Investing in a Premium Quality Trampoline Is Worth It in the UAE

Premium quality trampoline in the UAE

The choice between a cheap trampoline and a premium one can be a significant decision. While it might be tempting to opt for a lower-priced option, investing in a premium quality trampoline in the UAE can offer numerous benefits that make it a superior choice in the long run. In this blog post, we’ll explore why spending more on a trampoline is a wise decision for UAE residents.

Durability:

One of the key advantages of investing in a premium trampoline is its durability. Cheap trampolines are often made with inferior materials that can wear out quickly, especially in the harsh climate of the UAE. Premium trampolines, on the other hand, are built to last, with sturdy frames and high-quality springs that can withstand the test of time and provide years of enjoyment for your family.

Safety:

Safety should always be a top priority when it comes to trampolines. This is especially important in a country like the UAE where outdoor activities are popular. Premium trampolines are designed with safety in mind, with features such as reinforced safety nets, padded springs, and sturdy frames that reduce the risk of accidents and injuries. Investing in a high-quality trampoline can give you peace of mind knowing that your loved ones are safe while having fun.

Better Bounce:

The bounce quality of a trampoline is crucial for an enjoyable experience. Cheap trampolines often have inconsistent bounce, which can be frustrating and even dangerous. Premium trampolines, are engineered to provide a smooth and consistent bounce, thanks to their high-quality springs and superior design. This ensures a fun and exhilarating jumping experience every time.

Warranty and Customer Support:

Another advantage of investing in a premium trampoline is the warranty and customer support that often comes with it. Most high-end trampoline brands offer generous warranties that cover manufacturing defects and other issues, giving you added peace of mind. Additionally, premium brands typically have excellent customer support. If you ever have any questions or concerns, you can easily get the help you need.

Long-Term Cost Savings:

While a premium trampoline may have a higher upfront cost, it can actually save you money in the long run. Cheap trampolines often need frequent repairs and replacements, which can add up over time. A high-quality trampoline, on the other hand, is built to last. This means you won’t have to worry about replacing it anytime soon. Additionally, the superior performance and durability of a premium trampoline can lead to fewer injuries and accidents, saving you money on medical bills. Additionally, replacement parts are often available for premium quality trampolines, either covered by warranty or to purchase.

In conclusion, while it may be tempting to opt for a cheap trampoline, investing in a premium trampoline is a smarter choice in the long run. With their durability, safety features, superior bounce, warranty, and long-term cost savings, premium trampolines offer unbeatable value for UAE residents looking for a high-quality outdoor recreational experience.

The Scandinavian heritage of safety, quality, innovation and design inspired the North Trampoline brand. This leading trampoline brand is now available to purchase in the UAE. Jump Fitness Dubai is the exclusive distributor of North Trampoline in the UAE.

Trampoline weight limit and why they are important

Trampoline weight limit explained

Just before stepping onto a trampoline, have you ever wondered about its weight limit?

Jumping on a trampoline is a wonderful, fun activity. However, there are some considerations you should take before buying and using one and its weight limit is one of them!

You don’t want your trampoline to break and you certainly don’t want your children to break! Before you step onto the trampoline to join your kids or allow more than one child to jump together you need to think about the trampoline weight limit. Here we explain why its an important consideration.

This article looks at:

  • What happens if you go over the weight limit on a trampoline?
  • Why is it important to know weight limits
  • Why do we need a weight limit on a trampoline?
  • Factors affecting the weight limit

What happens if you go over the weight limit?

If you go over the weight limit on a trampoline, you could damage the trampoline’s mat and springs/bungee cords, causing the whole equipment to break. This may cause injury to anyone using the trampoline at the time of breakage. Additionally, an overloaded trampoline may be more difficult to jump on, which could also lead to falls and injuries.

Even if the trampoline doesn’t break immediately, consistently overloading the equipment may cause extensive wear and tear on the springs/bungee cords and the mat, decreasing the trampoline’s overall lifespan. You might have to keep on replacing the broken parts, which can be quite expensive.

 

Why is it important to know weight limits

Trampolines have a weight limit because the frame and mat can only support so much weight before they become damaged or break.

North Trampolines that we stock at Jump Fitness Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, have a recommended single-user weight of 110kg (242lbs), and they are safety tested up to 750kg (1,650lbs)

Although we always advise that there should only be one person jumping on the trampoline at any one time, we do understand that there may be times when several people get on the trampoline together.

In these situations, when there is more than one person on the trampoline, the combined weight of each person should not exceed the official recommendations. This is particularly important, in situations where more than one person bounces hard, at the same time.  Therefore, not only does knowing the maximum weight limit become important from a safety aspect, but it also helps you to make informed decisions before you buy a trampoline.

Why do we need a weight limit on a trampoline?

You might be wondering why that if we’ve got some of the most sturdy, reliable trampolines in the industry, why are we so conscious of weight limits? Let us explain why.

Safety

 

Safety is the top reason for a weight limit on a trampoline. Exceeding the weight limit set by the manufacturer is a major safety concern.  If the trampoline is overloaded, it could collapse, which could cause injuries.

Longevity

No one wants their trampoline to break after just a few years.  If you follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and treat your trampoline well, then it will last you longer.

Meet industry standards

When a manufacturer tests for and sets a weight limit they are abiding by industry standards.  CE and ASTM European industry standards require the manufacturer to inform buyers of the trampoline weight limit, i.e. how much weight a trampoline can hold. This is why trampoline weight limits are advised in the user manual.

In order for the trampoline warranty to remain valid, it is important for the user not to exceed the recommended user limit set by the manufacturer.

Factors affecting the weight limit

There are a number of factors that are taken into consideration when determining the weight capacity trampolines can tolerate.

The factors used to determine the average trampoline weight limit include the size and type, the materials used in its construction, and the intended use.

Size and shape

The size and shape are the main factors that will determine the weight of the jumpers. A smaller trampoline will typically have a lower weight limit than a larger one. In most cases, the bigger the trampoline, the higher the weight capacity it will have. Often, the rectangular shape is able to carry more weight, principally because springs are closer to the central bounce area. Because the springs are nearer, the stiffness doesn’t need to be as strong either.

Material

The materials used to make the trampoline can also affect the weight it can withstand. For instance, a trampoline meant for a heavier person will have more robust springs and a thicker steel frame. Even the jumping pad will have fewer stitching rows. As a rule of thumb, the better the quality of a materials the trampoline is made with the more weight it will be able to take.

Intended Use

The intended use of the trampoline can also play a role in determining its weight limit. For example, trampolines designed for recreational use typically have a lower weight limit than those designed for competitive use.

Weight limits on North Trampolines available at Jump Fitness Dubai, United Arab Emirates

3.6m / 12ft North Explorer Round – 110kg
4.2m / 14fNorth Explorer Round -110kg
3.5mx x2.45m (12ft x 8ft) North Explorer Oval -110kg

Buying a Trampolines in the UAE: what should I look for?

Premium trampoline Palm Dubai

Are you thinking of buying a trampoline in the UAE?  With so many different brands, shapes and sizes on the market, it can be hard to know which one to choose.

To make the decision easier, we have put together a list of things you may want to consider when purchasing a trampoline. Keep these in mind as you shop, and you’ll be sure to find the perfect choice of trampoline in the UAE.

Who is it for & how will it be used?

Before buying a trampoline in the UAE its important to ask: “who’s it for and how will it be used?” If your answer isn’t clear, then take some time and think about who will be using this equipment. Some trampolines, like the Explorer  from North, can grow with your family, making them the perfect choice for a growing family as well as more advanced teens.

Quality & Price

Of course, the price of a trampoline will be a major deciding factor. Generally, the higher the quality of the trampoline the more expensive it is.  If you can spend more on a higher quality trampoline, you can save yourself money in the long run.  For extra durability, opt for a frame made from steel and pads that have been UV treated.    Cheaper trampolines will not last as long, particularly in the harsh summer sun like we experience in the UAE. Check you can get replacement parts with any trampoline you chose, even the most robust netting might need replacing after several years.

Some trampolines sold in the UAE have delivery and installation included in the sale price, like those supplied from Jump Fitness Dubai, whilst others do not. Check you are getting everything you need included in the price you pay.

Trampoline Bounce

The bounce is one of the most important features of a trampoline.  The bounce can come from either springs, flexible composite rods or bungee cords.

Spring-fitted trampolines have stretched canvas  attached to metal coil springs. The springs create tension which affects how high the bounce is. To put it another way, the quality of the springs on your trampoline will determine how high the bounce will be. A larger spring will allow a smoother, higher bounce, whilst a shorter spring results in a stiffer and much lower and restricted bounce.

Spring-less trampolines that use fiberglass rods or bungee cords, require a high degree of force to generate a good return bounce. This means a good, high bounce is more difficult to achieve, particularly for children.

Small children need a softer bounce, and heavier, or more experienced jumpers often want a slightly harder bounce. North Trampolines are available in the UAE and allow you to combine the two options in one trampoline with the use of spring extenders.  You can start off with the spring extenders attached, this offers a soft bounce and then remove them as the child gets older and has different needs.

Assembly       

Think about how much effort you want to put into your trampoline setup. Some designs take hours to put up and might require professional assembly.  Others, like the ones from North Trampolines, can be quickly put up, thanks to the zero-bolt mechanism.

Jumping Mat

If you expect to use your trampoline a lot or you live in an area with variable or extreme weather conditions, such as the heat we experience here in the UAE,  then you might want to purchase a high-quality jumping mat.

Safety Padding

These cover the springs of the trampoline.  Completely covering the springs ensures that  fingers, toes, or hair from do not get caught and injured. It is important that this pad fits perfectly over the edges of the trampoline and padding in case someone lands on top of it.  The best quality trampolines have the padding secured in place to prevent accidental movement when the jumpers are using the trampoline.

Shape

Trampolines come in different shapes, including; oval, round, square, and rectangles. Choose the best one to suit the user and the space you have allocated in the garden.

Oval trampolines: have a larger surface area, allowing for a larger and longer jump. They redirect the jumper to the middle of the trampoline. Great for gymnasts and practicing tricks. The oval and rectangle shapes are perfect for side return spaces.

Round trampolines: A round trampoline bounces the jumper towards the middle and bounciest part of the trampoline.

Square trampolines: these allow the jumper to jump from corner to corner and provide more bounce than either the round or the oval-shaped trampolines.

Rectangle trampolines: the best by far in terms of bounce and highly recommended for athletic and acrobatic practice.

Safety

A safely built trampoline vastly reduces the potential for injuries when bouncing. We believe the following safety features are essential inclusions for any trampoline bought in the UAE:

A safety net: a robust net greatly reduces the chance of falling off and frame impact injuries. Particularly important on any lifted off the ground trampoline.
The Frame: a sturdy frame will provide stability and bounce control. The frame near the jump area should be covered in padding.
Padding: a quality padding that covers the spring, frames and any hard part of the trampoline will protect the jumper. Padding is held securely in place which allows the springs to be covered at all times.
Entry and Exit point: ensuring this is secure and not left open minimizes the risk of falls whilst jumping.

Weight limit

Consider the maximum weight limit the trampoline has been tested for. Will it support the total weight of the people who will use it?

We believe North Trampolines offer the perfect combination of superior safety, quality and performance. But don’t just believe us, come and see with your own eyes.

10 reasons why a trampoline makes a perfect gift

trampoline holiday gift

Looking for the perfect gift this festive season?  Check out our list of Top 10 reasons why a trampoline makes the perfect gift!

As weather is cooling down and the falling temperatures mark the start of the festive season in the UAE. The countdown is on!  But instead of spending hours and hours trawling the malls for that perfect gift, we’ve got the best solution for you and your family! Now, we might be a little bit biased here at Jump Fitness Dubai, but we believe that a trampoline makes the perfect gift that you can give and receive at Christmas.  Or, in fact, at any time!

Read on to find out why

1. Safe, Family Fun

Have you ever noticed that when parents aren’t around children can get into all kinds of trouble? It seems that children aren’t designed to be so safe at times, but you can rest assured that a North Trampoline is! The North Trampoline’s extensive safety systems minimise possible hazards and eliminate the impact areas most commonly related to trampoline injuries. You will have peace of mind. Not only will the kids will be having fun, but they will also be as safe as they can possibly be whilst bouncing on a North Trampoline.

2. Years of Fun Guaranteed

Are you getting tired of your kids receiving gifts and then forgetting about them a few weeks later? Or even worse, opening the gift and just playing with the packaging? Or even worse still, opening the gift and then never opening the packaging? A trampoline is the one gift that will for sure spark some genuine enthusiasm and will be played with for years to come. The fun, laughter and giggles that will come from your trampoline will really bring meaning to the joy of giving! Trampolines are so much fun! Trampolines encourage children to laugh, jump, bounce and play. They encourage creativity and imagination and help children to enjoy simply being children.

A North Trampoline comes with spring extenders. This means that the jumping mat can be adjusted to suit your family’s size, weight and ability. Your trampoline can grow along with your family.  A trampoline makes the perfect gift that will stay with you for years. The trampolines have been designed to last, using only the highest quality materials. You and your family can safely play outside for hours on end, wherever you are in the UAE.

3. Trampoline is a Healthy Activity

Health and fitness is important to all of us, but it is essential for children. They have growing bodies and extra energy to burn.  Trampolines are the perfect way for your family to do exercise. And because it is so much fun you might just find you actually do more than you thought you would!  Just 15 minutes of trampolining a day can improve overall posture, balance and coordination. Trampolining also increases flexibility and encourages bilateral motor skills. It also encourages gross motor skill development.

If your child is reluctant to start a physical activity or sport, trampolining is the perfect way to kick-start some movement. It is easy and fun and children don’t often realise, they are actually exercising!

4. Trampoline Burn Off Some Energy!

I’m sure you will agree, that sometimes it seems like a child’s energy will just go on and on forever? Trying to find a never-ending supply of activities to take them to, in order to burn off that energy can leave us parents exhausted! That’s why getting them a trampoline for the garden is the perfect solution! Rather than driving them around Dubai or your Emirate to another activity, get them jumping on a trampoline in the garden and they’ll be busy burning off that energy for hours!  For added fun attach a North Trampoline basketball hoop to your trampoline!

After all that bouncing, bed time will be extra easy!

5. Supports Learning

Studies show that regular physical activity supports a child’s brain development by improving memory, concentration and an overall positive outlook. Research has shown that there is a direct impact on behaviour and development of the brain with kids who exercised for 15-30 minutes before school. As a result the children were less distracted and more attentive to schoolwork.

Let kids jump on the trampoline in the morning before school. The jumping will wake up their mind and body, and get them ready for learning.

6. Fuel their Imagination

Another reason why a trampoline makes the perfect gift this Christmas or holiday season is that trampolines can be used for so many things other than just jumping. Children can let their imagination run wild and that lovely cosy, enclosed space seems to encourage them just to do that.

We have had have sleep-overs, movie nights, a hair dressing salon, water balloons…. The list goes on and on and the possibilities are endless.

7. Boost their Self Esteem and Improve Mental Health

Trampolines are a wonderful tool to help children gain self-esteem and overall positive mental health. Exercise reduces stress levels and helps improve your state of mind. This is because it releases endorphins and other positivity chemicals in the brain. That combined with the added benefits of all the fun and games you can have on a trampoline only helps promote positive mental health.

Jumping on a trampoline can also be great for building a child’s confidence. The simple task of mastering a new trick or learning a new jump can improve confidence. This confidence can, in turn, help in everyday life.

8. Perfect gift for Playdates

Do your children sometimes forget what to do when they have their friends over? Despite a room full of toys and things to keep them entertained, you probably hear cries of “we have nothing to do!”  With a trampoline you will have the perfect solution to keep them entertained for hours on end, the added bonus being they will be outside in the fresh air! Major parenting points! Plus, you will be able to, hand on heart, tell their parents they didn’t even touch an electrical device! Trampoline makes the perfect gift.

9. Trampoline are Great for the Entire Family

Kids obviously love to jump on trampolines, but adults can get in on the action too! Trampoline jumping is the perfect activity to include in your exercise routine. Bouncing can provide stress relief whilst you jump. Or you can turn being on the trampoline into an outdoor activity for the whole family. Get started and set each other challenges, like who can do the most jumps in a minute, or who can learn to do a flip first.

It’s great fun and the perfect gift for the whole family.

10. Perfect Addition to your Exercise Routine

Getting tired of hitting the gym and want to add a bit of fresh air to your fitness routine?  Just like walking, jogging and cycling, trampolining is aerobic in nature and works your cardiovascular system. Plus, it decreases your heart rate and blood pressure. Research shows that jumping on the trampoline is very similar to the energy expenditure of running. The extra bonus being it doesn’t damage to the joints like high-impact exercise does.

Plus let’s be honest, trampolining is so much fun! A Trampoline makes the perfect gift.
