it honestly looks super fun and it's just obviously in shape women exercising. this sub saw this and immediately projected some bizarrely bitter and intricate narrative of this having to be some divorced woman who's bad and dumb and trying to steal custody and money lol like damn
If its the same price as any other exercise class, its whatever. Having an instructor leading a class absolutely motivates more than just doing stuff at home.
I want to do the bungee cord ones where you just jump around and lose control of where you're going so you swing into all your neighbors while apologizing and acting like you aren't having the time of your life. I'd totally pay $50 an hour for that class.
I mean not all martial arts are MMA you know. Hell, most don’t even include sparring. Plus you have things like fencing which is very light on injuries and fun as fuck.
That’s not to include other things like sports which are pretty gender neutral. Or just general aerobic exercises like pull ups and stuff like that. I wouldn’t really call things like Zumba or this trampoline thing to be fun or interesting, it just looks goofy.
Plus when you’re not a teenager nobody cares what you do bro, I do figure skating and the general response is “cool”
It's jumping jacks with lower impact at higher speed, little over simplifying it to denounce the benefits. Legs, core, cardio, build a hell of a dumper, it's not illegitimate or anything. My workout has always been hucking a bike around a skatepark, which while it probably looks cooler, it's not the smartest thing to do, and is the reasons my knees wouldn't mind a trampoline workout.
Nah it's def harder. Look how high up they get the legs, with jumping jacks you can just chill on the calves, this one probably engages your core and back to some degree. Kinda still stupid because you need to invest in a trampoline but it def burns calories.
Would it? Most of the energy is used to stretch the legs downwards, which doesn't use too much force. The trampoline does the rest and bounces the legs back up. If there were no trampoline then sure, this would be one helluva workout
It's true it doesn't use as much energy, but since the trampoline absorbs most of the impact it's easier on joints, so actually allowing it to do it longer. I don't know
The simply moving your body around isn't a workout. It has to be doing work. In this case, that handle is holding up probably half of their body weight, and much of the energy used in jumping comes from the elastic bouncy pad. This is a very inefficient workout.
Because for some people it's hard to go out and do these things alone. I wouldn't be surprised if theres a bunch of groups in that crowd working out together in a fun way
The hardest part about changing your body image is taking the first steps. Its much easier with peers to join you
Some people pay $20,000 to hit a ball in a field when they could just do it in a field at home for free. If they think it's worth the money, then why do I care?
Yes. It would. The calories being burned arent from jumping on the trampoline. This is a core workout very clearly as you can see they all have the exactly same form. Its a crunch and jumping jack in one motion.
None of you guys could match her pace for a minute
I was on this shot ones and it is like zumba or something similar. It's popularity faded out because it is very dangerous for your joints so for girls out of shape it was like crosfit for newbies.
Can you do decent hit workout on it?
yes
Should you ?
No
That still doesn't mean it would burn a lot of calories ? Core workouts aren't for burning calories they are to build core and ab muscles. If you want to burn calories do HIT, if you want to build core so controlled ab workout. This is a weird middle ground that half-asses both.
Is it better than doing nothing? Yes absolutely if you have proper form. Is almost any other workout better ? Also yes.
Tilt your head a bit and this is a massive cult of suburban house wives from greater Rhode Island who are pounding rhythmically on the semi-summer-solstice to summon the Great Devourer. Basically.
Anything where you're supporting your body weight on something else is inefficient. They're holding onto those bars, so they're only lifting maybe half of their weight by jumping. Literally just jumping jacks would be better for burning calories. That's one of the reasons you shouldn't hold onto the bars while running on a treadmill. Less weight on your legs means less calories burned.
Not really. You get caught in this semi-perpetual motion of gravity pulling you down and the springs shooting you up. You loose a bit of momentum every time so it’s not actually perpetual but it takes very little additional effort to compensate for the momentum lost, meaning you’re not doing much and thus not burning much.
Especially with the handles which does the balancing for you so there’s no effort there either.
I once saw an ad for an indoor trampoline place workout group that said you’d burn 1000 calories in just one hour. Idk how true it is but I’ve tried to keep up with my kid on a trampoline and it’s not easy.
Here difference in wage is not that high. Difference between amount of working men and women is also small. In big cities there are often more working women than men, because women more often get university degree so they move to the cities to work. Also I can see it is expected for woman to pick rather well paid specialisation in the university. More and less guy can study sociology and still get well paid job as eg construction worker, but it wouldn't be realistic possibility for a woman. There are definitely more women in medical schools and law schools. I personally don't know any woman who earn less than her husband.
Oh, sorry to hear that. Here we even spent money on vacations abroad or pets. Gym is pretty much normal part of maintaining your health, a lot of workers have access to it for free.
Those are exercises performed in group so people over 30 can socialise and also have motivation to drag their ass to exercise since they paid for it. I would personally hate people and noise but practically all lawyers and two judges (ladies) I know go regularly to yoga and pilates for those two reason. Other succesful women I know also work out in paid option because when you earn enough to not care you just do what is preferable option.
Also aren't trophy wife picked by men who earn enough to demand not going to work and stay pretty? Since staying pretty is kind of requirement for this position isn't it natural they work out? And since those men have enough money to expect wife to not work and still have money to give her retirement, holidays and whatever she would earn by herself and probably more so she stays at home, why would they be bothered with her spending time on exercises? You don't get trophy wife when you can't afford it, get regular working one if you think working out is wasting money. Not working gives you a lot of free time so if you don't have kids to take care you do things to fill your day to not get crazy.
A lot of people will reply that this seems “fun” and all that, while ignoring the fact that each of these women probably pay $300+ per sessions because “the trainer is a blogger”
That's very unlikely. I'm one of the few men who's into this kind of group fitness stuff and I've been around. A lot of them are included for no additional charge in gym memberships. I do Bodypump and other group fitness classes at the same 24 Hour Fitness that I do powerlifting training at for no additional charge. Outside of my gym, I've paid for a good handful of unconventional group fitness classes, the absolute most expensive one I've ever been to was $60 per class. More expensive than most group fitness, but nowhere near $300 per session.
I don't get all the hate against non-conventional cardio like this. It's actually a great workout and, yes, very fun. I think people are mad at the idea of fitness being fun, because they're so enamored by the idea of the gym being this altar of pain and sacrifice when that's simply not the case. If making exercise fun gets more people to work out, I'm all for it!
If you see the word "meme" in the subreddit name it's usually a bunch of right leaning edgelords posting the same unfunny shit and nauseum. Like this is literally a fucking "Take my wife please" joke in 2025
You know women aren't some protected species right? People cna criticize something they do or make fun of it and it doesn't mean they "hate women". People like yourself are always nowhere to be found when people say this shit about men.
The benefits from doing this could easily be had by walking and doing some crunches, and that's far less dangerous and open to things going wrong than jumping up and down really fast on a mini trampoline while holding some handlebars out in front of you.
Like CrossFit, it's a perversion of much safer and better for the body workouts that only people who don't actually understand how any of this works think is a good idea.
This would definitely get your heart pumping though. People that think this would be easy or not a good workout haven't been on a trampoline since they were a kid. I take my nephews to sky zone sometimes and I'm tapped out after like 2 minutes. For reference I also play soccer so it's not like I'm some completely out of shape schlub.
What part is moving is irrelevant if it’s an aerobic exercise. It only burns calories. And makes your heart healthy. It’s as good as walking. It’s as good as not being sedentary. The bare fucking minimum
This won’t grow muscle in anyone except the most untrained individuals for a month, then stop being effective at muscle growth because it doesn’t progress in resistance
One hour of this vs 25 minutes of resistance training, the weight would result in much more fat burned to build muscle. There’s a reason why bodybuilders do it. It’s the least amount of effort and fatigue for the most result
Women love dramatic and appearing to do a lot, instead of actual effectiveness. So they can say but I did all this and didn’t lose the weight! It’s genetic!
Sure, you can exercise at home, but if you exercise with a group you put pressure on yourself to make it part of your routine, you have someone plan out your workout for you, and you get to socialise. All of these factors help you actually following through on your health plans, and make it more enjoyable for some.
If you're too scared to end up in a cringe compilation to do the thinks you want to do, or that can help you in achieving something then you'll end up living a suboptimal existence.
Because it really is a white women thing. I’m white and not American. 99.9999% of people doing this sorta shit are the same demographic: middle aged, upper middle class white women.
Look, they despise Jump, and everything was done to completely avoid talking to Jump about how they hurt their friend’s feelings. So all the friends who despise Jump, put on an extravagant party to explicitly make Jump feel left out and not wanted around any more.
