Urban Rebounding Trampoline - Good Product 
2008-10-06
After purchasing this product, I got nervous reading some negative testimonials on here (Amazon.com). But, after using the product for a couple weeks, that nervousness has subsided. We haven't had any problems with it yet. It seems pretty sturdy. We've left it up most of the time. Not that assembly and/or folding it up is difficult - it's not. It's just that we use the balancing bar and you have to position the legs a certain way to get the bar to fit. And anyway, we have the room to keep it out. Well, I guess the legs do take a little effort to unlatch to fold the trampoline up, but I would think that's a GOOD thing to have the legs not come off easily!! Someone in another review had mentioned the smell, which I did notice, but I didn't find it overwhelming, and many products have there own smell out of the box.
It took a short time to get used to for us. It's a little disorienting at first if your not used to trampolining. It's still kinda mesmerizing watching the included DVD while doing the workout because you're moving along with the people in the video, but this is fun.
All in all, we had NO problem with this product and WOULD recommend it!
good bargain

This is my 3rd rebounder. This is probably the best quality version. I weigh 220 plus pounds. People buy equip like this and expect miracle results in 2-3 sessions. It doesn't work like that. But if you work out every other day for 2-3 weeks, you will see results in the mirror. I work out with 2-5 lb freeweights. The cut(s) you get from this you can't get anywhere. I've been rebounding off/on since 1995.
There is marketing. There is hype. Is it all true? Mostly yes. You probably can't buy a more user friendly piece of work out equip. Yes, it gets boring. But mix it up with jogging, treadmill, swimming, etc. and you get a whole package.
My 5 yr old watches the video and imitates the instructor verbatim. He's amazing with it. He has super discipline. My kid, that is.
There are studies on this and how it activates a gland (name escapes me) that increases the flow of getting rid of toxins in your system. There are other attributes associated, such as vision, balance, etc. It may be more true for some, than others. But for under $100, you are getting an investment in a machine/tool that doesn't really compare to anything prior.
The construction is decent. When I saw the quality/price, I threw out my old one (which was still in workable condition) and started off with this.
Poor Quality Product 
2008-08-09
When first time used, two rivets broke causing separation of the two parts at frame pivot folding structure. Poor quality, bad design, this item should be inspected by the consumer safety group.
In addition, unit has very strong odor like a kerosene. Of course made in China. I have returned this item without any issue and have my money back.
Very sturdy 2008-07-24
Bought this 2nd Urban Rebounder for my son with autism. He weighs 200 pounds. He loves to bounce, hard. This so far lasted more than the other ones he had.
Great exercise at home! 2008-06-19
This product was a great price, the frame is very sturdy (it's quite heavy) and the springs are really good. It is very soft bounce and works quite well.
One of the rubber ends on the legs split, otherwise it has been working very well....you get a great workout in a short time, even when you don't feel like doing much. I have recommended this to many people...I could be a salesman for the company! I like it that much.

The Urban Bounder is just OK 2008-06-16
It sure did increase my heart rate, and it gave me a fair workout to my legs, my calves, and ankles which always burned the next morning. I don't know if that is normal to have annoying leg pain in the morning and having difficulty getting out of bed. Also, another complaint is that a sales person called me about six months after trying to sell me more workout videos/DVD's which was very unwelcomed! However after a year of not using it, I tossed it to the curb.
Bait and Switched! 2008-01-10
Before buying my Urban Rebounder, I read many articles on rebounding, and at first I thought "How can I get all these health benefits just from bouncing?" Well, I found out! I've had my rebounder less than 24 hours, but I watched the DVD it came with and I used the rebounder for a total of about 10 minutes just trying out some of the basic moves. The next morning, I felt the results in my legs and thighs, so if that's what I get just for playing around on it I now believe that rebounding is just as effective as all the articles say it is. The workouts, though fun, are really intense. I got fatigued while doing basic moves and working on my form, so I already know that it will take me a while to get through the actual DVD workouts... but I'm looking forward to it!
Though I like rebounding itself, my actual experience with ordering one was not so great. I was initially very pleased with Amazon and Bayou Fitness because I received my order in only 3 days. That joy quickly turned sour, however, when I opened the box and found that they had sent me a quarter-fold rebounder (two-fold), when I thought I was getting a half-fold rebounder (one fold, as shown in the above photos). I didn't want my rebounder to fold at all - as I have enough space in my house and I never planned on taking it anywhere - but the no-fold models are expensive. I am disappointed with this quarter-fold UR, because to me it seems as if these folds compromise the stability of the frame. To further add to the confusion, I couldn't find any quarter-fold URs online, so I called Urban Rebounding and I was told that they don't make quarter fold rebounders. I then called Bayou Fitness (the seller) and they said that Urban Rebounding no longer makes half-folds, and they now only make quarter-folds. Even after I told them that Urban Rebounding denied this, they stuck to their story. Now I don't know WHAT type of rebounder I have, and I'm trying to decide if I should send this thing back to Bayou Fitness or just buy a new ReboundAIR (which is what I wanted in the first place but I was put off by the price) and keep this folding UR in case I ever DO want to travel with it. Who knows? They say I'll get hooked on rebounding so that just might happen.
The fold thing had me upset but I still put the UR together to test it out. The set-up is easy and WOULD HAVE taken about 10 minutes, but one of the springs was detached from the frame. I guess I'm not strong or maybe I needed another person, but it took me about 45 minutes to get that thing back on there. It was awful and I was almost to the point that I was going to leave it off, but I eventually got the spring hooked up again. I sure hope that none of my springs break any time soon, because then I'll be in trouble! The final straw came when I learned that I could've saved $20 by ordering directly from the seller's website, but that's what I get for blindly trusting Amazon. The quarter-fold isn't THAT bad, but I'm concerned about how long it will last and I don't want it to fall apart on me because I can already tell that I will enjoy rebounding.
