What Types Of Trampolines Are Available For Families To Purchase?

Posted by maryparker on February 21st, 2013

If you have looked enviously at your friend or neighbor’s trampoline and heard the peals of laughter from those lucky enough to enjoy one, you may be ready for a trampoline of your own. Trampolines are an excellent source of fun exercise, not just for kids, but for adults as well.

If you have heard that getting at least thirty minutes of exercise per day is recommended, you are not alone. We have all been hearing that message for a while. Chances are it does not sound any more appealing than it did the first time you heard that message. If you have not been able to find an exercise that works for you, you may want to look at a trampoline. Using a trampoline does indeed count as exercise, even though it is disguised as recreation.

There are many types of trampolines available to purchase. One of the first factors to consider when purchasing a trampoline is shape. If you have a large yard, you can choose whichever shape you like best. If you do not have a lot of space to work with, you will want to take measurements and figure out if it is best to get a circular trampoline, oval or rectangle. Each shape comes in a variety of sizes, so if you are not worried about maximising your space you can pick the one you like the looks of and get the appropriate size. Tiny indoor jogging trampolines are good, but the large trampolines such as the ones that gymnasts use for practice are the best when it comes to workouts. You tend to use more of your muscle groups and will burn more calories and strengthen your muscles as well.

Here are a few brands of trampolines to review:

•             Zero Gravity - Printed symbol in the middle encourages jumpers to stay in the middle of the trampoline. This company puts extra spring and extra padding into their trampolines. This also comes with a 10-year warranty, and can be left outside all year round.

•             Jumpking - Special Eurospring design that reduces stress on trampoline frame. Increased durability, stability and safety.

•             Super Tramp - Attention to quality, performance and durability with options to suit any and all skill levels.

•             Wookie - Natural colour trampoline and good value for the quality

•             Sky-high - Thicker safety padding, more springs, warranties

•             Kerboing - Specialises in replacement beds

•             Plum - Unique 3G trampoline enclosure that separates the jumper from the springs

•             TP - Special SurroundSafe feature for trampoline safety

•             TrampolinesGB - Family-run business that specialises in safe trampolines for European climates

These are just a few of the brands, some very well known and others newer to the trampoline market. All of these are available for purchase by both families as well as professionals that will be practising for competitions. Most come with warranties and accessories and can be purchased separately for added convenience and fun, or safety. Netting, ladders and tie-downs can all be purchased separately if the trampoline you choose does not come with those. Trampoline covers and music speakers can also be purchased separately.
