Bounce Fitness

I am Donna and I have been bouncing since 2018.  I was introduced to bouncing by way of my daughter, Chloe.  In 2014/2015 she attended a before school kids club and had so much fun bouncing that I took her along to a large event where the company was holding a promotional day.  I liked what I saw however I weighed well over 18 stone at the time so didn’t give it a go (not knowing then that the boots can take up to 21 stone). 

 

For the next two years I really got into exercise – a trampoline rebound class started locally to me.  I started this along with my weight loss and continued for a couple of years.  Fast forward to 2017, I had lost some weight and entered a competition to win a free rebound class wearing the bouncy boots.  I loved it and enquired about training up to become an instructor (I was spending £30 per week for my daughter and I to exercise so thought, why can’t I teach and earn at the same time).

History

In January 2018, I took the bull by the horns and started training.  It took me 3 hours each Monday night to travel to the class, do the class and then travel home, whilst paying for a babysitter for my daughter.  I qualified in May 2018 and held my first class on 15 May 2018 with just 4 friends.  My intention initially was to hold 1-2 classes a week, so I no longer had to pay someone else for my exercise classes but instead, was earning. 

 

In July 2018, I was made redundant from my fulltime office job and had a small pay out.  Therefore, I took the plunge and went full time into my bouncy boots business and bought a set of adults boots and a set of children’s boots.  Since then I have regularly bounced with around 100 adults/children each week (even when Covid hit and I had to revert to online classes). 

 

In 2022, after surviving two years of Covid lockdowns and restrictions, I made the huge decision to go it alone.  I have such a strong backing from regular bouncers who have been with me for over 3 years coupled with a strong desire to see as many people as possible try the wonderful bouncy boots and grow my business.   I am now the fittest I have ever been and just love seeing the smile when people bounce.
