omg, nancy, you would not believe the difference!!! my cheapie

feels like jumping on concrete compared to my new rebounder!

yesterday, i visited the only canadian outlet for jumpsport

rebounders. it just so happens that they are located a mere 75

min drive from my house

i really wanted one of these because they use bungees instead of

springs. this results in a softer bounce and absolutely no

noise. they also get excellent reviews on the internet... mainly

on the videofitness forum.

the gps directed me to a residential area of the city but the

house in question had the business's sign on the lawn so i went

on up to the door. yep, she runs the business out of the

rec-room of her home, which i was actually happy to see because

maybe she could be more flexible on the price than an actual

store would.

very nice people, with a beautiful dog... the husband actually

grew up in my hometown, which was coincidental.

she has the top of the line jumpsport rebounder (370 model) set

up beside a needak spring model. i dont think that this does

anything to sell the needak because when one gets on the bungee

rebounder, then it is game over for the spring tramp.

i had to laugh when she warned me of the low ceiling in her

rec-room and to be careful on the rebounder (because you are

supposed to jump down into the mat, not jump up off of the mat).

so i test the rebounder, and yes, i really like the bounce.

i was worried that the mat might be too small, but it turns out

to be perfect. i flip the 370 over to look at the bungees. i

know that they are of a higher quality and are adjustable, while

the cords on the lowest end model (220) are not. the 370 also

has a different design to the part of the mat that covers the

bungees. this 370 model is $380! the 220 is $200 and is the

one i want to buy, while the 350 model is mid-line at $300 and is

the one i would buy if i had the money. the only difference

between these models is the bungees and the covering over the

cords.

she tells me that the special covering on the 370 is not

required... it costs extra and i felt i might get my toe caught

on it or something. she said the covering on the low end 220

(the same one on the mid-end 350) would be fine and i agreed.

then i asked her if the 220's cords were different and if they

were adjustable (i already knew the answers but i was getting

around to asking for a discount... heh heh.) she replied that

no, the cords on the 220 were thinner and were not adjustable...

they also have a 2 year warranty while the better cords had 4 or

5 years).

but WAIT!, she says. some of the 220's that she had were

original design from one year ago, when the company had only two

models of rebounders (not the 4 models that they have now). and

that original design had the bigger, adjustable bungees on it.

she would be happy to sell me an original 220 for $200 -- a deal

for me because i was essentially getting the mid-line 350 model

that i wanted with a one hundred dollar discount -- and a deal

for her because she gets rid of her old stock.

wow, ok, so im very happy... i was expecting to spend $250 on a

low-end and i got out of there with a mid-line for $224... i

spent some money on gas to pick it up but ::shrug:: still a

good deal, i think.

im off to do the housework and put the legs on the rebounder.

then i want to do the dvd that came with it! also PHH thighs.

chinook wants a walk. geeze i had better get moving, the

day will fly by as usual.

> Congratulations!! I'm so jealous

thanks vennitta! ive been so busy today that i havent had time

to workout on it yet. ive also been taking some 'me' time

outside in the beautiful weather we are having today.

anyway, i wanted to tell you that i was all in a fluster as i

was driving home from picking up the rebounder... because she

hadnt given me the free workout dvd! i was wondering if i

should go back, or just email her about it.

so i stopped to get a coffee and opened the box to see if it was

inside, but i couldnt see it. there was another box but it was

just the legs. oh no, i was a bit upset. when i got home i

opened the box again and flipped the mat over. there was a bag

with the instruction manual. omg, where was the dvd?! i tear

through the booklet and YAY! there was the dvd! ::happy

happy dancing:: yes, i am a vidiot...LOL. i think that the

workout will be good... i saw a clip on the internet... but im

keeping my fingers crossed that it will be a useful addition to

my rebounder video collection.
