Mini trampolines are officially cool, friends. That's right, our exercise routines are — quite literally — on the up (and down again). Eva Longoria often shares clips of herself enjoying a bounce, while Michelle Keegan is a confirmed fan and Cindy Crawford's apparently been doing it for decades — even Gwynnie's Goop is in on the fitness trampoline action. Don't worry though — we're not veering into jade egg or psychic vampire repellent territory here.

Instead, we've rounded up the expert opinion on why you should consider adding an exercise trampoline to your home gym equipment, and which fitness trampoline option may be best for you.

Mini trampoline workouts ('rebounding' to those in the know) can offer an excellent full-body fitness session. They'll target your lower back, quads, hamstrings, glutes, calves and core, while also getting your heart rate climbing and blood pumping for a cardiovascular exercise challenge.

‘[Rebounding] uses significant amounts of oxygen at the muscular level, engages large muscle groups, and can be sustained continuously,' Steve Farrell, PhD, a senior investigator at the Cooper Institute and a fellow with the American College of Sports Medicine told WH.

Calorie burn isn't the be-all and end-all in workouts (far from it), but here's an interesting comparison: trampoline workouts can burn as many calories per minute as running at a pace of 10 minutes per mile, according to a study by the American Council of Exercise.

Ultimately the type of mini trampoline that's best for you is down to personal preference. But before you hit the checkout, consider the importance of the following:

The Women’s Health editors and writers have put numerous mini trampolines through their paces to whittle down a list of the very best on the market — after all, you’re trusting these things with your full bodyweight, as well as increased pressure when you bounce, so you need to know you’re getting a quality piece of kit.

With each trampoline we assessed how simple it was to set up or put together, how easy it was to carry and whether it was portable or not, plus took note of any included extras — for example guided videos, handles, grippy socks — that elevated it above other products.

Most importantly, we tested how the trampolines actually felt to bounce on — did they have good tension in the springs, did they have enough space to allow for less-than-precise jumps (hey, we’ve all been there), did they make much noise, did we feel supported and sturdy during use (even on not perfectly flat ground)?

(Did we also group them all together and bounce between them in assault course fashion? Sure, but they’re an incredibly fun and playful addition to training, so we think that’s justified.)

Here are our top 10 picks for buying a mini trampoline in the UK. From budget-friendly to boujie, there really is something for everyone — including our picks of the best Amazon trampolines and folding trampolines.

The number one best-seller in fitness trampolines on Amazon, this is an officially certified great piece of kit. It's got everything you could possibly want, from a nifty foldable design, high maximum load and adjustable handle, to a super-safe non-slip rubber mat. Plus it comes in a bunch of different colours.

We’re calling it: £39.99 is an utter bargain for this baby. Here’s why:

Assembly is simple, just screw the legs on, taking care not to trap the cover material when screwing on — it’s a tad fiddly but the whole thing took us less than five minutes. Plus it comes with pads at each leg point so if you want to store it flat you can do so without damaging your floor. It’s the little things!

Once assembled the trampoline is nice and sturdy (even though the legs are plastic), with good tension and plenty of space to bounce. During use we never felt in danger of hitting the floor — even when one editor’s 6’4” boyfriend decided to join the party. Bear in mind that the maximum user weight is 100kg though.

It’s nice and light so easy to move around, and on the box there’s a QR code you can scan for coaching sessions and spare parts.

Is it on the basic side? Sure, and it doesn’t feel like anything special when compared to (most) more expensive models, but for the price it’s excellent value and gets the job done. A great entry-level rebounder to keep your cardio on target.

This is a best-selling mini trampoline, and is on the larger side at 114cm, so ideal if you want a bit more space to play with. It's also super high quality, with thickened bungee ropes, anti-slip rubber pads (that make it quieter than the standard trampoline), a steel frame and adjustable T-bar handle. A great all-rounder.

Like some of the other trampolines on this list, this one comes folded up, as well as with a host of extras, including a handle and grippy socks. The box may boast a DVD too, but this is out of date – now you get a YouTube link with access to a bunch of how-to videos (including assembly/disassembly) as well as rebounder classes (spoiler, they’re super fun).

Because it arrives folded, assembly is a little tricker than some other options, but the trampoline does feel much higher quality, as well as very secure and steady once assembled — plus this means you can fold it up to store it away in the handy bag it comes with.

This one feels great to bounce on — and not just because of the inclusion of grippy socks — and it’s great to have the security of a handle, but you can put it low enough to ignore it if you’d rather not use it. The handle does rattle quite a bit, which is a shame, and means the trampoline is a bit harder to move around (when assembled) than others. But overall this is an excellent option for the money, particularly when you consider the amount of extras you get.

This mini trampoline might have a higher price tag than most, but if you can wait you might be able to snag a deal in the Amazon Prime Day sale that's coming up in October. It's excellent quality and super easy to put together, plus it comes with resistance bands, a handlebar and sand weights to help you get your most efficient sweat on yet.

This Viavito model is a little smaller than others on this list, with a 96.cm diameter, but has reinforced webbing around the edge of the trampoline surface and padded sides, so if you do bounce off-centre, you’re not going to lose a foot through the gaps in the springs.

Speaking of springs, these ones are nice and tight, and arranged in multiple triangle formations for extra stability and tension, which you can absolutely feel.

It’s nice and light too, at just 6.2kg, and was easily the most portable of all the mini trampolines we tried. Detachable legs mean it can fit smaller spaces too — use it for a WFH screen break to get that blood pumping again.

Assembly was simple as well — just unscrew the caps on the leg attachment points then screw in the metal legs. It already comes with the padded spring cover attached so then you’re good to go. A word of warning though — if you use this outside, that polyurethane cover gets very warm in the sun!

If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, this 38-inch rebounder by Costway is a solid choice. It features a hot pink waterproof PVC pad that covers the springs for safety, and can hold up to 150kg in weight. Plus it fold away neatly when not in use.

Like the Studio version above, the Boogie Bounce Elite comes folded up and with a bunch of extras, including access to loads of enjoyable rebounder classes. The main difference is that the Elite model uses bungee cords rather than springs and trust us, you can really feel that difference. The tension is the best we’ve tried, it’s strong and sturdy, feeling like you can really push down on the trampoline’s surface to get a better return for your efforts, and overall provides a much more satisfying bounce.

Because of that extra tension it’s a bit difficult to unfold the first time. The instructions reassure that this is normal and it will get easier, but bear in mind that you mind need a pal to help set it up the first time around.

Again, the handle does rattle, although less so than on the Studio model, and it does make the trampoline a little more difficult to move around. That said, once you get the hang of it, folding it down doesn't take long at all, and it's easy to pop in the bag and store under a sofa.

The Elite model comes with a lightly padded safety cover for the bungees, that the brand says should be used by anyone under 14 years old. We didn’t bother with it and haven’t had any issues — in fact, this baby has easily provided the best rebounding experience we’ve had.

We love how sturdy it feels, the excellent tension and the fact that you can grip the handle and it keeps you centred, so you can really go to town bouncing without having to worry about losing your footing. It adds a layer of stability and safety without negatively impacting your efforts, so that’s a big win for us.

Wanna take your cardio up a notch? This bungee offering is slightly more pricey than Decathlon’s entry-level mini trampoline models but not by toooo much, and the stability handle keeps your workout on track when your mind wanders and you’re at risk of bouncing off elsewhere.

There are 24 bungee cords for an excellent — but basically silent — bounce, so no need to worry about neighbour complaints.

Strong and durable, with a smooth bounce surface and quiet springs — and all this for less than £100. The legs fold away for simple storage, so you can tuck it under a bed/the sofa when not in use — but we fully advocate for bouncing while bingeing the latest MAFS.

The cover is super durable a tear-resistant, plus the designers have cleverly increased the bouncing space by using a smaller spring cover. We highly recommend.

The real drawcard here, especially for those with injuries (or downstairs neighbours), is that a mini trampoline for adults absorbs the impact of your body’s movement against the surface.

‘On a harder surface, that impact would travel up your legs,’ says Dr Farrell. This means all of the cardio endorphins, with none of the shin splints or knee pain.

According to ((BOUNCE)) founder and trainer Kimberlee Perry, the trampoline mat absorbs over 80% of the impact on landing. ‘It’s also really beneficial internally, helping to build bone density and improve lymph flow which flushes the body of viruses, toxins, bacteria, waste and dead cells,' she says.

PT and founder of Workshop Gymnasium, Lee Mullins, also points out that trampolines can be particularly beneficial 'in a rehab setting following a lower body injury, to help improve balance, spatial awareness, foot strength and calf strength in the early stages.'

On top of that, trampolining can help to:

If that's your goal, yes — provided you're maintaining a healthy diet and monitoring your daily energy expenditure.

A 2018 study put a group of overweight Italian women on a 12-week rebounding programme that saw ‘significant improvements' in body composition — namely decreased waist circumferences, decreased fat mass, and increased lean and muscular mass.
