" I Have been using the cheap WAL-MART trampoline, not knowing that so
much research and improved rebounders were available. I recently house-sat
for a friend for a month and used her ReboundAIR. The difference sold me!
"
-Sandra of Wendell, MA
"...I'm greatly enjoying my reboundair and the $400.00 I saved by not
buying a treadmill. I'm losing fat by the handfuls, feeling terrific and
having a blast with my rebounder. Of course I'm following a diet too.
...The thing that first struck me when I pulled it out of the box is
the quality of it. The workmanship is top notch. I would like to add that
a feature I didn't notice your website mention is the fact that no
assembly is required. Just unfold and you're ready to jump to it.
Again, thank you for your high quality product and the free gifts."
-Margaret of North Augusta, SC
"It’s wonderful!!! I LOVE it!!! I’m so pleased to have this great way
of exercising right in my own home, and I’m REALLY glad I have the
easy-to-use half-fold. Thank you SO MUCH for your patience and help with
the whole process of getting started; you have my sincere gratitude both
for your helpfulness and for the rebounder itself. I know I’ll get a lot
of use out of it, and my health, spirits, and fitness levels will all
benefit. THANKS again for service and kindness above and beyond the call
of duty".
-Rachel
"I recently purchased one of your quarter-folding mini trampolines and
I've been wanting to thank you ever since. My only excuse for not doing so
before is that I spend all my spare time on it.
...You should have seen the grin on my face. And the way my body felt!
...It's literally the best purchase I've made for myself in the past
15 years, definitely the one I feel the happiest about.
...I do physical therapy and teach body and movement awareness so I'm
aware of what damages can result from poor equipment, and you should have
seen some of the contraptions I've been offered over time.
...it is the ultimate tool for taking responsibility for our own
health..."

"I can't thank you enough for this exciting, fun way to exercise! It
has turned something that used to be drudgery into something I look
forward to every day. Through combination of diet and exercise, I have
lost 23 pounds and two clothing sizes."
-Gail
"Already have 3 other makes. I want the best!!!"
-John, MD
"I started rebounding 28 days ago. My immune system was so shot and I
was tired of being tired and sick. I started with the gentle "health
bounce" for 15 min in the morning and 15 min in the evening. I also began
a sensible diet to help cut down food allergies etc. My main objective is
to get my lymphatic system moving and find some type of exercise I could
do without re-injuring my knee (I had the ACL replaced back in 93 and I
tore the cartilage off the bone, so no more running or much of anything
without severe pain and bleeding in the joint!) so, needless to say, I
have been desperate to find an exercise I could do that wouldn't irritate
the bones in my knee.
I began to lose weight immediately! Muscle tone, improved breathing,
no more ear aches or sore throats and my allergies are clearing up!!!!!
WOW.
I'm up to 38 min in the am and I do about 15 at night. I decided to
look up rebounding on the web to find out more about it-need I say more? I
found the ReboundAIR™ and ordered the book and a video for myself and one
for my children.
I've been using the "Keep on Rebounding" video for about 2 weeks. I
have lost a total of 15 lbs. since I started. I'm toned, slim, my skin is
clear and glowing. I still haven't gotten all the moves down in the video,
but my knee has strengthened enough to keep my balance and I can at least
keep going to the end. My mom started about a week ago and my HUSBAND
started about 3 days ago.
I haven't had any pain, I love the results and I'm thinking about
getting certified in Reboundology and putting an ad in my children's
school handout to teach anyone else who wants to learn. It's amazing. I am
very excited about this and I love my Quarter Fold ReboundAIR™, it's so
much nicer than the one I picked up at a 2nd hand sports place. Even less
impact on my knee and joints. I could add a list of things that have
improved, but I figure this is long enough.
Thanks for a great product and for a great video!"

"I've been rebounding for some time now. My initial motivation was
lymphatic health. I have found that I can rebound every day (week days)
without any signs of over-training. I have tried running on that schedule
but developed ankle and knee pain, so I feel rebounding is better for that
style of training. I use a 15 minute rebound session to warm up for yoga and
weight lifting."
-Josh
Shape Magazine: "Rebounding can provide a scientifically sound workout
for cardiovascular improvement and weight management."
-Len, Ph.D.
"That roll of stretched skin that appears on a woman's tummy after
having a baby, (I have had three) can disappear, and with commitment to your
rebounder, DOES. It combats depression, stops menstrual cramps, increases
circulation in your face and thus decreases wrinkling and gives you the
appearance of youth."
-Lynda
"...she [nurse practitioner] couldn't believe my age. She said, 'you have
the bones of a 17 year old!' The reading was done with a Sahara Clinical
Bone Sonometer and measured a T-score of 2.8. Pretty amazing for someone my
age. I'm sure that this test was a result of my exercise on a rebounder, my
eating habits and good mental health. Thank you Al for all your research and
dedication to this form of exercise. It works wonders if you work at it."

"My name is Meg knoll and I live in Wisconsin. I'm writing to thank you
so much for getting rebounding out where people can see it and realize how
great it is! I was someone that was told by my doctor that I needed to stop
compression exercise, because of my back. I had been a jogger and an aerobic
exercise person for many years. I didn't know what to do! Walking just
didn't do it for me! ...All I can say is THANK YOU! I absolutely love
rebounding and it is just marvelous exercise! I've had no problems with my
messed up back and neck - if anything, rebounding has strengthened my back.
I just wanted you to know what it's done for me and that your website is an
excellent source of information. I've talked up rebounding with anyone that
will listen and sent many people to your website."
- Meg
"What is my primary objective? Weight loss, tone, and a change in my
exercise routine. It's a fun way to make sure I get some aerobic exercise
every day. ...I also like the idea of being able to get a good aerobic
workout indoors without going to the gym. I have a treadmill but it's so
boring!"
- Wendy
"Right now I rebound three days a week, will work up to five or six. 20
minutes at a time, again, I will work my way up to a longer period of time.
My objective is to lose weight and tone. I used my rebounder about 13 years
ago to lose 40 pounds, therefore, I know it works (along with dieting). I
have a free gym membership through my work, but I choose to use this method
of exercise instead because I can use it in the privacy of my own home and
it's fun."

"I am rebounding five days a week, but only for two ten minute periods a
day. I'm still new at this. My objectives are tone and lymphatic system
stimulation at age 49. Rebounding is enjoyable and the time passes quickly.
I feel strengthening and toning in the backs of my legs, around my knees and
across my back. I need to start increasing the duration this weekend."

"My name is Ray. I'm a 62 year old gentleman that was diagnosed
as having Muscular Dystrophy in 1976 in Pittsburgh, Pa. In 1981 I retired in
Florida and weighed about 225 lbs. In 1983 I bought the book "The Miracles
of Rebounding" and my first rebounder. I have kept your book at my bedside
for many years and have read it so much that I have had to use tape to keep
it bound together.
Over the years my rebounding has gone from 45 minutes a day to nothing.
Sometimes when I got really lazy and would not rebound for a long time, my
mobility would get so bad that I could hardly walk without looking like I'm
going to fall over any minute.
Other times when I was on a streak of consistent daily exercise I would
walk so normal that when I would tell people that I had MD they would say
they hadn't noticed anything in my walking.
What I'm trying to say is that I have to sincerely say that I believe
that rebound exercise has kept me out of a wheelchair for the last 18 years
or at least the last 5 years. I have a record of every jump I've ever done
on a rebounder kept in annual diaries and I can look back and tell the good
years from the bad years according to how much time I spent on the
rebounder.
I have to put my rebounder in the hallway and hold onto the door jambs
because my balance is not so good but right now I'm back to rebounding
almost daily ( I've rebounded 93 out of the last 96 days ). I have atrophy
in the front of my ankles so even when I'm doing the strength bounce my toes
will not leave the mat but I do the best that I can. Over the last 3 months,
I've sometimes rebounded for 30 minutes a day and sometimes for over 50
minutes a day. I've made a promise to myself that I'm going to do at least
something every day no matter what.
I now weigh about 185 lbs and would like to lose about 20 lbs in the
midsection and have that as my goal over the next year. My main goal through
rebounding to make myself a productive person as far as income is concerned
so I'm not a burden to my son or my family. I would like to become a member
of your organization but will have to wait until I can get the funds
together to get one of your units. I came across your website last week and
have spent hours looking at everything I could find on rebounding.
It's really nice to see how rebounding may finally get the recognition
that it certainly deserves. I hope I can be a part of introducing the best
exercise known to man to a truly uneducated public. I wanted to write and
thank you for what you introduced back in 1979 because as I said
before.......I would be in a wheelchair if I had not read your book and
started rebounding.
Thanks a Million ! ! !"

"Thank you for our pleasant conversation yesterday. I just wanted to
take a moment to reiterate some of the reasons I'm truly enjoying the
rebounder your company makes.
As I mentioned, my wife purchased a ReboundAIR™ through Ariel Moss, a
personal friend of ours for many years, after her enthusiastic
recommendation. When it arrived, I liked the construction of it, and knew it
was a serious piece of exercise equipment that was well designed. I read the
book my wife also received (The New Miracles of Rebound Exercise) and was
quite impressed with the data presented by Mr. Carter. After watching the
video ("Keep on Rebounding"), I was hooked. That was 3 months ago; now my
wife can't get me off the thing!
As a physician, I'm aware of the problems of degenerative diseases and
the new information attempting to help us all achieve healthy aging. Diet,
exercise, and nutritional supplementation seem to be an important part of
this equation. What I like most about the rebounder is the fact that it's
regular use can help maintain muscle mass, bone density, aerobic capacity,
balance, cardiovascular fitness, and reduce insulin resistance - all of
which become problematic as we age. Additionally, it's easy and pleasurable
to use, has no parts to essentially break down, is portable, and most
important of all, quiet (I have to exercise very early in the morning before
work, and I can use the rebounder easily without waking the whole house.)
It's the first type of exercise that I've been able to consistently
every day as part of my overall health routine. Since beginning, I've
noticed improved stamina, overall strength, balance, flexibility, decreased
stress, and better sleep - all without stress on my joints. I have even
knocked several strokes off my golf game!
I have owned a NordicTrack, and a treadmill, and done cycling, swimming,
and jogging, and used gym equipment; this far exceeds the benefits I
received from those types of exercise. Adding a light weight routine a few
days a week while jogging on the rebounder rounds out a perfect regimen for
me that only takes me about 25 minutes daily.
I'm truly delighted with the quality and design of the rebounder, and I
appreciate all of the research and time your company has put into producing
such a quality exercise aid. Thank you.
p.s.- thank you for sending me the tape and book, as my wife plans to
take hers with her when she travels."

"I just wanted to write to you to tell you how wonderful for and
essential to the therapy and daily life of my son with autism spectrum your
Rebounder is. Our son is 5'11' at age 15 and about 150 lbs. He is extremely
athletic and runs like the wind. This is his extraordinary gift. But
ironically, with the autism, he runs out the door and down the street. With
the Rebounder he is able to get his exercise without putting his life at the
risk of getting hit by a car or being lost. He adores your rebounder and
uses it at least an hour a day. He will intermittently get on the rebounder
and jump from 3 to 5 minutes. He is very adept at using the
Rebounder and would be utterly lost without it.
With many autistic children there is a real problem with what is called
"elopement" which means they run off and do not have a real sense of danger.
Sometimes their ability to get exercise is compromised severely as a result.
Between the Rebounder and the fact that our son considers doing sit ups to
be recreation, his is very well built, has a sense of his surroundings that
he responds to and he is much more normal in his bearing and demeanor. The
Rebounder is an integral and absolutely necessary part of our son's ongoing
therapy.
With sincere best regards for the continued
success of your Rebounder, I am"
