been watching lots of review videos
From what I have seen, it depends on how you want to use it.
If you want rebounder specific workouts, an Urban Rebounder is probably better than a ReboundAIR cuz a ReboundAIR has an uneven bounce with the mat being squishier in the center. Needak seems to be better than ReboundAIR on the reviews but still not actually better than the UR or worth twice the price. Now if you want to able to adapt the rebounder to workouts not designed for rebounding (walking, TaeBo, AWT, Athletic cardio, etc.), I love my YogFlex!!!!! http://www.drugstore.com/products/pr...41&catid=79681 If you want to try using a minitramp, you can probably buy Walmart's and even return it if not happy with it. Their latest comes with a bounce counter and bands. If money is no object,the bungee cellerciser by Bellicon is the best bounce hands down and seems to offer more space than most but its price tag is intimidating. Barb S who wouldn't be able to workout in my basement on a Bellicon bungee without slamming my head into the ceiling

I haven't tried the Cellerciser, which looks like it has good springs that would adapt well to different body types/sizes, and give you a good bounce. I'm just piping in to say the Needak Soft Bounce is not so great if you plan to do a fair bit of jogging/sprinting on your rebounder. There's such a thing as a rebounder with too soft a mat. I found it sunk too much and I'm med height/weight, so I can imagine the problem would be even worse for a larger person. (Maybe not so much an issue for someone really tiny). For this reason I prefer the springy mat on my Urban Rebounder which works great for running/sprinting moves as well as balancing jumps on one foot. (On my Needak I struggled to keep my balance on one foot because of the slow, sinking down-deep motion of the mat). If my UR ever gives out I'll probably try a Cellerciser. I really love my UR though and the price is definitely right - so long as you can live with the blue/fluorescent yellow color.
I think the most important thing is to try out a rebounder firsthand if you can, or preferably several. The UR is available in sporting goods stores. If there's a salesperson near you who sells the Cellerciser, it would be worth going in person to jump on it and compare the mat bounce to other rebounders. ETA: I've heard the older, standard Needaks are good for jogging (and have a mat with more spring), which I haven't tried. But I've noticed a lot of stores only sell the Soft Bounce version now. |

The YogFlex is larger than the Bodyburner but the Bodyburner is still larger than the UR The Bodyburner is stiffer than the YogFlex but the YogFlex is probably stiffer than the UR (now are you confused too? LOL) The YogFlex, UR and Cellercisers (both spring and bungee) have an even bounce and no squishy center just depends on your financial situation and workout preferences which to choose Barb S
