Bounce your way to fitness at new trampoline facility

“You’ve got to find your bounce,” says Greg Campbell, the experience manager at Bounce, a new indoor trampoline park in Al Quoz, as I put on a pair of rainbow-coloured gel gripper socks.

And, as if on cue, the chorus of the 1992 hip-hop number Jump Around by House of Pain starts playing in my head. For that is what you do at Bounce, for as long as you can: jump up, jump up and get down – on repeat.

Setting myself to that track takes me through the next half an hour of a demo run at the Australian-based indoor activities centre, which opened its first Dubai offshoot yesterday.

The 20,000-square-feet, horseshoe-shaped warehouse space-turned-trampoline park has about 82 wall-to-wall trampolines, which took about two months to set up. The park is divided into a free jump area with 52 trampolines for freestyle, a dodgeball court, an airbag-fitted section and a performance area with five Olympic-grade trampolines and a wall. There are also 45-degree trampolines against walls to jump off. “There aren’t too many credible hangout sports venues for teenagers in Dubai,” says Doran Davies, the chief operations officer for Bounce. “So we thought of bringing a venue that promotes fun while pushing for a culture of sports, which is on the rise here.”
