Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a great way to exercise without the hassle of hitting the gym! There are tons of videos on YouTube that have ways to use this little gem which makes it even better! Word of CAUTION: OPEN WITH TWO PEOPLE! I didn't (at first) as I knelt on one side and tried to push the other side and the thing snapped on me like a bear trap! Now, just to clarify, this was 100% MY FAULT as I didn't feel the need to read the instructions that have CLEAR warnings before my attempt and didn't pay attention to the warning stickers either as I probably assumed they were child safety warnings or that type of thing... No matter what you read here, opening with one person can be dangerous. Now, I will say, after the fact, that I found a video of a guy who was unable to open his so he braced one side under a piece of very heavy furniture and was able to open his alone... The next thing... put the pad on before attaching the legs. It may seem obvious but if you aren't a "direction reader" for a simple product set-up like this one, I just thought I'd save you a little trouble. Well frankly, even if you read the directions it tells you to "cover the threaded connectors" and you will be like HUH? Simply put you need to stretch the black cushion lining over the places where the legs will screw in over the metal threads. You will also need 2 AA batteries for your monitor and that are not included.... The one thing I'm not loving is the firmness. I weigh 126 lbs and it seems the bounce is quite firm. When I got it all set up, I tried to follow a video that had 5 girls doing a 35 minute work out on a different rebounder that had a string-like spring system. All 5 girls of different heights and weights were able to keep the same pace of the music, but I was not. The surface was too firm and it made my jumps very unforgiving, short, and low. I had read a lot of reviews that said that the lesser expensive rebounders are known for that so that kind of bums me out BUT, it's still massively useful and think it's a great purchase!
