When using cardio rebounder, I feel the carriage would slam into the stop brackets. Am I doing it wrong? Are the stop brackets an issue with anyone?

That is exactly what happens, and one of the reasons I am going to sell mine. I went back to my 2006 stamina reformer. The reformer is not comfortable to use, and even the extra length doesn't make it worth it to use. Sorry to be negative,but I'm very disappointed and upset to have paid so much for it. Good luck with it

You are correct, I took out the stop brackets. They make the carriage too short. I bought some pipe insulation (black foam tube) and inserted this over the carriage brace up near the top to make sure the carriage doesn't bang into the top of the rebounder and this gives you another 2 or 3 inches. If you are a tall person, I think this is an issue. I am short.

That 's a great solution....if I never put it on Craig's list, I will try that. Thanks for the idea. Joe Pilates would be proud of you. Teehee and Aloha

Yes, this happens, but you have to make sure you use your legs to keep it from happening. It's like when you lift weights, you have to use your muscles to slow down your "down move" just like you use your muscles for the 'up move'. Using momentum isn't the same as using muscles. I hope this makes sense to you.

I bought the longer machine as I am tall. And yes, when I am very vigorous I do sometimes hit the top brackets but its not a big issue

I feel there is such an abundance of fitness work that can be done on this excellent machine without relying on the cardio rebounder, which I never use anyway. That said I do not find it an issue.

Hey Guys, I just received a 2nd, 3-tiered unit. Low and behold, again with the same 2x3" support bracket that Michael Vitale commented on on May 23. As I don't see any replies that appear to be from manufacturer's reps, I'm going to do a bit more research. If no further response from me, you can figure that I sent it back. Bummer.

I believe it is weight limits. My previous trampoline buckled under the pressure of.my girth. How was I supposed to lose if I couldn't jump? The pro series alleviated ALL of my concerns. It is a joy to bounce on.

Yes, mine did. I've had this rebounder now for 2 months and use it every day. I LOVE it.

Fixed. I have an adjustable too and i don't like it. Kept coming loose. You can really bounce back off of the fixed one.

I Dug my hole deeper and wider than instucted. I eneded up using 15 bags (80LBS bags) of concrete. I also added more rebar than what came with the anchor. Also make sure to dig you hole in a bell shape. Under normal play, we do not notice any wobble. More aggressive play (dunking, hard bank shots) there is some, but barely noticable. If you alreay have your system set, this is probabaly not much help.

I've only used mine in the gym. I did run around the house to see if it bounces - I would have executed some - but surprisingly very little to none. Would depend on how hard you run I guess. The tensioning strap(that's what I'll call it) does sit on the back of my neck and absorbs the impact. So, depending how how aggressively you treat the headset it could fail there over time. But, I have to say I love this S11-Flex.

Attaching the handlebar legs is very easy, the only thing you'll need is a little room while attaching them when the rebounder is on its side.I do not store mine, yet I use it everyday. Personally I would find constant attaching and removal of the bar a hassle, yet it would be easy to do.

I just received the Smooth Fitness 565i two weeks ago, and I am having the same problem as your wife. The book holder is too far away and at too flat of an angle for me to be able to read. The book holder was an important feature for me, but it is useless. The Smooth Fitness people told me that this is a brand new model. The console has been re-designed so that it has a lower profile and extends out more. I did not see any reports of people having problems reading on the previous model, so I am guessing that the new model has the book holder further away from the individual. Please let me know what you find out about a book holder for this treadmill.

To Karen C.: I am a naturally-big guy. I'm also a "LIFE Relations Counselor," which is a sit-on-your-butt-all-day while helping people job. So, 6 years ago I wound-up a 285 lb. Overweight, unhealthy mess. I bought "the Urban Rebounder" & all their Videos {DVDs} and started slow. 6 years later, I've permanently dropped the dangerous fat & am still building muscle. YES, the "Urban Rebounder" is a spectacular exercise item that will Not crumble under a 300 lb. person. I never had any problems with my weight & the Rebounder, and there are 2 other Family members now using it. I only have to use it 20 minutes daily to keep in shape. hope that helps! P.S.: BTW, it is also a LOT OF FUN.

I extend the legs first and tighten nuts...this gives the stand some downward weight. Then loosen the turn knob at end of center post and the inner tube should advance freely. Sounds like there may be a dent or crimp in the tubing or a metal burr that's catching. I'd return for an exchange.

Rebounder offers one but I believe it's freestanding. It's my sense any brand stabilizer will work. Good luck!

Personally when you're setting up the rim you can adjust the breakaway spring before enclosing it. I tightened the hell out of it. Also, I have an additional amount of 150 pounds sitting on the base, sandbags/cinder blocks. It sounds good and doesn't shake like it's going to fall apart. I own 5 basketballs and even with multiple shots still smooth and consistent. Like I said it depends who's setting it up and to what liking, I don't play when it comes down to building things the correct way. Good luck.

Never felt the need for one, so I don't know where you'd get one. Perhaps contact [google?] the manufacturer directly. Alternatively, put the rebounder in a a corner of the room or against an upright piece of furniture.

Depend on how you're going to use it. Kids? Adults? Daily? Every once in a while? 10 minute sessions? 30 minute sessions? The more use, the more you need a sturdier model. I bought this one to replace the one that we had bought 15 yrs ago that had begun to wear where the fabric attached to the clips that hold it to the frame. Ours ReboundAir Standard that we have now is used by 2 adults who weigh 160-175 lbs each. Used by at least one of us daily. Still looks & as good as it did when we took it out of the box 2 yrs ago; feels like it has the same amount of bounce, too. From what I can tell at this point, it looks as if it will perform as well as the previous one did. Depend on how you're going to use it. Kids? Adults? Daily?

You are probably doing this question because you're new on these. If your try the jumpSport, once you get used with the workout you probably will want a better tool and will put your eyes on Bellicon or (once again) the Cellerciser. I dislike the situation with the longevity of the cords. They have to be replaced from time to time. Springs on the Cellerciser might look old fashion technology, but it works. Four years working out on my Cellerciser and still running in perfect conditions. My pick: the Cellerciser.

Hello there, Yes, you can absolutely get a rebounder for this! I have one! I purchased it from Balanced Body. It costs about $135. After you place your order, a representative from Balanced Body will contact you to ask if you if you would be interested in additional accessories.
