“We have had JumpSport in our building for about a year. What I love about them is that all my students stay active during the whole fitness lesson because they are having so much fun! With other types of fitness lessons many students, due to body type and fitness level, don't give as much effort because it is hard for them. With the trampolines no matter what their skill level is, they are able to adjust their workout to fit their needs without stopping. I get maximum participation and effort by all my students during our JumpSport fitness lessons, and they are having a blast while working out!” – Brandi
