What our clients say: Testimonials for QiBounding and Bellicon Rebounders
Hi Sylvia, The Bellicon rebounder arrived in perfect condition yesterday and was even nicer than in the photo (which I didn't think possible). My wife can't stop looking at it and jumping on it - she still can't believe how quiet it is, and what a different feeling it is. We now understand the meaning of all the testimonials on your website! Steve R. Brisbane, Australia (April 19, 2008)
Sylvia, I was SOOOOO excited when the truck delivered the Bellicon TODAY! It took maybe 4 minutes to get it out of the box and set it up. No kidding. A monkey could set this up: unpack, screw in the legs, cover the tips and boom, done. Of course I jumped on it right away. It was HEAVENLY. I bought a Rebounder from a sporting goods store for like $39.95 three years ago. I had NO IDEA this was what rebounding was supposed to be like! WOW. This is completely different than the bounce on the sporting goods version! Like comparing jumping on the bed to jumping on the floor. It’s that different. Wow. I can’t stop saying WOW. The bounce is softer and soooooo much more comfortable, but at the same time I felt like I had a much better work-out. My entire office staff of 5 is going to use this everyday, so we’re ALL excited! Thanks for carrying such a great product! I am really glad that I went for the Bellicon instead of one of the other Rebounders I saw on the web. I really investigated every one of them, and yeah, they were about 1/2 the money, but I’m certain that I now own the one that’s the best for me!
Please feel free to share my name and phone number with anyone who wants a reference. Also, just as an aside, you were terrifically helpful in describing the various options, how to jump on the Rebounder, etc, and the shipping was fast! I’m glad I got the little instruction sheet, too! Best wishes, Anne Cohen anne@acohenpr.com Tel 212-330-8337
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)
B. Arthritic Condition
We just wanted to say thank you and to let you know how impressed we are with the bungee Rebounder. From the initial conversations we shared, emails back and forth, the final ordering process, and ultimately receiving the Rebounder - it has been flawless and a fantastic experience in short order. Funnily enough, this purchase has turned out to be the perfect exercise platform for my wife (she battles a painful arthritic condition daily). The Rebounder enables her to exercise without ANY joint pain period! Not only is this a godsend but a relief after trying so many other types of exercise. If only I could turn back the clock and find your product sooner. She is quickly adding minutes to her work outs and feels better each day – it’s truly amazing. Stephen B. WA, (2008-9)
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 learn about the Bellicon. I'm convinced that it is among the finest fitness products available. Best personal regards, Barry S. Alexandria VA (2008/01)
C. Autism
I love that Bellicon bungee Rebounder, because my son uses it a lot and I can see that it's filling in a need. I did not mention to you that he has Autism and special sensory needs. It's also quiet which is good for him and for me. C. E. Flagstaff, AZ (2008/12)
D. Back & Joints
Recently, I read Dr. Robert Young's book on weight loss and he has an entire chapter devoted to the benefits of Rebounding. I had back pain and carried more weight then I felt comfortable with. So I finally decided to use my Bellicon to break through the discomfort and heal. For the past 3 yeasr I had tried numerous methods (Chiropractic, Spinal Decompression. Physical Therapy, Inversion, Massage, Acupressure, Infrared heating Pads, Yoga, Dao in, Cleansing & Detoxification Programs, Stretching and Swimming) to relieve lower back pain. Nothing has made a difference.
I have now been using our Bellicon regularly for the past two months and I am really enjoying it. So far, my back pain has decreased noticeably and my flexibility has increased, too. I was also having pain in my arm with reduced mobility and that also has improved by at least 50%. i can actually feel my arm and body strengthening now. The bouncing movement is healing my entire body and I am losing weight and inches much easier and faster than with any other exercise program. IT'S WONDERFUL AND IT WORKS! Lee Papier, Irvine CA (08/2009)
I love my Bellicon 44. I have numerous athletically related joint issues and the Rebounder is by far the best piece of fitness equipment I have ever purchased! NO joint pain following a workout! WOW! Thank you! Bellicon is truly a superior product. You know this as soon as you step onto it's surface. It has been a delight conducting business with you. Thank you once again, Jayne Irvington, NY (2008-10)
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)
E. Bone Density - Osteoporosis
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)
I battle periodic depression and found myself at a low point after a build up of life events. I happened upon a blog that talked about the benefits of rebounding to the lymphatic system and for depression. I began my research on rebounders and luckily found QiBounding! I was instantly impressed by the thoroughness of the information provided. When I called, Sylvia was so helpful and kind and I felt confident making my purchase.
Rebounding has truly changed my life! I cannot believe how happy it makes me. I can rebound for hours and feel like I can keep going. I lose all track of time. I put on some fun music and dance my butt off! It has brought dancing back into my life because there is no impact on my knees. It has helped keep my weight down and I NEVER feel like I have to mentally prepare myself to rebound. I can't wait to get on there and jump! It makes me so happy and the little kid in me comes alive! I am so glad I bought a Bellicon Rebounder. Mary G. Ashland OR
H. Heart Rate & Circulation
Hi Sylvia, I just wanted to tell you a very wonderful result I got from jumping on my Bellicon 44. Before I started rebounding I was borderline hypertensive. My blood pressure was up to 154/93 at one point. Then I started rebounding. I just took my BP. It's now down to123/79. I couldn't be happier. Thank you so very much for this wonderful product. Another positive result is from a friend of mine. She found that massaging her lymph nodes before rebounding to be very painful. Then she started rebounding. Guess what. The pain went away. Gary Kotros, Easthampton, Ma, (2009/03)
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 each 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 Bellicon bungee Rebounder three 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 Jon Bernie, Contemporary Zen Teacher - San Francisco CA- www.sf-satsang.org (2007/02)
I. Incontinence / Kegel Muscles
I received my Bellicon bungee Rebounder about 4 weeks ago--it is AMAZING. I am someone who did not exercise regularly ... only every now and then. With the rebounder, I can't walk by it without jumping on it. It is MORE fantastic than I imagined in terms of the FUN factor--I actually look forward to exercising now because it is fun and feels so good. I had never rebounded before so I wasn't sure what to expect. I am gearing up for an extreme hike and needed something that would help to get me in shape...I found the Bellicon by researching on the Internet after reading an article about rebounding. Well, not only is it doing that but it is helping me to get more work done in a shorter period of time because I have LOTS more energy!!!
When I first began jumping, I realized that my "Kegel muscles" (pelvic floor) needed so much work.....Within jumping just a few minutes a day for the first two weeks - I saw a DRASTIC improvement and no longer had to stop jumping to run to the bathroom -- WHAT AN ADDED BONUS! I see now why your mission is for people to take charge of their own health car - it is true....there are SO many benefits to rebounding. Our house is filled with tile so noise travels easily. When we jump on the Bellicon - it is whisper quiet. I come out to use it and my husband is already bouncing on it. We actually find ourselves waiting for one person to stop bouncing so the other can have a turn...and have raced to see who can get on it first....it is that fun! At first my husband wondered why invested the money into it .... now he totally understands and adores working out in front of the TV! Eva in Arizona (2009/12)
I just love the feel of the Bellicon bungee Rebounder . When I now jump on my old Cellerciser, it feels like a Walrmart brand next to the Bungee.Plus, I don't have incontinence with the bungee Rebounder like I do have on the spring Rebounders. Barbara M. Saluda NC (2009/02)
J. Knees & Joints
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)
K. Lupus
Hi Sylvia, I had been very sick with Lupus (auto-immune), had lots of fatigue and lost much muscle mass. I was still searching for alternatives when I got the Bellicon Rebounder, just didn't want to lose more muscle. After about a year, I did begin a protocol of bio-identical hormone therapy. Not estrogen replacement, but a comprehensive profile. Its actually only one hormone I added, Pregnenolone. The doctor I work with had extensive research showing that many Lupus diagnoses are made coincidentally around the time onset of menopause. This was my "lucky" breakthrough.
I have a whole new body really. And the Bellicon Rebounder is one of the keys - I am convinced. Especially for someone who was in my condition and couldn't go to a gym. It gave me the chance to build my courage, not just my stamina. It helped me to begin to see myself healthy, and lo and behold, I'm living it now! Thanks for our auspicious meeting!

L. Lyme disease
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)
M. Lymph flow / Lymph-Edema
With Lymph-Edema in my feet I had bought my Bellicon Rebounder in December 2007. Almost every day, I did a 2 mile "walk" on it a and several times per day I did the health bounce.
In 6 months, 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 can take them off now when I get home and on weekends. I absolutely LOVE my Bellicon - thanks so much!! Jody J. Auburn MI (06/2008)
I just wanted to tell you a very wonderful result I got from jumping on my Bellicon 44. ....Thank you so very much for this wonderful product. Another positive result is from a friend of mine.

Lee Papier, Irvine CA (08/2009)
Hi Sylvia, As you know, I purchased the Bellicon Rebounder December 07 after reading on the website it helped a woman with osteopenia. I was concerned about whether it would adversely impact my hips in any way. I'd only had experience with the inexpensive spring type trampolines and their impact is sometimes quite harsh and can cause unwanted aches and pains. Eight months have passed and I can say I have grown to anticipate my daily air glide exercise regime of 20 to 30 minutes, on my rebounder. Now I am limber and happily ache free but I was blown away a couple of weeks ago when I decided to slip on a pair of pedal pushers I'd not had on for a few years, the waist had grown too tight for a comfortable fit. This time, thanks to daily dedication on my nifty rebounder, the waistband now has room to spare. I tried on a few other questionable pants and suit skirts and had the same great surprise. All in all, my legs are rock solid, my hips are trim, and my waste has gone down. Thank you for my wonderful Bellicon Rebounder! Marsha Fickas, Discovery Bay, CA (08/2008)
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)
1. Customer Service
I have received the Bellicon 44 and naturally, it’s FANTASTIC! I would like to thank you for all your hard work and the excellent communication you gave me. I have never received such support and care from any online store or retail shop. Plus the shipping was SOOOO QUICK. The estimated shipping time was just over a week, but instead it came within THREE DAYS! I was blown away. Absolutely blown away! You have enriched my life and I thank you. Steve Buck, Melbourne Australia (2008-11)
Hi Sylvia, I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy my Bellicon Dynamic! I've worked up to 45 minutes a day and feel so much more energetic lately. I really appreciated your help & excellent customer service! Sherri Chin., CA (2009-06)
Sylvia - Thank you so much for the great Rebounder. I LOVE it. I have a metal spring one and like it but sometimes it does bother my back. This Bellicon is so easy on my body, I really enjoy using it. I am using it alot more than I did my spring one. My grandchildren love it too. They are the main reason I ordered it in the first place. It is really fun to use. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR A WONDERFUL PRODUCT. Take care, Cheryl
Cheryl S., Simpsonville, KY (2009-05)
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" . Thank you for the great customer service. Sandy Z. Boulder, CO (2008-01)
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. Debbie Joy, Pure Skin Care, www.pureskincare.co.uk (2008-07)
The Bellicon Rebounder arrived yesterday in perfect condition. It truly is the "ultimate" ... so smooth, even and quiet. I love it! Thanks for the great customer service. Sincerely Mary Jo. Mary Jo L., Gig Harbor, WA (2008-05)
2. Bungee band Rebounders: Bellicon 39 and Bellicon 44
I want you to know that I am truly enjoying my Bellicon 39. It's great fun, and I am now up to 20 minutes a day, (in 5 minute increments) and just love it. I won't let anybody else on it...hehehe...shame on me, I know, but it's mine, mine, mine!! I love that it fits into my space easily and can be used whenever I feel the mood, it's a great piece of equipment for me because I tend to be on the computer too much, and sit all day, and this way I just hop on there and get my exercise in. I'm so glad I found you and your Rebounder!! Thank you again...:) Warm Regards, Linda E., San Juan, Puerto Rico (2008-08)
My rebounder is utterly delightful and I am so excited that I finally bit the bullet and purchased it! Talk about joyful jumping- I was flying on that thing today! My dad saw it and said, "Wow, that's a really high quality trampoline." The quality of the frame was immediately apparent to him. I wanted to thank you for it.
Rebecca H. Escondido CA (11/2009)
Just wanted to let you know that we absolutely LOVE the Bellicon! My 10 year old son felt like he was flying! Thanks again. Vicki, Australia (2009-04)
We are rebounding every day and my wife says that buying the Bellicon 44 was the best purchase of anything that we have ever made! Lynwood Murray, Miami Beach, FL (2008-11)
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 Rebounder was like switching cars from a VW Bug to a 12 cylinder Bugatti B110 sport car. When you said "after using the BELLICON, you won't want to go back to other Rebounders" - well it was an understatement. It is clearly the BEST made. I can state that the workmanship is SUPER. The BELLICON 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 44 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 learn about the Bellicon. I'm convinced that it is among the finest fitness products available. Best personal regards, Barry S. Alexandria VA (2008-01)
The difference between my new Bellicon 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. Rebounding is a great exercise, made that much greater by Bellicon. Andy LaVerne, Jazz Pianist, NY -- www.andylaverne.com (2008-01)
I received my beautiful Bellicon Rebounder yesterday. I love it!!! It is sovery 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 is unlike any other Rebounder 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)
Thank you so much for expediting the special request on the bungee color. I am loving the bounce so much. The effect is nothing like the effect of the other two Rebounders I used to own. Thank you so much. Robin S., Walnut Creek CA (2009-01)
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 cumulative. 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. 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 (2008-06)
I am extremely happy with this Rebounder and I thank you for selling it to me. Thank you. Kim T. Montreal, Canada (2008-06)
Hi Sylvia, I just replaced all my Bellicon Rebounder's bungee bands with no help or assistance from stronger arms in just a few minutes.It's as easy as you said. This procedure is much more intensive with a spring loaded trampoline. When a spring broke I had to wait and have a man replace it for me. Love this new independence. Marsha Fickas, Discovery Bay, CA (2008-08)
I got the Bellicon 44 last week-end, and love it! ! You are right, it feels so much different than the one from Sports Authority. I go from one to the other sometimes to remind myself of the difference. Sharana Muller, Elmhorst, IL (2008-11)
3. The Dynamic and Athletic Rebounders
The Athletic Rebounder is silent like you said , I was ready to "pounce" all over that statement when it didn't perform just as you stated. I have had at least 15 Rebounders over the past 15 years. Each of them squeaked, snapped springs, and sagged, and the frame was not sturdy as is your Bellicon Rebounder. Your Rebounder is great and now I even bounce with my ten month old girl in my arms. She may be a gymnast you know. :-) Chris L. Wilson, Cordova, TN (2009-03)
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)
Thanks, Sylvia. My wife and I love the first Bellicon. That's why we decided to get the second one; so we can each have one. She was cutting into my time on it. Thanks, Chase. Chase M., Tuscaloosa AL (2009-06)
This morning I received the Dynamic I had ordered for my Fitness Center - Yeah!! Thank you for that. The new Dynamic is wonderful! I love the colors. It is interesting that the bounce is still very close to the used one you sold me almost a year ago that I have bounced on almost daily since then. In other words, it really holds its spinginess well. Thanks again! Ben Lowry , Rosswell GA (2009-01)
The new Dynamic 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)
4. Rebounder Comparison
Bellicon compared 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 44, 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)
Hi Sylvia, I am enjoying the Bellicon 44 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)
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)
The new Dynamic Rebounder 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)
I just love the feel of the bungees . Now, I can't jump on the Cellerciser any longer. It feels like a Wallmart brand next to the Bungee. Plus, i don't have incontinence with the bungee Rebounder like I do have on the spring Rebounders. Barbara M. Saluda NC (2009/02)
Bellicon compared with Needak
Dear Sylvia, You cannot erase the smile on my face! I'm so happy! I just had my first 10 minutes on the Bellicon, and I LOVE IT! Ohmygoodness! It is such a different experience, from my Needak, like day and night.The Bellicon Rebounder feels like a real trampoline! I have the tiniest apartment, but this baby fits just right in, all I do is stand it up against the wall. Thanks for the professional packaging, shipping and courteous service. It has been a total pleasure communicating with you. Aranka S, Toronto ON (2009/11)
The Bellicon arrived on Tuesday without incident. My timing was good. I had just donated my old Needak to a Senior Center . From the reviews I had read, I was confident that I would really enjoy the Bellicon, so I gave my old rebounder away before the Bellicon arrived!
Setting up the Bellicon was the matter of a few minutes. Last night I tried it out for a good bit and am very happy with it. Of course it looks nice, but the bounce is much better than what I had with the Needak. I was never totally comfortable with the Needak bounce, especially when I was trying different steps and motions. The Bellicon allows for a more natural movement when varying your foot positions and trying different bounces. Hard to explain, but you know what I mean. In my opinion, the more natural bounce also makes it a safer rebounder.
Of course, this new rebounder exudes quality and is much more fun than the Needak because of the more natural bounce. Also, I love the quiet, which adds to the feeling of quality. The heavy duty bungee bands are just right for me at 6’2” and 200 lbs.
I would totally recommend the Bellicon to those who can afford it. The price is not really out of line compared to quality treadmills, ellipticals, etc., and is much more fun and even better exercise. It is also very easy to store when needed; just remove the legs and stick it under a bed! Mike M. Tama IA (11/2009)
Dear Sylvia, My Bellicon rebounder has arrived and I couldn't wait to open the package and get it set up! I'm amazed at how different it is from the Needak rebounder I've had - my experience on the Needak now feels like hard work making my body bounce. On the Bellicon, my body is gently lifted yet I feel myself getting a better workout. I LOVE bouncing on it - it's pure pleasure and completely silent. I enjoyed speaking with you on the phone - you were very helpful. You were away when I first contacted you. During the few days you were gone, I spoke with another distributor for Bellicon but I decided to wait for you to return. I sensed from your website that I wanted to work with you and I'm very glad that I did. You were delightful to speak with and I felt reassured that if any questions came up, you would be available. It's also clear that you put a lot of thought into carrying the best equipment and accessories and that you really care about educating people. Thank you so much, Holley Carlisle, Redding, CT (2009/07)
I love the Bellicon bungee band Rebounder.. It's quiet, smooth with a stable feeling and clearly gives a better workout than the 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/mechanistic 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.

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! Debbie Joy, Pure Skin Care, www.pureskincare.co.uk (2008/07)
This Rebounder (Bellicon 44) rocks! I love it! It's sooo much better than the Needak one I had. It's amazing the difference in quality! I love it! Thank you! Ellen P. Chevy Chase, MD (06/2008)
Bellicon compared with ReboundAir
Thank you, Sylvia, for providing a new level of exercise diversity into my home! I absolutely "LOVE" my Bellicon! 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 itand 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!

5. Joy
Rebounding on a quality rebounder is more than an exercise: It is a truly joyful experience which stimulates your whole system.
I just received the Bellicon Bungee Rebounder this morning and set it up. I LOVE it! It is so much fun! I just felt so happy on it. There's something so lovely and childlike about bouncing up and down - it reminded me of bouncing on my parents bed when I was small. I stayed on it about a half hour this morning. Meg Hoberman, New York, NY. (2009-07)
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! M. Bells, Tampa, FL (2007-02)
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 addicted. Thank you so much! Nora, East Dennis, MA (2007-10)
6. Toddlers and Children
My two children (ages 7 and 9) love rebounding on the Bellicon (as do I) - a great start to two young lives! Fiona N., Moorestown, NJ (2009-06)
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)
Just wanted to let you know that we absolutely LOVE the Bellicon! My 10 year old son felt like he was flying! Thanks again. Vicki, Australia (2009-04)
I love my Bellicon. Great product!! Even my 9 month old granddaughter loves it. Terri R. Upland, CA (06-2008)
I LOVE my Bellicon Rebounder, as does our 3 year old granddaughter! 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)
