Folding Rebounders

[NoGMO!]

Do the (Single or Double) Folding rebounders have the same sturdiness and quality as the Non-Folding rebounders??

Do they fold up with ease?

Sadly, a spring finally, after two years of regular use, fell off of my cheap rebounder and I am not strong enough to put it back on.

Looking into replacing it with an Urban Reb. Can anyone recommend single, double or non-fold?

i highly recommend the bellicon. i have one as does my friend and we both LOVE them.

here's my review on it: here (http://www.timelessspirit.com/SEPT08/review2.shtml)

they have both varieties... folding legs or solid... your choice. :) i have the solid.

I got a folding one with the idea that I could fold it up for storage between uses. Not so! The one I got said it took three strong people to put it together and take it apart each time and care should be taken or we could get broken bones if it snapped up on us. I never used that thing. I threw it out and got one that just stays up. It eventually wore out on the oustide. So I got another, different brand. No problems with that one so far.

Aleesha, The Belicon is fabulous, but a bit steep for now. Thanks though. The review was very informative, especially for proper foot alignment. I think I am beginning to pronate!!! I hope a better rebounder helps to correct that.

Juliebove, If you don't mind my asking what are the two brands you speak of?? I believe you about the potential broken bones when folding up the folding types as I've seen more than one review that says they are almost impossible to fold in half... or quarters.

Darn!!! I have a very tiny living space and my rebounder takes up most of the room. I was REALLY looking forward to being able to fold one up and put it away, but don't want to lose a finger!

*** PS/// Does anyone use the stability bar for alternate/additional exercises? or is it just for stability if needed? I've never tried one and don't know that I would use it.

I don't remember the original brand. I got rid of it. I know it is no longer for sale. I did look online. I currently have a Corey Everson brand. I got it online because I couldn't find it in the stores. I got it because it was cheap and got good reviews. It is also black so it doesn't clash with my decor like my old bright blue one did.

I've got the Urban and find it quite functional although I've not tried the Belicon so, can't compare. My folds although I've never folded it. I did unfold it alone and it was easy enough to do. I just roll it aside and lean it against a wall when not in use. Can just undo the legs if they're in the way.

Actually, I think Aleesha might donate a Belicon to me for my 60th birthday and I'll then do a comparison review. :D

Revvell, Is the bar useful? I already have pretty good balance..
Congrats on your (potential) birthday Belicon!

The Needak soft bounce, half fold arrived! Hooray! I am so happy with it. It's soft as a cloud. Like night and day compared to my old one.
