Is this trampoline safe for practicing Gymnastics on?

My daughter is 7 and a level 3 gymnast and she does many move on it that she does in her routines. It makes it safe too with the netting and padding. Not long enough of course for running round offs but can still do short ones.

Yes it is. My daughter is eight and uses it to learn gymnastics moves all the time. Her coach said this trampoline is one of the best for this. You just have to be careful not to do moves you are not ready for, especially any flips.

Our kids are practicing gymnastics on it and love it. I don't think a trampoline is ever completely safe, but this is as close as I feel you can get to a high performance trampoline that is well built and useable for more advanced practice, including for adults.

It seems like so. My girls aren't gymnast but it's big enough, the protective sides are high and sturdy and the progressive bounce double springs make a difference.

It's very hard to answer a question about safety. There is always risk when you use a trampoline, especially when you do gymnastics on it. This trampoline is most probably safer than most round trampolines. It is also much more professional and has much more of a bounce than round trampolines. I bought it for my college athlete daughters who are divers and are used to practicing on trampolines. We are very satisfied with it.

I recommend the pro, it is a high quality trampoline but after long term use I feel it may not last as long.

I think so it is larger that most other kids trampolines. Made for bouncing not doing flips and the like. I have bounced on it myself and it was a work out!

I'm not sure. It know would move around a lot unless you figured out a way to secure it to the floor. I think you should email the seller with your question and the weight of the gymnast.

I'm not sure what your question is but we do own this trampoline. My youngest daughter has been involved in gymnastics and has loved it - it's also her place of "refuge" when she wants to think! It is very sturdy - we have had to replace some of the posts and the net when a storm tore it from the ground. (order@1800trampoline.com) After that we also purchased the straps that you can use to anchor it down - very essential. It's large and very sturdy - she can do her back flips and all kinds of gymnastics moves!

I would say no. The trampoline itself is pretty tight so not a lot of give. This is a great thing. We have three of these now in three different households of grand kids. They all love them!

I just got this Trampoline last week and I'm really enjoying it. It is firm with a good bounce and no your do not pronate while jumping on it.

I have had not problem with the Trampoline. My grandchildren love jumping on it!

It might be hard enough, but I would be afraid you would lose too much bounce, as it will likely deaden the jump, Also, the mat is relatively tall, so the rope would probably catch too much. Good luck!

Yes. It is very safe, my kids love it, and it is a good exercise for the kids and me. I will recomend to find somebody to install it, that is if your husband is not very handy, like mine. :-(

Absolutely. It's probably the best mats you can buy short of true gymnastic mats. I've used them for years in both a small membership gym and one of my personal training studios.

I bought it for my 9 year old daughter to practice her gymnastic routines. My 12 year old daughter uses it as well. It is well built as I have to admit I have been on it and I am 6' 2" and over 200 lbs. I think it is a great investment for anyone doing gymnastics or cheer.

Yes, if the tension is too loose for you it's convenience to switch to a higher tension. The higher the individual's weight the higher the tension must be to prevent the trampoline from bottoming out. So far, I really like it :)

Well instead of springs, it has bands, so I would say it is safer than your average trampoline. So like any bit of exercise equipment, if they're using it, you should be supervising. I would just make sure that you go over the warnings with them and make sure they understand is for their safety. If you feel like they wouldn't understand or listen to you, don't get it.

Yeah! It's a little stiff but I think it would work great for gymnastics. Its really supportive. I used to do all star cheer and it worked great for me.

I have no idea how "bouncy" a gymnast needs a trampoline to be, but I can say that we've had 400, maybe 500lbs all on the trampoline at the same time with no problems.

I would not buy again. Net never stayed closed. I have seen thicker gauge steel. My daughter broke her ankle jumping on it. Will never get any kind of trampoline again. The American academy of pediatrics thinks they are one of the most dangerous items for children. Good luck.
