Trampoline use in gyms and schools looks set to explode in the UK

Fitness guru James Winfield - MD and master trainer with Urban Rebound UK - believes that rebounding is set to explode into gyms across the UK. This week saw the launch of his latest website which offers rebounding packages for gyms, schools and individuals. He says on his website: 'We believe that our programme offers an alternative to mainstream sports that not every individual is naturally good at. I have personally observed some fantastic results with individuals following the use of our programmes. We passionately believe that “Every Child Matters” and we know that Rebound UK can reach the minority communities as well as supporting those children who have a natural ability for sport. "

For information on all the research that has been done into the health benefits of rebounding see www.urban-rebound.co.uk. Urban rebounding is already being practised in more than 1,000 schools and gyms across the UK. James' mission is: To make exercise available to all populations, regardless of age, gender and fitness levels by providing access to cost effective exercise that is safe, extremely effective and most of all FUN to do.

Supporters of James' programme include Dame Kelly Holmes who is most famous for her double Olympic Gold win in Athens in 2004 where she scooped the gold in both the 800m and the 1500m event. In 2006 Dame Kelly was appointed as the first National School Sport Champion, a role which is backed by the Government as part of the PE & Sport Strategy for Young People
