The fitness equipment for personal
training, home and office use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1.
Does the URBAN REBOUNDING Fitness Program have
a licensing fee?
No, the cost of the this program is simply
the cost of the URBAN REBOUNDING fitness equipment
and the URBAN REBOUNDING Instructor Training Certification.
There are no annual fees once the training is
complete and the program has been launched unless
the customer is interested in purchasing additional
equipment or ancillary products such as hand weights,
music and videos.
2. Do instructors have to follow pre-choreographed
routines?
Although the URBAN REBOUNDING Instructor Training
Certification Program spends a considerable amount
of time teaching the techniques and safety guidelines
of the basic "moves", individual instructors
may choose to choreograph their own routines.
The only fixed requirement is that only URBAN
REBOUNDING fitness equipment is to be used in
an URBAN REBOUNDING class. The certification will
also teach you how to evaluate a move and to assess
its functionality as applied to a group fitness
workout. Sample classes will be written out for
Instructors to follow during the initial launching
of the program to ensure participants have the
fundamentals of this exercise.
3.
Is there any difference between the URBAN REBOUNDING jumping device
and a trampoline that can be purchased in a sporting goods store?
The
actual fitness equipment that we use is a time-tested piece that
is designed specifically to accommodate commercial use (high traffic,
different shapes & sizes). The URBAN REBOUNDING Exercise Device
is forty inches wide and has a height of nine inches. It is equipped
to support up to 350 pounds. The frame is made of high yield, heavy-duty
steel and is supported by thirty-six heavy-duty cylinder-like springs.
The unique structure of the springs reduces stress on the lower
back and improves the sturdiness of the apparatus.
4.
Is the URBAN REBOUNDING Program as safe as step or spinning classes?
The
URBAN REBOUNDING Instructor Training Certification Program is accredited
through both ACE or AFAA, offering continuing education credits
to those who choose to enroll. The eight-hour certification covers
safety precautions and movement evaluation so that each instructor
is trained to provide a safe environment during the workout. In
addition, this type of exercise was initially designed for rehabilitative
purposes. The soft surface of the URBAN REBOUNDING Fitness Equipment
also reduces the stress on the joints as compared to many other
types of exercise. Many people believe it may be unsafe because
of the jumping factor associated with trampolines. In actuality,
it allows participants to remain approximately two to three inches
away from the mat surface emphasizing the downward push on the surface
as opposed to jumping for optimal height. Also, the URBAN REBOUNDING
Program is performed exclusively on the surface of the URBAN REBOUNDING
fitness equipment, so you move on and off the unit during the basic
routine.
5.
How versatile is the actual equipment? Will the members get bored?
The
URBAN REBOUNDING Fitness Equipment can be used in a variety of different
ways. These options are explored during the URBAN REBOUNDING Instructor
Training Certification. The actual exercise device may be used as
a personal training tool for both the athlete as well as the rehabilitative
client. We do not restrict the equipment solely for use in a class
entitled "The URBAN REBOUNDING Program." Gyms are incorporating
the URBAN REBOUNDING Exercise Device in sculpting classes, circuit
classes, kickboxing classes, sports-conditioning classes, etc. The
possibilities are boundless.
6.
Is the URBAN REBOUNDING Fitness Equipment difficult to store and
does it take up a large amount of space?
Storage
of the URBAN REBOUNDING Fitness Equipment can be as simple as folding
the legs of each unit and stacking them on top of each other or
placing them on top of one another in a clam-like fashion (first
one upside down, next one right side up, and so on).
7.
Is The URBAN REBOUNDING Program expensive?
The
URBAN REBOUNDING Program does not require annual licensing fees
and the training costs are minimal. The URBAN REBOUNDING Program
will increase your group fitness participation by bringing in many
different members that may never have even considered participating.
8.
What makes the URBAN REBOUNDING Fitness Equipment superior?
Careful choice of mat material that offers:
1. Optimum resiliency
2. Resistance to ultraviolet rays which can cause fabric breakdown
3. A low absorption rate
Use of a high-grade nylon thread
A heavy-grade steel frame
Individual mounting pins that help prevent frame wear
Custom made jumbo springs which deliver a soft bounce
A protective skirt to shield the springs
Spring-loaded legs that fold for easy storage
The
URBAN REBOUNDING Fitness Equipment exhibits all of the above features
of excellence and you can also purchase an optional stabilizing
bar, an accessory that is easy attached to the URBAN REBOUNDING
Fitness Equipment exercise device.
