Special Honors
Bellicon Jumping Fitness With a hexagonal shape and 54-inch length at its longest point, the Bellicon Jumping Fitness allows for plenty of versatility in your exercise routine. You can choose from four border colors, all of which are very vibrant, and it features screw-on legs, so it can be stored flat if need be. bellicon.com
Acon Air 1.8 The Acon Air 1.8 has a galvanized and powder-coated steel frame, so it shouldn't ever rust, even if you live in a very humid climate. Both its padding and mat are treated for UV resistance too, allowing you to use it outdoors without having to worry about the various components deteriorating, and it measures six feet in diameter, making it good for a wide range of activities. acon24.com
Editor's Notes
May 18, 2020:
Trampolines are a great, low-impact alternative to running, and allow you to get a great cardio workout in the comfort of your own home. This makes them ideal for anyone who has knee issues, or who lives in a city and either doesn't own a bike, or simply doesn't feel safe riding one around busy streets.
Since this list is focused on options designed for exercise, we wanted to showcase models that have smart features that really help them live up to their potential. For example, the JumpSport 570 Pro lets you adjust the tension to meet your current weight and fitness needs. While not adjustable per se, the David Hall Cellerciser features triple-barrel springs that are designed to give the same rebound for someone who is 100 pounds, as for someone who is 300, so it is a good model for the whole family to use.
Despite being very high-quality models, the downside to both of the above options is that they don't feature a handrail, which may be a requirement for anybody who has balance issues, or who is simply hyper focused on safety. If you fall into this category, you may be better off looking at the Stamina Intone Oval, MXL Maximus Life Pro, Zupapa Mini Fitness, Wamkos Dinosaur, Upper Bounce UBSF01HR, and Marcy ASG-40. It is worth noting that while the Wamkos Dinosaur is designed for children, it does offer a 220-pound weight capacity, so many adults can use it too.
Many of our picks also include workout DVDs, which can be very helpful for anyone who isn't that familiar with trampoline exercises and needs a little guidance. Some of these options include the JumpSport 570 Pro, Stamina Intone Oval, MXL Maximus Life Pro, and David Hall Cellerciser. The Stamina Intone Oval deserves special mention because it also comes with exercise bands and has a fitness tracker. Plus, its oval shape allows for a lot of variety in foot positioning.
If you are limited in storage space in your home, you should look to one of the folding models, like the MXL Maximus Life Pro or David Hall Cellerciser. On the former, the spring-loaded legs fold flat against the rebound mat, while on the latter, the legs are removed but the circular frame actually folds up. The Marcy ASG-40 and Leaps & Rebounds Bungee also boast removable legs for flat storage.
