While there are several trampoline parks for children that are functional only on weekends, there are at least two big parks that are open to all age groups and can accommodate 200-400 people at a time. And these are full even on weekdays.
Winnie Jasper, a student, visits trampoline parks whenever he wants to exercise. “If you are a beginner and want to burn some calories, trampoline parks are a great place to start. The fun part is that you don’t even realise that you are working out your leg, core, glute and back muscles. Just jumping on a trampoline is equivalent to a fully pumped up high-intensity interval training (HIIT). The monthly and quarterly passes at the park I visit is cheaper than gyms in the city. So, whenever I am bored of lifting dumbbells and dead weights, I come here and have fun,” he said.
Considered a low-impact exercise, trampoline jumping can build strength, heart health and stability.
Vamsi Kumar, a fintech employee, recounted his experience at a trampoline park. “I went because my friends insisted on trying the place out. At first I was sceptical, but after spending an hour in the park, my perspective changed. It is so much fun and as a group, the excitement just multiplies. It feels like doing cardio for an hour but having fun doing so.”
Sujeeth Naik, venue head of Bounce trampoline park in Bengaluru, said the place is packed every day. “We have all age groups visiting us and having fun on weekdays and weekends. A few of our customers have availed yearly passes and come here whenever they want to replace their boring gym workouts.”
Naik confirmed that birthday parties are a big thing in the park and they’ve had several bookings for the same. Parents look for different and unique places to celebrate their children’s birthday while ensuring safety, he added.
Mohan, manager of SkyJumper trampoline park, said in the initial days, they had very few visitors. “But as news spread, footfall increased. On weekends, we are literally out of space. People have started loving the park; we have customers who visit us almost every week.”
