Dear Sylvia, The Bellicon Rebounder has just arrived!  Excellent service :)  We are so impressed, not only with the service, but also with the product.  We have a Needak rebounder which my husband has been using, and the difference between the two units is vast. The Bellicon feels like you are bouncing on air!  No jolting, just smoothness and lightness.  Now I can see what all of the fuss is about! Many thanks again for all of your help.  I am off to bounce!

The Bellicon Rebounder arrived yesterday in perfect condition. It truely is the "ultimate" ... so smooth, even and quiet. I love it! Thanks for the great customer service. Sincerely Mary Jo.

Hi Sylvia, I love this  rebounder! It's quiet, spacious, colorful and has a great bounce! There is this pulsing, playful, invigorating feeling I get from it. I instinctively could tell that my body and mind likes this, and that it is good for me.  I highly recommend the Bellicon 44" ultimate rebounder. Thank you for the great customer service.

I had used an American rebounder for the last two years. It had become noisy and squeaking and finally three of the springs snapped. Going from this unit to the bellicon ULTIMATE rebounder was like switching cars from a VW Bug to a 12 cylinder Bugatti B110 sport car. When you said "after using the ULTIMATE, you won't want to go back to other rebounders" - well it was an understatement. It is clearly the BEST made.

I was trained as a Tool and Die maker and Gun Smith and I can state that the workmanship is SUPER. The ULTIMATE does, what no other rebounder does: It just plain puts the FUN back into rebounding. Best investment anyone can make for their health. Thanks for getting these "Instruments" into the US market.

Peter Drexler, Rosemont, PA (2007/03)

Of the dozen or so types of rebounders that I have tried, from the very worst to the very best, the Bellicon Ultimate rebounder is the very best. Once you get on one of these, you'll probably never want to go back to a spring-based rebounder. If you can afford it, and want to try a type of exercise that can easily morph into an integral practice, then this is what you want to go for.

Jordan Gruber, CEO of enlightenment.com (2005/10)

A few years ago, I almost gave up on rebounding, due to the disappointing workout I got on a highly touted spring suspension rebounder. Fortunately, I kept looking and discovered the Bellicon. The bungee cord bounce is super smooth and so quiet. It is such a pleasant change from the noisy springs and uneven bounce on my other rebounder. I have been thrilled with the relief from muscle aches and arthritic pain that a workout on the Bellicon provides. I feel so fortunate that I was able to speak to you and learn about the Bellicon. I'm convinced that it is among the finest fitness products available. Best personal regards,

The difference between my new Bellicon Ultimate Mini and the cheap spring rebounder it replaces is dramatic. Gone are the creaks, squeaks, harsh bounce and shoddy construction of the spring rebounder. Instead I now enjoy the luxurious plush silent bounce, along with the precision construction and elegant design of the Bellicon bungee. Rebounding is a great exercise, made that much greater by Bellicon. Get one, and you're Bound to find Peace of Mind.

Andy LaVerne, Jazz Pianist, NY -- www.andylaverne.com (2008/01)

I received my beautiful Bellicon rebounder yesterday. I love it!!! It is so very different from my previous rebounder. I truly cannot believe the difference. I am so glad I made this choice.

Lisa Griffin, Preston, MS  (2007/06)

The quality of my Bellicon Rebounder is unlike any other I have ever seen. It is just perfect. I like it a lot. I am glad that my friend recommended it to me. Thank you, Sylvia, for bringing it to the US.

Harpreet Sandhu, San Jose CA (2006/08)

I am extremely pleased with my Bellicon rebounder. The quality is unsurpassed, and it is a joy to use: quiet, stable, and supportive. I experience immediate enhanced well being on all levels, which I experience to be culmulative. Rebounding on the Bellicon is now an integral part of my health program.

Liz Seim, Shasta Supplements, Shasta, CA (2006/04)

Very few individuals introduce a product of innovative technology that is intrinsically useful to so many. Your market demand should be infinite over time, and you should be proud of being the United States distributer of a truly valuable product. Thanks for contributing to this country's available exercise and physical therapy technology. I wish you the greatest success and happiness.

Mark S. Bocca Raton, FL  (6/2008)

 

I am extremely happy with this rebounder and I thank you for selling it to me.  Thank you.

Kim T. Montreal, Canada (06/2008)

I am really enjoying the Dynamic Rebounder! What a pleasure to bounce on such a quiet rebounder. I think it greatly exceeds the performance of the Cellerciser on all levels but especially in how quiet it is.  Ben M., Atlanta GA (2008/03)

Sylvia: The new Bellicon is just great. It is such a better bounce than my Cellerciser!!!! Thanks for getting it to me safely. Sincerely,

Janet K., Jersey City, NJ (2008/01)

 

Comparison with ReboundAir quater-fold

 

Thank you, Sylvia,  for providing a new level of exercise diversity into my home!  I absolutely "LOVE" my Bellicon rebounder!  What an experience! 

I am 30 years young, in excellent shape, and have been using a ReboundAir quarter-fold for around a year, when I discovered the Bellicon.  As I approached this new device I was shocked and amazed at the level of difference between these two rebounders.  The Bellicon is simply amazing, with a perfect soft bounce and a silent bungee action, as opposed to the ReboundAir's completely noisy and rough experience. Bottom line is: THERE IS NO COMPARISON! Bellicon is the future of low impact exercise.

I use my Bellicon Rebounder for 30 minutes every other day, and must say, for toning it rocks the house.  What I love the most is when you get off of it and look in the mirror, I can literally see the difference that the Bellicon rebounder has provided for my body.  And of course, I feel the tone! It's also wonderful to know that I am toning places I can't even see, such as every single cell in my body!

The Bellicon rebounders are truly miracle devices, and they take exercise to a whole new level!

So I hope this review will be helpful for anyone out there thinking about buying a  rebounder. Do yourself a favor and start bouncing today, and feel the vibration and stimulation of every single cell in your body! Again, Sylvia, thank you for this wonderful experience you have brought to me!

Comparison with Cellerciser

 

Being a rebounding enthusiast, I have owned and used most of the major American brands of rebounders. All of them spring based, the last one, a Cellerciser, was a notch better than the rest of the competitors. However, when I first stepped on a Bellicon Ultimate, I knew I was dealing with a piece of equipment that was several classes above all the others I used before.

I bought it right then and there. Yes, it is very expensive, but what a pleasure! Gone is the incessant screetching of steel springs and you experience the joy of weightlessness in a near silence and you do not want to quit.

I sold my Cellerziser on the Craigslist the following day. Why keep an inferior old VW when you have a Rolls Royce in your garage? The funny thing is, now I have to fight my kids for time on the Bellicon, while before they were indifferent to my spring rebounders. You cannot fool them!

Juri Minarik, Oakland CA (2007/08)

I am really enjoying the Dynamic Rebounder! What a pleasure to bounce on such a quiet rebounder. I think it greatly exceeds the performance of the Cellerciser on all levels but especially in how quiet it is.  Ben M., Atlanta GA (2008/03)

Hi Sylvia, I am enjoying the Bellicon rebounder very much - it is amazing how much better it is than the Cellerciser I was using! Thank you again for your help!

Liz D. IL (07/2008)

Comparison with Needak

 

I love the Ultimate. It's quiet, smooth, substantial/stable feeling and clearly gives a better workout than the spring Needak that I have. When went from the Ultimate to the Needak, it was like I was on a harsh piece of junk. There is a considerable difference in impact. I can jog just fine on the Ultimate, the only difference being that I have to work harder for it than on the Needak; the Ultimate is a closer approximation to real jogging in form and effort in my opinion; I always found spring based rebounders to be unnatural for jogging. Then there's the sensation. The Ultimate being a natural feel like what I experience in real life and the Needak feeling controlled/harsh/mechnistic like a "machine". When getting off of the Ultimate it's obvious that I've had a more holistic/3D and extensive workout including to the balance and, it feels like, to the lymphatic system.

I cannot get enough of the Bungee band Bellicon rebounder! It has been only a couple of weeks since I got it and my body already craves rebounding. It is addictive. I used to find excuses to not exercise; now I am looking for excuses to go jump on my rebounder! I wanted a fun exercise and I got that and so much more. It is an absolute joy to rebound on the Bellicon Ultimate. I guess that is what jumping on a cloud is like. I realized I am not just exercising on my bungee rebounder, I am thriving! I cannot thank you enough, Sylvia, for bringing the Bellicon rebounders to the US. You definitely  got my Qi dancing in delight throughout my whole body!

I was introduced to QiBounding by Sylvia several years ago. I love it. I am a post-polio patient and with my disabilities I am limited as to what activities I can participate in. When I purchased a Bellicon Rebounder I also purchased the support bar and it opened a new world to me. Together with my "Bouncee" and a CD with some of my favorite tunes, I am able to bounce 20 to 30 minutes in one exercise session, and what a difference it makes.

My legs that are often tight and aching benefit by a stretching that occurs to the back of my legs and helps me tremendously. My joints, especially my knees, feel so much better without the usual pain and grinding. My mood.....well the "Bouncee" is a wonder drug. When I spend my 20 to 30 minutes on the "Bouncee" three to four times per week, it seems to activate my endorphins and I feel so much happier and alive. I often suffer from fatigue and when I am faithful with my "Bouncee", I have an increase in energy. One other thing I have noted is my appetite seems to be less when I do a regular workout on the "Bouncee". I would recommend this type of exercise to everyone. If I can do it being disabled....anyone can do it. It's both fun and good for me."

Jacqueline Wright, Naples FL (2006/11)

For me, QiBounding is listening to my body's rhythm as well as connecting to my spirituality. I use QiBounding to escape from drama and enjoy being in the NOW with my own inner child.

Joanna Jones, Naples FL (2006/02)

I love the Bellicon rebounder!! It is so much fun and it doesn't feel like work at all (like a treadmill). I can feel my body buzzing after I use it... I'm addidcted. Thank you so much!

Nora, East Dennis, MA (2007/10)

I loooooooooooooove the Bellicon Bungee rebounder. Do it pretty much every single day. My 9 year old daughter also absolutely loves rebounding. She does it daily, usually a few times throughout the day. In 4 weeks she released 10 pounds going from 104 to 94 pounds! Her 'little girl belly' has gone away and she's feeling great about herself!

Aleesha S, Canada (07/2008)

I love my rebounder.   Great product!!  Even my 9 month old granddaughter loves it.

Terri R. Upland, CA (06/2008)

I LOVE my rebounder, as does our 3 year old grand-daughter!

Kathleen B. Oakland, CA  (06/2008)

Our Bellicon rebounder has been a huge hit and help for our six year old's strength.  He loves it, spends a lot of time bouncing while watching TV, and has greatly improved his balance and core strength.   Thanks again.

Walter C. Newburyport, MA  (06/2008)

Sylvia - I have already told you about the amazing results I have been receiving concerning my bad knees and the Ultimate bungee and now I would like to share how my body has changed from rebounding. I have been doing daily rebounding sessions lasting anywhere from 20 minutes to 1 hour now for about 6 weeks.  I feel like I've been watching time-lapse photography because the changes that I have been experiencing have happened so quickly.  I need to let you know that the only exercise I get is rebounding.  Prior to starting to rebound the only thing I did was regular walking outside.  My whole upper body has gotten significantly bigger - to the point where my undershirts have gotten uncomfortable and I had to buy the next size up.  I do use 3-lb hand weights quite a bit while rebounding - but that's the only upper body exercise I do. Also, my legs have slimmed down noticeably - my butt has gotten much tighter and smaller and my leg muscles have become more defined - especially the calf muscles.

And last, but certainly not least, my abdominals have gotten so strong!  I do some "butt bouncing" which really hits the abdominals directly, but that is really it.  Most of the development has come just from bouncing and jogging in place on the rebounder. 

The best part is - it's so much fun to do! I have been a life-long exerciser (marathon runner, body builder, competitive tennis player) and really thought that at age 52 I would only be able to walk because my knees are so bad.  Rebounding has brought the joy back into my life because I now have a way to exercise vigorously and still have my knees feel great.  It is allowing me to have the body I used to have back again.  Keep up the great work in getting the word out about rebounding and what an amazing form of exercise it is!

Ben McCurry, Atlanta, GA (2008/02)

Hello Sylvia, Thank you for taking time out to speak with me about the Bellicon Rebounder.  Years ago, I purchased a "cheap" rebounder for $ 40.00 - used it for a while  and just stopped because it wasn't fun and I really didn't feel very good after jumping around.  This year, I decided to invest in a piece of quality exercise equipment. As soon as my Bellicon rebounder arrived, I immediately took it out of its box and started to bounce around.  At first, it was a little dizzying.  However, I persisted and have been using it first thing in the morning.  Slowly I have increased my workout (fun) time over the past 2 weeks. 

 

In just this short period of time  of about two weeks (from July 7 - 24, 2008), I have noticed - as well as my husband - that my leg muscles are becoming defined/toned and my stamina level is increasing. To keep myself upright, I have also noticed that my back and core (abdominal) muscles are also toning.This is amazing and so much more fun than any other piece of exercise equipment I have used. I LOVE my Bellicon and would recommend it to anyone - I even have my parents coming over to use it. The bounce is so soft, it is relaxing. Thank-you for finding and importing such a high quality rebounder !!

Yours in Health,

Nadina A Scarpelli, Canada (2008/07)

 

Hi Sylvia, I love my Bellicon rebounder. It's part of my daily workout. I feel so much better. The pain in my lower back is going away and my feet and calves have become stronger not to mention the wonderful feeling you get from rebounding. I really felt  in love with my rebounder. Thank you again.

Marguerita P. NY (2007/12)

Hi Sylvia, I just wanted to tell you how much I am enjoying the rebounder. I've  only been using it about two weeks and today I had a wonderful  discovery.  Every morning I do Yoga warm up exercises.  One of them  is to curl my back forward, while standing, and then uncurl back into a straight position.  This has always hurt me or at least made me  feel uncomfortable. Sometimes I've wondered if I was damaging my  back. Today I did this and it felt fluid. No discomfort. I felt like my back was liquid and it flowed into the curl and back again. The only thing I have changed is that now I am rebounding every day. Isn't it wonderful?! I am thrilled.

Margit B. Hilsboro OR (2008/01)

 

I received my Belllicon rebounder. Wow!!! What a great piece of equipment. I love it!! Such great quality; and it is so easy on my back and joints. Thanks so much.

Sonya V. , Morinville, Canada (2007/09)

Fantastic instruction...thanks so much. I felt very encouraged to hear the comments about bouncing and bone-building! After rebounding for a year and a half for my own Osteopenia, my bone density is back to almost normal.

Elisabeth Brann, Richmond CA (2006/04)

The Bellicon Ultimate Rebounder is simply the finest quality mini trampoline you can buy. It offers serious and essential health benefits by not jarring your joints, especially your knees.  It has really worked for my wife's ruined knees, ruined from brutal cross-country running abuse - and we can give a key testimonial as to how she could not jump at all on those "jarring" rebounders out there - until the Bellicon came along.

Kurt H.  Port Chester, NY  (7/2008)

 

I put one of my patients (6 surgeries between both knees) on the Bellicon Bungee Band rebounder. She absolutely loves it! It's a hit! More to follow...

Angela T. Flight commander, Surgical Services US Airforce (2007/11)

Sylvia - I have been wanting to let you know about the amazing results I have received from using your wonderful Bellicon Ultimate rebounder!  First of all, let me say that I am 52 years old and have bad knees.  Since I started rebounding daily on the Ultimate bungee, I have noticed a significant increase in strength in my legs and my knees in particular. It is so much easier to get up and down from the floor now than it was before.  As a matter of fact, last weekend I spent 3 hours cleaning my apartment which requires me to be up and down off the floor continually between scrubbing and dusting.  When I finished cleaning, my right knee was very achy and sore and I almost didn't rebound because of it.  But I decided to just do some gentle bouncing and see how it felt.  To my great surprise I noticed the pain go away very quickly - and I ended up rebounding for almost an hour and some of the time I was doing very vigorous moves like jogging with high knee lifts!!  When I got off the rebounder, my knees both felt great - all the achy and sore feeling was gone like magic!  I feel very strongly that this was due to the lymphatic pumping action that naturally happens during bouncing.  All the inflammation was literally flushed out of my knee, leaving it feeling brand new.  I also feel strongly that the Bellicon bungee is much more helpful with bad knees than the spring-based rebounders (I have one of those too that I use in conjunction with the bungee during workouts).  The softness of the bounce is incredible at absorbing almost all shock yet still giving a vigorous workout.  I can't imagine there will ever come a day when I won't want to bounce on my Ultimate - it's like floating on a cloud.  Thank you for bringing these wonderful toys to the US!!

Ben McCurry - Atlanta (2008/01)

I thought that I would drop you a quick line of thanks.  I have finally begun a program of rebounding on my Bellicon rebounder.  I'm at 15 minutes a day and shooting for 45min./day every morning.  My energy level and circulation in my lower legs has improved greatly.  After the exercise, my legs feel fantastic and I have energy like I took a 20 mile bike ride. 

Scott Barrett, Oakland CA (2007/08)

Dear Sylvia, I cannot tell you how amazed I am with both of my new Bellicon rebounders!! Today, on the Athletic, I had the best aerobic workout I've ever had on a rebounder:  the firmer more stable mat was perfect! I was able to attain optimum heart rate in just 3 minutes; had an average of 82% maximum heart rate for 30 minutes (with a high of 87% -- 136 - 145 beats per minute), which is a perfect range for me!  And I had none of the normal strain afterwards in my hips, knees or feet which I had been experiencing on my ReboundAir rebounder.  I felt unbelievably great afterwards!

And bouncing on my Ultimate 3 times a day is having an extraordinary impact on my whole nervous system and Chi Body -- I am totally "blown away"!!!

I am very grateful for your expertise in understanding exactly what would best serve my needs.  Thank you so much!!

Love,- Jon

I am still enjoying my Bellicon, and am amazed that I don't get injured using it. I have Lyme disease and my connective tissue is very compromised at this point in my life, I can injure myself sleeping and I am not a thrasher. Even on bad days I can simply boinga boinga without leaving the mat and swing my arms a little, thereby increasing circulation of blood and lymph as well as decreasing the stiffness and pain in my connective tissue, bones and joints even when my knees are swollen up like basketballs I  can still use and not hurt myself. Amazing!!! Diane R. Oakland, CA  (06/2008)

I really LOVE my Bellicon rebounder. I have the Lymph-Edema in my feet and bought mine in December 2007. In the winter months, I did a 2 mile "walk" on it  almost every day and the health bounce several times/day. My ankle has gone from 11" to just under 9" and while I wear the firm compression knee highs to work; if the weather is hot, I take them off when I get home and on weekends. I can live with that. I also wanted to say how much I appreciated your personal help when I bought my rebounder; and for suggesting I get the larger one - I absolutely LOVE it -- thanks so much!!

Jody J. Auburn MI  (06/2008)

I loooooooooooooove the Bellicon Bungee rebounder. Do it pretty much every single day. My 9 year old daughter also absolutely loves rebounding.

Fifteen years ago I was quite fortunate to have my first taste of Alexander Technique from the hands of Mare Barstow, one of F. M. Alexander's students.

 

When I came to see Sylvia, I immediately recognized the same intelligence in her touch. She has a gentle presence that invites spaciousness in my body. I can see and hear the result directly when I play the piano.

Through Alexander Technique, Sylvia's lessons have given me a greater bodily awareness, which benefits me whether performing or not.
