✔️ Look for a bungee-based trampoline. Avoid using trampolines that have metal springs. Those will be harsh on your joints. Instead, look for trampolines that have a bungee system or cords. “The bungee material is softer and it will have more give, which makes the workouts more challenging. The tighter or harder that mat, the less bounce you’ll get,” explains Lo Russo.
✔️ Figure out the size. If you plan on using a trampoline inside a small-sized apartment, it’ll be best to reach for a pick that is small and foldable. “If someone is looking to work out in front of the television, I recommend going with a 39-inch,” says Lo Russo. If you’ve got a backyard then you can take advantage of the space and go for something bigger, like a 44-inch that will give you room for advanced movements.
✔️ Go with or without handlebars. “I know the handlebars look supportive and helpful but I recommended not using them,” says McGregor. “I’ve never had anyone fall off while teaching beginner classes and the handlebar may take away from the workout and the range of motion,” she explains. So instead of reaching for handlebars right away, try out a regular fitness trampoline first (maybe with someone nearby to help in case you lose balance) and then decide if you want to add on handlebars for extra support.
