High-quality materials and superior American workmanship combine to bring you the top quality, Needak® rebounder.

Dr. Morton Walker describes the perfect rebounder in his article, “Jumping For Health”:

Specifications for the Perfect Rebounder

"No one manufacturer has a lock on the market for rebounders, but some are better manufactured than others. It's best, perhaps, to purchase your exercise unit directly from the manufacturer.

Most important for excellent rebounding is the mat material. It should give no stretch during the downward landing, while at the same time providing a resilient rebound. Such a mat will be made from Permatron® material, which has a smooth finish. The Permatron® is resistant to ultraviolet rays, doesn't break down as do other fabrics, and allows no moisture absorption. Part of the specifications for a perfect rebounder is that its mat will be sewn together using 5760 stitches of high-grade nylon thread with two layers of strong polypropylene webbing stitched around the mat's edges.

Albert Earl Carter Bio

Albert Earl Carter, founder of AIR, Inc., is the pioneer of Rebound Exercise
and the Lead Designerof the best-built, most innovative rebounders on the planet.
Carter attended both Oklahoma State University and the University of Utah with full scholarships in wrestling. He qualified twice for Olympic wrestling competition, and won all-around gymnastic champion in the states of Montana, Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Arkansas.

Sponsored by the Marriott Corporation, Carter’s “Gymnastic Fantastic” professional trampoline team gave over 500 performances to more than 500,000 spectators in 1974 and 1975. Carter trained his own children on the trampoline and placed them in the show as well. He was amazed to observe their remarkable endurance gains, dramatic coordination improvements, and accelerated mental development.

Recognizing that his family’s exceptionally good health, superior strength, and other benefits were connected to his work on the trampoline, Carter set out to discover the positive effects of rebounding on the human body. His research resulted in the start of a new industry, the book Rebound To Better Health, 1977, and the development of the first home-sized rebounder “Dyna-Bound”. His second book The Miracles of Rebound Exercise, published in 1979, became a national Health and Fitness 1.3 million best-seller.

Rebounding was the springboard for Carter’s thirst for knowledge regarding good health. “The Healthy Cell Concept,” presented in his next books The New Miracles of Rebound Exercise and The Cancer Answer, is the result of over a decade of research on all the components necessary for perfect health. (More information on the Healthy Cell Concept can be found here.)

As a lecturer and educator, Carter has shared his findings on health and rebound exercise all over the world. In 1983, by special invitation of the Hong Kong government, Carter taught 35,000 members of the country’s police and fire departments about the Healthy Cell Concept and the benefits of rebounding. Since that time, he has also presented to numerous medical groups worldwide and has appeared on national television in the U.S., Australia, Hong Kong, and the Philippines.

Today, Carter is recognized as the world's greatest authority on rebound exercise.

There are 30 health advantages of regular rebounding, including the following:

1. It increases the capacity for respiration.

2. It circulates more oxygen to the tissues.

3. It establishes a better equilibrium between the oxygen required by the tissues and the oxygen made available.

4. It causes muscles to perform work in moving fluids through the body to lighten the heart's load.

5. It tends to reduce the height to which the arterial pressures rise during exertion.

6. It lessens the time during which blood pressure remains abnormal after severe activity.

7. It holds off the incidence of cardiovascular disease.

8. It increases the functional activity of the red bone marrow in the production of red blood cells.

9. It aids lymphatic circulation, as well as the flow in the veins of the circulatory system.

10. It encourages collateral circulation.

11. It strengthens the heart and other muscles in the body so that they work more efficiently.

12. It allows the resting heart to beat less often.

13. It lowers elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

14. It stimulates the metabolism.

15. It promotes body growth and repair.

16. It tones up the glandular system, especially the thyroid to increase its output.

17. It adds to the alkaline reserve of the body which may be of significance in an emergency requiring prolonged effort.

18. It chemically attains absolute potential of the cells.

19. It reserves bodily strength and physical efficiency.

20. It expands the body's capacity for fuel storage and endurance.

21. It improves coordination through the transmission of nerve impulses and responsiveness of the muscle fibers.

22. It affords muscular vigor from increased muscle fiber tone.

23. It offers relief from neck and back pains, headaches, and other pain caused by lack of exercise.

What is the difference between the Needak ® rebounder and others?

Needak ® is a manufacturer of rebounders -- and rebounders are the ONLY thing we manufacture. Models available through discount stores or marketing/promotion companies are imported. We have control over all aspects of production -- they get the most inexpensive model they can (Generally quality is not an issue with marketers, only price).

Needak ® insists on producing the highest quality rebounder. Our price may be a few dollars more, but you get a rebounder that will provide many years of service and is more gentle on your body. If it doesn't have the Needak label on it, you can be almost 100% certain it is an Asian import.

Why is your Soft-bounce spring better than other types of springs for rebounding?

Needak ® Mfg. innovated the Soft-Bounce ™ spring which absorbs as much as 85% of the impact of each bounce. This is due to the unique barrel shape of the spring. The diameter of the coils increases as you move toward the center of the spring.

There are generally 2 types of springs found on imported rebounders. The classic spring found on low-end imported rebounders is a shorter spring and tends to be very stiff. A few imports use a spring that looks like our Soft-Bounce ™ spring.

Fact: Springs will break. Common sense tells you that if you flex metal, it will eventually break. We do not make exaggerated or unfounded claims about our springs. It would surprise you how many people come to us for springs and relate stories of dissatisfaction with marketing companies who told them things such as, "Our springs never break, that is why we don't carry them in stock. You obviously misused your rebounder to cause breakage." If you leave a rebounder in the closet and never use it, you won't break springs. If you get the benefits out of a rebounder, spring replacement is an inexpensive maintenance item.
