Hex Fitness is our rebounder range — studio-grade trampolines built for class timetables rather than garden use, plus a small number of commercial strength pieces. If you are equipping a rebounding class floor in South Africa, this is the range written for that job rather than adapted to it.
What the Hex Fitness range covers
The range covers studio trampolines and rebounders, sold as singles and in multi-unit packages, alongside selected commercial strength equipment.
Why rebounding earns floor space
Rebounding sits in an unusual spot among conditioning formats. It loads the legs and core hard while keeping impact off the knees, hips and ankles, because the mat absorbs the landing that a floor would otherwise transmit straight up the leg.
That combination is why it holds up in group class timetables where members attend several times a week, and why it appears in rehabilitation settings where running is off the table but conditioning is not. It also scales well across fitness levels in the same room — the intensity is set by how hard the individual works, not by a resistance setting the instructor has to manage.
For a studio, the practical argument is throughput per square metre. A rebounder occupies a small, fixed footprint, needs no electrical supply, requires almost no maintenance beyond the mat and cords, and can be stacked or wheeled out of the way for a different class format. Few pieces of class equipment earn their space that efficiently.
Studio rebounders versus consumer units
The difference is real and it sits in two places: the mat tension system and the frame weld.
Studio units are specified for multiple users a day at full bodyweight, session after session. The cord or spring system is designed to be re-tensioned and replaced, the frame welds are built for repeated loading, and the stability under an off-centre landing is what keeps a class safe when someone lands badly.
Consumer units are specified for one person a few times a week. Put one on a class floor and the mat tension goes first, usually within months, and the frame follows. It is the clearest false economy in the whole studio equipment category, and we would rather talk you out of it now than replace it for you later.
We stock these in multi-unit packages because that is how studios buy them — a class needs a matched set, not a mixed collection of whatever was available.
Setting up a rebounding class floor
Spacing is the first thing to get right. Each rebounder needs clearance on all sides for arm movements and for a member stepping off mid-class, not just the diameter of the unit itself.
Ceiling height matters more here than in most class formats, because members are airborne. Measure to the lowest obstruction — light fittings, beams, air conditioning ducts — and allow for the tallest member jumping, not standing.
Flooring underneath protects the slab and reduces noise transfer to rooms below, which is a common complaint in multi-storey buildings. See gym flooring and exercise mats for what we stock.
Storage decides whether the room can be used for anything else. Confirm whether the units stack or fold before committing the space.
Common questions
How many rebounders do I need for a class? Match the unit count to your class cap, then add one spare — a damaged mat should never cancel a session. Tell us the class size and we will quote the set rather than the item.
Is rebounding suitable for older or injured members? That is much of its appeal. Impact stays low while cardiovascular and lower-body demand stays high, which is why it turns up in rehab programmes. Members with balance concerns should use a unit with a stability bar.
How often do mats need replacing? On a busy class floor, plan on periodic re-tensioning and eventual mat replacement as a running cost, not a fault. That is exactly why studio units are built with replaceable parts and consumer ones are not.
