What is Trampoline?

A trampoline is a recreational and fitness apparatus consisting of a sturdy, elastic mat secured to a robust steel frame, typically using springs or advanced bungee cords. Designed to propel users into the air, trampolines offer both recreational fun and a highly effective method of exercise.

The trampoline as we know it today originated in the early 20th century. In 1936, American gymnast George Nissen and his coach Larry Griswold developed the modern trampoline, inspired by circus performers and acrobats who bounced on safety nets. Initially used primarily for gymnastics and competitive sports, trampolines quickly became popular worldwide as people discovered their numerous fitness benefits and sheer enjoyment.

In recent years, trampolines have seen soaring popularity in Australia, embraced by adults and children alike. Aussies value trampolining for its health benefits, including improved cardiovascular fitness, low-impact joint protection, effective weight loss, and increased lymphatic circulation. The trend toward home fitness, coupled with the desire for fun family activities, has made trampolines—particularly fitness rebounders like the Vitalizer—a must-have item in households across Australia.

At Vitalizer Rebounder, we proudly offer Australians the best trampolines to enhance health, fitness, and fun—right in the comfort of your home.

History of Vitalizer

Vitalizer has a rich heritage in Australia’s health and fitness community, largely thanks to its founder, Douglas McCoy. From 1981 to 1983, Douglas introduced Australia and New Zealand to rebound exercise using mini trampolines. Bringing the first rebounder units into Australia directly from Las Vegas, Douglas quickly popularised this innovative fitness approach nationwide.

Douglas's visionary efforts transformed rebound exercise into a household fitness revolution. With over 6,500 trained sales staff across Australia, the Vitalizer rebounder soon became a familiar feature in countless Australian homes. Douglas’s dynamic aerobics classes, engaging public seminars, and extensive media appearances—including features on TV, radio, and magazines like Vogue—solidified his reputation as the leading expert and promoter of rebound exercise across Australia, New Zealand, the USA, and the UK.

In 1982 and 1983, Douglas was invited as a guest speaker to the prestigious Vital World Health and Fitness Conventions in Las Vegas, where he qualified as a Certified Aerobic Fitness Instructor. Subsequently, Douglas hosted Aerobic Classes all over Australia, establishing the world’s largest rebounder-focused fitness gym in Smithfield, Sydney, equipped with over 200 Vitalizer rebounders.

Douglas also actively supported the sporting community. He sponsored major sporting events, including the renowned 1983 NSW Bodybuilding Championships, and coached numerous elite athletes, including Mr Australia strongman champion Billy Knight, Miss Australia, and various other sports champions. Each champion he trained used Douglas McCoy’s signature Vitalizer Rebounder as a core part of their fitness and competition preparation.

Today, Vitalizer continues its legacy, committed to delivering exceptional fitness and wellness through innovative trampoline technology, inspired by the pioneering work of Douglas McCoy.

This is the most fun I’ve ever had exercising. My knees used to hurt from running, but now I bounce every morning. It folds up and slides under my bed!

I cancelled my gym membership. This rebounder gives me cardio, toning, and lymphatic drainage all in one. Plus, it’s silent, so I can train while the baby sleeps.
