off of (1 in each quarter of the circle) and it then felt very comparable to the 48”, which I like. So, for newbie rebounders on a tight budget, I recommend the BCAN but removing the bungees until it feels good for you. The directions also say you can adjust the tension by removing or adding bungees. I am not sure why that wasn’t tried in the video, but I liked the review. If I find I live rebounding, I may upgrade to the JS in the future.
This was a great video, thank you for your honest review and comparison, and for including the opinions of a few women with different body compositions. I ordered my JS 550f yesterday and can’t wait for it to arrive so I can start your beginner program! 🎉
My first and only rebounder is the 48 inch Leaps and Rebounds. I was on a budget so was limited on the price. I hardly notice the "noise" ( and I am sensitive to noise). Thanks for the reviews.
Hey Nikki, I’ve been rebounding with you for over a year now. I started with a cheap model from Amazon. When I knew I was going to stick with this I upgraded to a JumpSport Pro 370. Totally worth the extra money. Sturdy, high weight rating, extra “petals” covering the bungee cords, and adjustable tension. I love it. It’s also almost silent, which is great on weekends. I rebound early in the morning and this doesn’t wake up the household.
I’m convinced to try this 350 pro. I took out my older rebounder that has metal springs and my upper back is hurting now. I think it’s too hard with not enough give.
In South Africa I bought one from Purple Palm. Also bungee. The bounce is also great so really gentle on back and knees. Really soft, no noise. And it comes with a handle bar, j-legs and very sturdy. My one is 45 inch and has colorful bungees, bright orange, green blue and purple. So it is really playful. The Purple Palm also offer spares for all their models which is really great to keep in mind
Thank you for this! I just started using the Bcan a week ago and it’s felt jarring to my spine after being on it the first day or two. I don’t have any back issues and nothing hurts except when I’m on it. I’m 41 and in good health but was really starting to feel old!😂 Now I see it’s probably just the firmness and I don’t weigh enough to make it give much. Going to try the one commenter’s suggestion to remove bungees and if that doesn’t work upgrade because I really am loving rebounding!
When it comes to choosing a trampoline for fitness or recreational purposes, the quality and design of the product are crucial factors that can significantly impact your experience. Leaps and Rebounds trampolines stand out as a superior choice compared to many other options on the market fr
I think the BCAN 48" is a great choice for heavier folks trying to get in shape - especially for 6-12 months. It is only about $125. I wouldn't suggest getting a Jumpsport for anyone that isn't sure they are sticking with it. Friends that I would suggest rebounding to would balk at spending $350 or more.
Many people don't want to spend that much. I totally understand! I just hope this helps people see what they are getting so they can make the most informed decision possible. I don't blame a person one bit for going the budget friendly route! Thanks for sharing your perspective.
I have the bcan 48” and have no Problems. I weigh 360lbs and it’s a great starter. If I get to 300 which is the weight limit on the Js I might switch but I feel much safer on a 550lb weight limit jump
I had an Urban Rebounder for ages and I really liked it. I finally saved up and got a Bellicon. It’s definitely worth the money, but there are others that are really good.
Due to one of the comments below, I took 4 bungees off my BCAN 48" before doing this video, and it WAS softer on the down bounce. I'm not sure I felt anymore up bounce though. I weigh 140 lb. give or take. Just wanted to put that in.
Thanks, Nikki and ladies for your opinions. I was considering the BCAN model for budgetary concerns, but after this review it is clear to me I need to save up for the JumpSport model. I am currently using a spring model (I picked up for free) and find it is very tense and hard on my knees, so I am looking for a model that is "bouncier" and easier on knees.
I have a Jumpsport, a Bellicon, and just got the Bcan for travel. The Bellicon is my fave out of all, but it's pricey (however, worth every penny.) I am packing up the Bcan for a road trip as I type this! It's not one I'd use daily, but for travel/hotels, it's light weight to haul around. I don't like how the bungees on the Bcan look taped together? That to me means they'll break easily and probably why they send a few extra. Again, I won't be using it daily. Thanks for this review!
Hi Nikki, Thank you for all the help you offer this community. I’d like to start rebounding and am ready but need to decide between the 350 & 350 Pro. I know that the difference in bungee count is 30 vs. 36. I currently weigh about 110 and am 5’2”. I’m preferring low impact wanting to move my Lymphatic System via Health Bounce. I’m guessing that the 350 Pro is firmer than the 350. Which should I get ? And if I went with the 350 Pro could I adjust the bungees to be in the softer range of the 350 ? Thank you for your thoughts🦋😊
At 110, you'd be just fine on the regular 350. I think you'd be very happy with it given your goals. The PRO is nice for people who want to do the choreography routines. Helps with speed.
Hi Nikki, I've had a rebounder (not the same one 😂) for about 40 years. I've always bought the Wal-Mart or sporting goods store model, usually with springs. My current one has elastic bands, and they are losing their tension because the mat sinks more when I'm on it. My husband and I are in our early 60s and want to use rebounding regularly to improve our health. We will probably get a stability bar to ensure safety. I'd love to get the JS 350 Pro but worry we will sink down in it, when we're used to the relatively taut cheaper ones. We will probably mostly be doing the health bounce, nothing fancy. I'm just under 200 lbs, and he is just over 200. I have mild lumbar arthritis. My doctor is on board. I would greatly appreciate your thoughts. Thank you. 💕
Greetings! The jumpsport has adjustable tension so you'd want to set it to the firmest setting when it arrives. It will sink more than what you're used to, but it has a lovely responsiveness. Otherwise the Leaps & Rebounds is a good budget friendly choice. It's fairly firm.
Thank you for taking the time to review 3 rebounders. For financial reasons only, I purchased the 48" Leaps and Rebounds and have used this one for about a year. I will note that on the 48", there is a cover that completely goes over the side of the rebounder, so you don't get the noise that one would get with the 40". I am planning to purchase a Jumpsport for Christmas
I have the 48” Leaps and Rebounds, too, and it’s not noisy - it’s great for us 6’ tall people with lonnnnnng legs; can get a wider stance on the moves where legs are to be apart.
I love my Jumpsport rebounder because I feel good on it. I had another one but had to give it away because because it hurt my knees and back due to being too firm.
I like how much surface space the BCAN has. When you go to get on and off you don't need to reach for the space as someone who is shorter that might be important
I appreciate this video! But the BCAN makes it possible to start rebounding without breaking the bank. I do have to be very careful jumping on it with my old joints, but it's a sturdy rebounder that doesn't give out and I prefer the BCAN with springs bcuz the jump on that one is more responsive and a bit less impacting on the joints than the bungee one. I can keep up pace with your workouts on the BCAN with springs. I really want a Cellercise but can't get that right now.
Thanks for sharing! There are SO MANY bcan models. I went with the one that seems the most popular online to try and reach the most people. Glad you found one that is working for you!
I had one that was bungee and it didn't seem to give the 'up' rebound effect I wanted. I ended up buying a bcan with springs. By far a better bounce. I wish you would have included springs in your reviews too, others may prefer springs as well. Like you said, whatever you'll use is 'THE one!'
Hi! So glad you found the one for you!! Thanks for watching. I may review some spring models at some point, but it costs a lot to buy these just to review them.
How tall are you? If you're on the taller size, the 44 inch Jumpsport is a good choice. You'll likely adapt to either size, but tall people often like a little extra room.
I've had a Leaps and Rebounds for 4 years and have loved it, so great for the serious beginner. But now I'm seriously interested in the Jump Sport! But if we have access to a used Bellicon that is in brand new shape, what to buy?
I just bought a used bellicon from FB marketplace. I have used a jumpsport pro but this bellicon's rebound is even better and it came with bungees that are too stiff for my weight and the rebound is still better. I have ordered new bungees and a new mat which I am still waiting on but I have zero regrets in buying a used bellicon. Right now, if you can find one quick, there's a huge discount on the mats if you buy bungees which is why I'm upgrading mine from the standard mat it came with to a comfort mat. Good luck! Go with the bellicon if you can. I want to add that I have a bumm knee and scoliosis so I have to be careful. The jumpsport pro did not make me hurt or stiff anywhere so it is a good trampoline to but I now see why people say buy a Bellicon and you won't regret it. Even after buying used and then buying new bungees and a mat my 49" stainless steel bellicon with folding legs costed less than the 44" js pro.
Researching rebounders currently, so thank you for video! One question for those that rebound in an apt. Can downstairs neighbors hear the rebounder (for context, I live in a 100 year old Chicago walk up...).
Thank you so much for this information. I’m in the market for another rebounder. I’m currently using bcan looking at another like the jumpsport. Can you review or comment on your personal opinion on the cellerciser? I know the price point is very high.
Hi! I would like to get a rebounder. But I am not sure I understand the difference or benefits of getting a soft or firm rebound. Could you explain? Thanks!!!
Some rebounders have a really soft tension which can be difficult for beginners as it requires a great deal of balance and body control. Some can be so stiff that it's jarring to joints. Getting a quality rebounder can make a big difference in your overall experience. This is why I like the Jumpsport PRO series rebounders. The tension is adjustable and they have the perfect amount of give and spring back. The arched leg design makes them super sturdy as well.
I bought a Bellicon in 2020. It doesn’t bounce as fast as you in your videos. Should I change the bungies for stronger ones? I followed the guide on their website and took the blue ones (I am 55kg and in good shape, doing hiking and rock climbing)
A few of the cheaper models I've tried are pretty jarring and don't have a lot of actual rebound; however, even jumping on the ground can provide lymph benefits.You probably still receive the benefits, it's just not as friendly on your joints/body.
I currently own a Leaps and Rebounds 48” which is too big for my space so I was interested in the Jumpsport or Fitbounce. Do you happen to know the difference between the Jumpsport 350, 350f and 370?
Sure do! The 350 has 30 bungees vs the 36 of the 350Pro, so slightly looser tension. The 350f is the folding model. I have a review video on this one in the getting started playlist on my channel. The 370 has a padded mat..that's the only difference between it and the 350Pro. All the models I like are on my website www.earthandowl.com
🤔 Hmmm⁉️I ordered a jumpsuit folding rebounder from JumpSport a few months ago. It did not arrive put together! My husband assembled it for me. The box also looked like it may have been previously opened. I did not know that it should have arrived pre-assembled!
I have a bigger JumpSport one with the handle bar. I've had it for several years and the tension in the middle is not as firm. I probably need to tighten the bungees I think there might only be two tightness adjustments the one that's on and another not that it has that you can move it to. I'm wondering if the smaller ones have more adjustment ability? I would really to see you review the cellusizer. Thanks
Hi there! The 44 inch Jumpsport comes in several models. The 400 series has less tension options. You can look underneath the rebounder to see how many knots are on each cord. Another option is to get a replacement set of firm cords and adjust them to their tightest setting. That would make a big difference. Here is my tension video: ua-cam.com/video/CYX9d-4iirk/v-deo.html
@EarthOwl thank you I will look at how to adjust the Bungie's, I'm not sure which model I have. I guess I do have the two knots above and two knots below the clip as shown in the video. Are there jump spots with more knots than this? I didn't realize I could adjust one side for medium I thought I was going to have to adjust both sides and then my Bungie's would get worn out a little quicker so I've been jumping on the Lesser tension. How long do the bungees last? Thanks
@EarthOwl there wasn't a sticker but I found a paper that said it's 550fi. I'm wondering how this is different than the pro or if it is the pro and they just started labeling them Pro in the last several years? I do know my skirt is different because it's one loop around and it folds up on one side which I'm not thrilled about I'm also wondering if The netting platform is different? There's a brief picture of the seven configurations on Bungie adjustments but some of them are confusing, so I'm wondering your thoughts on all these configurations would uneven tightening of some of them wear it out quicker? Or do they make much difference between the adjustments? can you do a video on all seven configurations and your thoughts on it? Thanks
@@Sara-od2li I would probably just adjust it to its firmest setting. That’s all knots below the clip. See how you feel about the additional firmness. There is a video in my “getting started” playlist that shows you how to adjust.
I bought a 48" L&R from Amazon a year ago. I like it, but it is squeaky. I had a spring rebounder before (Needak) for 10 years, and liked it, but didn't like grease and black marks if you happen to touch the springs on the back. I thought the bungee would be quiet...but I don't like the squeakiness. Is Jumpsport squeaky?
Thank you for this! Its so helpful! I just started rebounding a month ago with the bcan and had no idea it wasn't suppose to be that tense.. no wonder my knees hurt! 😂 Time to start saving for the JS!
Hi! The mechanism for connecting the bungees to the rebounder is different from brand to brand, so I don't think that would work. Bellicon is a great rebounder!
I just bought a Bcan and wish I would have bought one that wasn't so stiff. That you can bounce better. Why does the middle of my back hurt some when I start bouncing?
Hi there! Are you doing any warm up or cool down stretching? That might help. Have you watched the form tutorial? Sometimes improper form can lead to back pain while rebounding.
You'd have to look on their websites to be sure, but the BCAN is 450lbs, Jumpsport 325lbs, and I'm not sure about Leaps and Rebounds. Jumpsport can hold much more than 325, but they only guarantee their warranty at a certain weight rating. Those over the weight limit may need to replace bungees sooner.
Well I think I need a new one I have a BCan and haven’t really done a workout because of a knee injury Went on the BCAN today and realized I hurt again after 3 minutes
I know many people like it, but we just found it to be quite firm without as much bounce back. I have a couple of videos that are helpful for people with knee issues. Stick to two foot bounces - stay away from jogging unless it's the tiptoe jog.
How can this be a non-bias review, if you are a Jumpstart Retailer? And how can the other three women be impartial if they know you are a Jumpstart Retailer? Just sayin🤦♀🤷♀
@@msladydi123 While I understand what you’re saying, this was our honest feedback regarding all three. I actively recommend around 6 brands including two of the rebounders included in this review. As I said multiple times in the video, the best rebounder is the one you’ll use. I am allowed to have an opinion and share that opinion with others. I get offers on a daily basis to endorse products. If I did this to try and make a sale, you’d see a heck of a lot more reviews on my channel. I am a person of integrity and simply would not do that to my community. The reason I endorse Jumpsport is because I’ve tried many and I believe the PRO series works best for most body types, ages and fitness abilities. You’ll notice I only sell the particular models I endorse. If I were in it for the money, I’d be offering the entire line.
@@EarthOwl Was it just a coincidence that all 3 of your friends all chose the same one you endorse (Reminds me of an Informercials) Wow what are the chances? Again, you said a whole of 'word salad' here, but still did not answer the question because you are unable to explain your inability to give a 100% (Integrity) unbiased opinion.
When I decided to try rebounding I researched them all. Narrowed the choices to JS or Bellicon. Thought I’d go with Bellicon, until I actually started building one and when I saw the final price I just couldn’t pull the trigger. So, back to JS and chose 350 Pro and I’m so pleased with it.

Thanks so much! This will help others make an informed choice!
Thanks for having a plus-size student with knee and foot issues review them! Super helpful.
Happy to help! Thanks for watching!
Does anyone know how much weight this certain rebounder can withstand? 350 pro?
Comparison videos are super helpful, thank you so much for reviewing these and posting, especially with input from several people!

Awesome, thanks for sharing!
I just bought a BCAN a few weeks ago. I think I will remove 4 of bungees. I noticed it was super firm.
@@chriskelly7990 It definitely helped.
great idea- I may try this too!
What a great idea. Thx. I have a Becan.

Awesome review! I started with a cheap spring one from Amazon. I knew immediately that I was in love with rebounding so I did a lot of research and took the dive for a JumpSport. Yes it was an investment but has been worth every penny. One thing I have found with buying exercise equipment of any kind, it does not pay to get the cheaper one. You won't stay consistent. Great video!
Thanks so much!! Agree 100% Worth the cost!
I've been rebounding for 8 yrs and have the Bellicon, built in Switzerland, with firm bungees. Yes, it's a little more costly, but quality built, like a tank. I absolutely love it.
Bellicon is great! Definitely something you can keep and use for life!
ALOT more expensive- quality is top notch.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for this thorough review. As a newbie I am starting out with the L&R 48”. So far so good, but now I have an eye on the Jumpsport. I’ll probably give it a year then consider an upgrade!
I like the L&R...good budget friendly rebounder! Thanks for watching!
So glad I got a JumpSport, especially after watching this video! I ended up finding mine second hand on Marketplace - I still spent more money than I would have on a BCAN but less than brand new. I live in an apartment where the walls and floors might as well be made of tissue paper and with my first spring rebounder I was always self conscious about the noise it made because I didn't want to bother my neighbours. The JumpSport is so quiet I could probably rebound at 1am and not worry about it.

Great video review on these three brands of rebounders. I've recently became interested in rebounders. I chose the L&R and I just received my shipping confirmation. I'm excited to get it. I'm a long time walker/runner. Three years ago we joined a gym. My husband and I completed 36 weeks of training with the owner. I'm 72 and in great health; I want to stay that way. Plus, I am not on any meds I want to stay strong and healthy and a rebounder will be that additional help. Another factor in staying healthy for any one is to eat whole foods. I gave up breads, processed sugars and junk food prior to 2015 and that was the best first step I took.
That's fantastic!! Enjoy your new rebounder!!

Fantastic!
This was super helpful! Thank you! I have a BCan but am now thinking about changing thanks to the reviews!
Glad it was helpful!
The Leaps and Rebounds trampoline is great easily my favorite on the market.
It's on my recommended list as well. Thanks!
I got the BCAN 48” and loved it but it was much bigger than I was wanting. So I bought the BCAN 40” and noticed right away how much more firm it is than the 48”. So, I decided to take 4 bungees off of (1 in each quarter of the circle) and it then felt very comparable to the 48”, which I like.
So, for newbie rebounders on a tight budget, I recommend the BCAN but removing the bungees until it feels good for you.
The directions also say you can adjust the tension by removing or adding bungees. I am not sure why that wasn’t tried in the video, but I liked the review. If I find I live rebounding, I may upgrade to the JS in the future.
Thanks!
This was a great video, thank you for your honest review and comparison, and for including the opinions of a few women with different body compositions. I ordered my JS 550f yesterday and can’t wait for it to arrive so I can start your beginner program! 🎉
Woohoo!! You'll love your new rebounder. Can't wait for you to join us for some workouts!
@@EarthOwl meeee toooooo!!💗 I watched your Sunday challenge today in the FB group and it looks like so much fun 🤩
@@FreshEclecticism Yes! So fun!
the leaps and rebounds trampoline is my favorite by far
So glad you found something you love!
I wish I would have seen this before I bought mine😬 thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching the review. It's so hard to know what to buy with SO MANY on the market. Hope this helps people.
Excellent study 👍… thank you Nikki and crew for your time and input.
Thanks for watching!
A fantastic explanation Nikki, so appreciate your honesty!
Thanks so much!
My first and only rebounder is the 48 inch Leaps and Rebounds. I was on a budget so was limited on the price. I hardly notice the "noise" ( and I am sensitive to noise). Thanks for the reviews.
Awesome! Glad you love it!
Hey Nikki, I’ve been rebounding with you for over a year now. I started with a cheap model from Amazon. When I knew I was going to stick with this I upgraded to a JumpSport Pro 370. Totally worth the extra money. Sturdy, high weight rating, extra “petals” covering the bungee cords, and adjustable tension. I love it. It’s also almost silent, which is great on weekends. I rebound early in the morning and this doesn’t wake up the household.
Yes!! Great rebounder! Wish everyone had the opportunity to try before buying. I think people would be surprised in the differences between models.
@@EarthOwl I agrée!!! Some of them do not fold for storage. A little inconvenient but would love to have a silent one just the same :)
I’m convinced to try this 350 pro. I took out my older rebounder that has metal springs and my upper back is hurting now. I think it’s too hard with not enough give.
In South Africa I bought one from Purple Palm. Also bungee. The bounce is also great so really gentle on back and knees. Really soft, no noise. And it comes with a handle bar, j-legs and very sturdy. My one is 45 inch and has colorful bungees, bright orange, green blue and purple. So it is really playful. The Purple Palm also offer spares for all their models which is really great to keep in mind
Thanks for this info!
Thank you for this! I just started using the Bcan a week ago and it’s felt jarring to my spine after being on it the first day or two. I don’t have any back issues and nothing hurts except when I’m on it. I’m 41 and in good health but was really starting to feel old!😂 Now I see it’s probably just the firmness and I don’t weigh enough to make it give much. Going to try the one commenter’s suggestion to remove bungees and if that doesn’t work upgrade because I really am loving rebounding!
Let me know how it works for you! Thanks for checking out this review. Glad the info was helpful.
When it comes to choosing a trampoline for fitness or recreational purposes, the quality and design of the product are crucial factors that can significantly impact your experience. Leaps and Rebounds trampolines stand out as a superior choice compared to many other options on the market fr
Thanks!
I couldn't agree more.
Same bought my first One from the company 🙏 ❤❤❤😊
I think the BCAN 48" is a great choice for heavier folks trying to get in shape - especially for 6-12 months. It is only about $125. I wouldn't suggest getting a Jumpsport for anyone that isn't sure they are sticking with it. Friends that I would suggest rebounding to would balk at spending $350 or more.
Many people don't want to spend that much. I totally understand! I just hope this helps people see what they are getting so they can make the most informed decision possible. I don't blame a person one bit for going the budget friendly route! Thanks for sharing your perspective.
I have the bcan 48” and have no
Problems. I weigh 360lbs and it’s a great starter. If I get to 300 which is the weight limit on the Js I might switch but I feel much safer on a 550lb weight limit jump
@@LeavingGrace Absolutely! Sounds like the right one for you at this point in time. Best wishes on your rebounding journey!
@@LeavingGracedo you have the regular 48” round Bcan or the hexagon
arched leg version?
@@debramarsh3907 regular 48
Great video. I’m looking at rebounders to decide what to buy
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
I had an Urban Rebounder for ages and I really liked it. I finally saved up and got a Bellicon. It’s definitely worth the money, but there are others that are really good.
Thanks for sharing!
Due to one of the comments below, I took 4 bungees off my BCAN 48" before doing this video, and it WAS softer on the down bounce. I'm not sure I felt anymore up bounce though. I weigh 140 lb. give or take. Just wanted to put that in.
Thanks!
Really good review. I've made my mind up. I'll be ordering from your website. Thanks for the great info.
Thanks so much!!
Thank you for your wonderful and true review! hope everyone can choose the right product according to the actual situation😊😊
This is such a great video. I have the BCAN, but I’m going to get a Jump Sport after watching. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks, Nikki and ladies for your opinions. I was considering the BCAN model for budgetary concerns, but after this review it is clear to me I need to save up for the JumpSport model. I am currently using a spring model (I picked up for free) and find it is very tense and hard on my knees, so I am looking for a model that is "bouncier" and easier on knees.
Glad this was helpful!
I have a Jumpsport, a Bellicon, and just got the Bcan for travel. The Bellicon is my fave out of all, but it's pricey (however, worth every penny.) I am packing up the Bcan for a road trip as I type this! It's not one I'd use daily, but for travel/hotels, it's light weight to haul around. I don't like how the bungees on the Bcan look taped together? That to me means they'll break easily and probably why they send a few extra. Again, I won't be using it daily. Thanks for this review!
Hey that works! Whatever is easiest and keeps you bouncing while traveling!
Hi Nikki,
Thank you for all the help you offer this community. I’d like to start rebounding and am ready but need to decide between the 350 & 350 Pro. I know that the difference in bungee count is 30 vs. 36. I currently weigh about 110 and am 5’2”. I’m preferring low impact wanting to move my Lymphatic System via Health Bounce. I’m guessing that the 350 Pro is firmer than the 350. Which should I get ? And if I went with the 350 Pro could I adjust the bungees to be in the softer range of the 350 ? Thank you for your thoughts🦋😊
At 110, you'd be just fine on the regular 350. I think you'd be very happy with it given your goals. The PRO is nice for people who want to do the choreography routines. Helps with speed.
Hi Nikki,
I've had a rebounder (not the same one 😂) for about 40 years. I've always bought the Wal-Mart or sporting goods store model, usually with springs. My current one has elastic bands, and they are losing their tension because the mat sinks more when I'm on it.
My husband and I are in our early 60s and want to use rebounding regularly to improve our health. We will probably get a stability bar to ensure safety. I'd love to get the JS 350 Pro but worry we will sink down in it, when we're used to the relatively taut cheaper ones. We will probably mostly be doing the health bounce, nothing fancy. I'm just under 200 lbs, and he is just over 200. I have mild lumbar arthritis. My doctor is on board. I would greatly appreciate your thoughts. Thank you. 💕
Greetings! The jumpsport has adjustable tension so you'd want to set it to the firmest setting when it arrives. It will sink more than what you're used to, but it has a lovely responsiveness. Otherwise the Leaps & Rebounds is a good budget friendly choice. It's fairly firm.
@@EarthOwl thank you for your time!
Thank you for taking the time to review 3 rebounders. For financial reasons only, I purchased the 48" Leaps and Rebounds and have used this one for about a year. I will note that on the 48", there is a cover that completely goes over the side of the rebounder, so you don't get the noise that one would get with the 40". I am planning to purchase a Jumpsport for Christmas
Hi and thanks for sharing that. Definitely good to know!
I have the 48” Leaps and Rebounds, too, and it’s not noisy - it’s great for us 6’ tall people with lonnnnnng legs; can get a wider stance on the moves where legs are to be apart.
I love my Jumpsport rebounder because I feel good on it. I had another one but had to give it away because because it hurt my knees and back due to being too firm.
Thanks! This is a pretty common occurrence. The firm ones aren't as low impact.
I like how much surface space the BCAN has. When you go to get on and off you don't need to reach for the space as someone who is shorter that might be important
I appreciate this video!
But the BCAN makes it possible to start rebounding without breaking the bank. I do have to be very careful jumping on it with my old joints, but it's a sturdy rebounder that doesn't give out and I prefer the BCAN with springs bcuz the jump on that one is more responsive and a bit less impacting on the joints than the bungee one. I can keep up pace with your workouts on the BCAN with springs.
I really want a Cellercise but can't get that right now.
Thanks for sharing! There are SO MANY bcan models. I went with the one that seems the most popular online to try and reach the most people. Glad you found one that is working for you!
I had one that was bungee and it didn't seem to give the 'up' rebound effect I wanted. I ended up buying a bcan with springs. By far a better bounce. I wish you would have included springs in your reviews too, others may prefer springs as well. Like you said, whatever you'll use is 'THE one!'
I tried one with springs, no way can it compare with the bungee style, IMO.
Hi! So glad you found the one for you!! Thanks for watching. I may review some spring models at some point, but it costs a lot to buy these just to review them.
My Bellicon came mostly assembled. No attaching the bungees.
Great!!
Very good review🧐now I know which one I want….jumpsport… now what size is my next question
How tall are you? If you're on the taller size, the 44 inch Jumpsport is a good choice. You'll likely adapt to either size, but tall people often like a little extra room.
@@EarthOwl 5ft 3
@@ladydi12450 I’m 5’2. You’d be fine on the 350Pro unless you just prefer a bigger jump space.
I've had a Leaps and Rebounds for 4 years and have loved it, so great for the serious beginner. But now I'm seriously interested in the Jump Sport! But if we have access to a used Bellicon that is in brand new shape, what to buy?
Awesome! Bellicon is a great rebounder too. Just make sure the bungee strength is right for you.
I just bought a used bellicon from FB marketplace. I have used a jumpsport pro but this bellicon's rebound is even better and it came with bungees that are too stiff for my weight and the rebound is still better. I have ordered new bungees and a new mat which I am still waiting on but I have zero regrets in buying a used bellicon. Right now, if you can find one quick, there's a huge discount on the mats if you buy bungees which is why I'm upgrading mine from the standard mat it came with to a comfort mat. Good luck! Go with the bellicon if you can. I want to add that I have a bumm knee and scoliosis so I have to be careful. The jumpsport pro did not make me hurt or stiff anywhere so it is a good trampoline to but I now see why people say buy a Bellicon and you won't regret it. Even after buying used and then buying new bungees and a mat my 49" stainless steel bellicon with folding legs costed less than the 44" js pro.
Researching rebounders currently, so thank you for video! One question for those that rebound in an apt. Can downstairs neighbors hear the rebounder (for context, I live in a 100 year old Chicago walk up...).
I think it really depends on the building. Some say no and others say yes.
Thank you so much for this information. I’m in the market for another rebounder. I’m currently using bcan looking at another like the jumpsport.
Can you review or comment on your personal opinion on the cellerciser? I know the price point is very high.
I don't have a Cellerciser, but would definitely like to do a comparison in the near future!
Ty this was very helpful 😀
Glad it helped!
Hi! I would like to get a rebounder. But I am not sure I understand the difference or benefits of getting a soft or firm rebound. Could you explain? Thanks!!!
Some rebounders have a really soft tension which can be difficult for beginners as it requires a great deal of balance and body control. Some can be so stiff that it's jarring to joints. Getting a quality rebounder can make a big difference in your overall experience. This is why I like the Jumpsport PRO series rebounders. The tension is adjustable and they have the perfect amount of give and spring back. The arched leg design makes them super sturdy as well.
I bought a Bellicon in 2020. It doesn’t bounce as fast as you in your videos. Should I change the bungies for stronger ones? I followed the guide on their website and took the blue ones (I am 55kg and in good shape, doing hiking and rock climbing)
Hi there! Many people find that they like the bungees a step stronger than what the guide suggests, especially for keeping up with routines.
Hahaha! I was just on the FB thread discussing this topic
Hope this helps!
Not knowing whether I would like rebounding, I bought a new BCAN for a very affordable $90. If I stick with it, then I’ll upgrade.
Sounds like a good plan! Good luck with the new rebounder!
I’m not sure if I need a handle bar? What’s the use of a handlebar other than if we need it for balance?
Here you can see a few uses of the handlebar besides just balance: ua-cam.com/play/PLLAFfYE-X47H_cLOndjaAeX7nAFz9WmCs.html
I have one two fit and I love it, but do you get the same benefits from the really expensive ones?
A few of the cheaper models I've tried are pretty jarring and don't have a lot of actual rebound; however, even jumping on the ground can provide lymph benefits.You probably still receive the benefits, it's just not as friendly on your joints/body.
I bought the bcan and your right its firm and hurts my body! Can I safely remove a few bungees! Thank you!
I couldn't say for sure. You might check with the company. I have heard of others doing that, but not sure what the company recommends.
I currently own a Leaps and Rebounds 48” which is too big for my space so I was interested in the Jumpsport or Fitbounce. Do you happen to know the difference between the Jumpsport 350, 350f and 370?
Sure do! The 350 has 30 bungees vs the 36 of the 350Pro, so slightly looser tension. The 350f is the folding model. I have a review video on this one in the getting started playlist on my channel. The 370 has a padded mat..that's the only difference between it and the 350Pro. All the models I like are on my website www.earthandowl.com
@@EarthOwlThank you so much!
🤔 Hmmm⁉️I ordered a jumpsuit folding rebounder from JumpSport a few months ago. It did not arrive put together! My husband assembled it for me. The box also looked like it may have been previously opened.
I did not know that it should have arrived pre-assembled!
The folding models do not come assembled. Just the regular non-folding rebounders.
The folding ones come only partially assembled but the others have all the bungees attached when you get them.
What do you think about Cellercizer??
That one is next on my list to review!
@@EarthOwl great. I just ordered it the other day. I like that it folds twice for travelling. Looking forward to your review :))
I have a bigger JumpSport one with the handle bar. I've had it for several years and the tension in the middle is not as firm. I probably need to tighten the bungees I think there might only be two tightness adjustments the one that's on and another not that it has that you can move it to. I'm wondering if the smaller ones have more adjustment ability? I would really to see you review the cellusizer. Thanks
Hi there! The 44 inch Jumpsport comes in several models. The 400 series has less tension options. You can look underneath the rebounder to see how many knots are on each cord. Another option is to get a replacement set of firm cords and adjust them to their tightest setting. That would make a big difference. Here is my tension video: ua-cam.com/video/CYX9d-4iirk/v-deo.html
@EarthOwl thank you I will look at how to adjust the Bungie's, I'm not sure which model I have. I guess I do have the two knots above and two knots below the clip as shown in the video. Are there jump spots with more knots than this? I didn't realize I could adjust one side for medium I thought I was going to have to adjust both sides and then my Bungie's would get worn out a little quicker so I've been jumping on the Lesser tension. How long do the bungees last? Thanks
@@Sara-od2li It should tell the model number on the sticker on one of the legs.
@EarthOwl there wasn't a sticker but I found a paper that said it's 550fi. I'm wondering how this is different than the pro or if it is the pro and they just started labeling them Pro in the last several years? I do know my skirt is different because it's one loop around and it folds up on one side which I'm not thrilled about I'm also wondering if The netting platform is different? There's a brief picture of the seven configurations on Bungie adjustments but some of them are confusing, so I'm wondering your thoughts on all these configurations would uneven tightening of some of them wear it out quicker? Or do they make much difference between the adjustments? can you do a video on all seven configurations and your thoughts on it? Thanks
@@Sara-od2li I would probably just adjust it to its firmest setting. That’s all knots below the clip. See how you feel about the additional firmness. There is a video in my “getting started” playlist that shows you how to adjust.
I bought a 48" L&R from Amazon a year ago. I like it, but it is squeaky. I had a spring rebounder before (Needak) for 10 years, and liked it, but didn't like grease and black marks if you happen to touch the springs on the back. I thought the bungee would be quiet...but I don't like the squeakiness. Is Jumpsport squeaky?
The Jumpsport 350Pro is very quiet.
@@EarthOwl thank you!
Thank for posting your opinion... like noses, everyone has one 😅
Thank you for this! Its so helpful! I just started rebounding a month ago with the bcan and had no idea it wasn't suppose to be that tense.. no wonder my knees hurt! 😂 Time to start saving for the JS!
Glad it was helpful! Yes, the really firm rebounders aren't as low impact. Let me know if you have any questions when you decide to upgrade.
I have a Bellicon but I I wonder if someone bought a bcan and replaced the bungees with Bellicon or jumsport if it would be a good mid-price option.
Hi! The mechanism for connecting the bungees to the rebounder is different from brand to brand, so I don't think that would work. Bellicon is a great rebounder!
I just bought a Bcan and wish I would have bought one that wasn't so stiff. That you can bounce better. Why does the middle of my back hurt some when I start bouncing?
Hi there! Are you doing any warm up or cool down stretching? That might help. Have you watched the form tutorial? Sometimes improper form can lead to back pain while rebounding.
What are the difference in the jumpsport series I saw one 120 jumpsport and 220 series what’s the difference
Weight limit, number of bungees and tension are the main differences. I really only recommend the PRO series models. 350Pro or 550Pro.
I have a BodyFit by Sports Authority and need to have some repair or replace. No luck. It's a 48" and awesome. Anybody know a good place for repair?
What is the weight limit on these trampolines😊
You'd have to look on their websites to be sure, but the BCAN is 450lbs, Jumpsport 325lbs, and I'm not sure about Leaps and Rebounds. Jumpsport can hold much more than 325, but they only guarantee their warranty at a certain weight rating. Those over the weight limit may need to replace bungees sooner.
BCAN is hell on the body, and God help you if you don't weigh 120 pounds. I spent more time tightening the legs than using the rebounder. Never again.
Thanks!
Well I think I need a new one I have a BCan and haven’t really done a workout because of a knee injury Went on the BCAN today and realized I hurt again after 3 minutes
I know many people like it, but we just found it to be quite firm without as much bounce back. I have a couple of videos that are helpful for people with knee issues. Stick to two foot bounces - stay away from jogging unless it's the tiptoe jog.
I’m gutted they don’t ship to New Zealand from Jumpsport😢
@@colettebrown2961 They do! Through the Australian website 🙂

How can this be a non-bias review, if you are a Jumpstart Retailer? And how can the other three women be impartial if they know you are a Jumpstart Retailer? Just sayin🤦♀🤷♀
@@msladydi123 While I understand what you’re saying, this was our honest feedback regarding all three. I actively recommend around 6 brands including two of the rebounders included in this review. As I said multiple times in the video, the best rebounder is the one you’ll use. I am allowed to have an opinion and share that opinion with others. I get offers on a daily basis to endorse products. If I did this to try and make a sale, you’d see a heck of a lot more reviews on my channel. I am a person of integrity and simply would not do that to my community. The reason I endorse Jumpsport is because I’ve tried many and I believe the PRO series works best for most body types, ages and fitness abilities. You’ll notice I only sell the particular models I endorse. If I were in it for the money, I’d be offering the entire line.
@@EarthOwl Was it just a coincidence that all 3 of your friends all chose the same one you endorse (Reminds me of an Informercials) Wow what are the chances?
