What you want to experience

 

(remember: Choose only one answer in this category)

 

I want to experience a soft bounce, a plush feeling, like flying. It is also important for me to experience a workout that strenghtens me and is fun at the same time.

Note: BBBB

 

For my physical conditions (back, knee, joints) I need the softest possible rebounder.

Note: BBBB

 

As I have never rebounded, I don't know what I want to experience.

Don't note anything for this category

 

I want to experience a strong bounce that allows me a quick frequency so that I can jog on the rebounder.

Note: SSSS

 

I want to bounce very strongly at least an hour per day and really build up my body.

Note SSSS (recommendation: You might prefer a spring based rebounder. Go to section IV)

 

Your budget

 

(remember: Choose only one answer in this category)

 

I want the best of the best. I love beauty and I believe in quality.

Note: BBB

 

My health is worth getting the rebounder that suits me most, even if the model is expensive. I know that doctor visits are very expensive, too, and that a high quality rebounder would pay out at the end.

Note: BB

 

Money matters. However, I am willing to pay for a rebounder that provides me the fun experience that I need to keep me motivated.

Note: B

 

Although I love high quality, my budget is limited. I could not spend more then $300 for a rebounder.

Note: SSSSSS (You can directly go to section IV as Bungee band rebounders are more expensive)

 

Allways outside?

 

I want that my rebounder can be kept outside overnight and during rain and snow.

Note: SSS

 

I want my rebounder to be indoors or I want my rebounder to be outdoors during the day but I will bring it in at night or if it rains or snows.

Note: FFFF

Travelling

 

I travel a lot by car and it would be great if I could  quickly mount and demount my rebounder at a reststop so that I can bounce and refresh myself within minutes.

Note: FFF

 

I travel a lot by airplain and I would love to take my rebounder with me.

(Most airlines allow you to take a 39" rebounder with you as check in luggage at no extra costs. It just needs to be kept in a round carrying case, not in its box as the box is too big).

Note: S

 

I won't likely travel  a lot with my rebounder.

Don't note anything in this category.

 

Stability

 

My rebounder should be so stable as if the frame and the legs were glued together.

Note: SSSS

 

I don't mind if there is a tiny bit of play between the rebounder and the legs as long as this does not influence the quality of my bounce.

Chemical tolerance

 

I am sensitive to chemicals and I could not tolerate a rebounder that leaches plastic.

Note: BCN

 

The smell of plastic does not concern me as I will store my rebounder outside.

Note: O

 

If the result is "N" then you might look into buying a Needak rebounder. It's springs are a bit squeaky but for its price, it's a good rebounder. It has a high quality Permatron mat. You can find Needak rebounders on  www.amazon.com.

If your result is "O" you might be interested in buying an Intone Oval Jogger. Note however that the bounce is very hard and that the plastic cover is smelly. I have bought one myself and after a week of having it on the patio, I can still smell it from 10 feet away. What is very nice with the Oval Jogger is that the surface of the mat is very large which allows a great variety of  bounces. You can find this rebounder also at www.amazon.com.

If your result is "C" you might be interested in buying a "Cellerciser". This is already a more expensive rebounder which costs around $360. The overall quality of it is good. The mat is made out of Permatron, the springs are high quality springs and the bounce is nice. Downsides when bouncing on it are a slight ripple on the mat due to its slightly wobbely folding legs and a squieking noise of the springs. The Cellerciser counts however as a high quality rebounder which delivers good results and can definitively be an alternative for those who do not have the budget for a Bellicon rebounder.

 

If you want to get more information or if you want to place an order for a Cellerciser please call us at 510-237-1656 and tell us your result of the quiz. We are happy to assist you.

If your result is "B" then you might be most happy with a Bellicon spring based rebounder.

They are actually the best spring based rebounders which we have encountered. German engineering really shows in these rebounders as  Bellicon not only uses the best springs available worldwide - which they import from New Zealand - they also figured out that if they alternate left- and right turning springs, they can produce a better bounce then if all springs turn in the same direction.

Bellicon produces two different spring based rebounders, the "Dynamic" and the "Athletic". Both rebounders look identical. You can get them in various color compositions with a Permatron mat that is either blue or black and a spring cover which can be white, yellow, red, blue, green etc. (Ask which colors are available in stock). The only difference is that the "Athletic" has 12 more springs than the "Dynamic" and is capable to handle up to 350 pound of weight.

Therefore, in case your weight is under 180 pounds, you want to look at the "Dynamic" and if your weight is above 180 pounds or if you want to use the rebounder mainly for jogging, you would go for the "Athletic". True, they are among the most expensive spring based rebounders. However, they also deliver highest quality for many years: You will never need to exchange the springs (with proper use, they will never break) and - great for the nervous system - they are completely silent.

If you want to get more information or if you want to place an order for a Dynamic or an Athletic please call us at 510-237-1656 and tell us your result of the quiz. We are happy to assist you.
