We provide an intense cardiovascular workout that incorporates plyometric muscle training (explosive body weight resistance using speed and force to enhance muscle performance). Common examples of this would be running, jumping, and other fast and powerful muscle movements that involve quick expansion and contraction of the muscle groups involved.

The bungee significantly reduces the impact of these movements to minimize strain on joints, particularly the back, knees, and ankles. The bungee also forces you to work muscles in new ways. For example, when performing a squat the bungee allows you to pull yourself down with your legs instead of letting gravity do most of the work, and then resist your bungee on the upstroke. Core engagement comes from maintaining position in the harness, especially during the more explosive movements. There is an additional finesse element of training to develop by focusing on correct form in the movements This provides a mental challenge in addition to the psychomotor challenge of the workout. We find this latter part often appeals to those with backgrounds in martial arts, dance, or cheer. Lastly, there is a "fun" element to the supported explosive movements which keeps your workout from becoming boring as some may find in repetitive weight workouts or stationary cardio equipment.

Our equipment does place the following restrictions for in-bungee workouts: Participants must be 18+ years (16+ training alongside parent), between 90 and 250lbs, no pregnancy, and no recent surgery or major medical concerns without doctor approval. For those outside the weight restrictions we do have Out of Bungee classes that can help you meet your fitness goals. Please feel free to contact us directly on any of these points. Any students over 6’4” should consider meeting with us before scheduling classes to ensure our equipment can accommodate them.

As with any workout, its about what effort you put into it. Its possible to go to a traditional gym and push the machines without any effort and leave feeling unfulfilled just as we recognize some will come to Bungee for the novelty of the FLY but not stick around or challenge themselves. We welcome everyone to try, but also encourage all to get the most they can from our content. We provide a workout and environment to challenge you physically through putting intensity into movement and focusing on working the bungee instead of bouncing, and the cognitive challenge of understanding and ensuring proper form and technique, much like in martial arts, to maximize results and provide ongoing challenge.

…and yes. Its fun to FLY. That is what keeps our students engaged!

A positive attitude and a desire to challenge yourself are number one. Beyond that we encourage you to bring water in a secure bottle. Recommended clothing is snug bottoms such as leggings. We will provide padding options and many students get good results by wearing a pair of yoga shorts under leggings for additional padding. A longer top is recommended. Crop tops or bare midriff are discouraged because the bungee harness on bare skin can be uncomfortable. Athletic shoes with good traction are a must.
