Has Anyone used this for Lacrosse training? Lacrosse rebounders seem to be 2 to 3 times more expensive for some reason.

I'm sorry I don't have an answer, but came online with the exact same question. I'm curious what you ended up deciding...

We actually use it as a back stop for our basketball goal. I believe it would be strong enough for a lacrosse back stop. Good luck!

I am the equipment manager for our soccer association, so I did not use them personally. They are small...used for u10 and under. They were not large enough for our Senior teams or even u13 for that matter. They seemed to hold up pretty well though.

It was designed for soccer. You might* be able to get away with using it for lax however I have reservations: The height: check the stats on the tekk website it's wider than it is tall. The net: it is very strong and will rebound a soccer ball. However lax ball is has less area because it's a smaller ball size. I would see about try to see one up close/physically before dropping 300+ on this.

I've owned my Cellerciser for years now. So obviously I don't have a "2014" model, but at the time of purchase I remember wondering if Amazon was selling the "latest" model. So I called the Cellerciser company with my concerns. They assured me that there was no reason to be concerrned that Amazon might be selling "old" models. I haven't heard anything about a "new and improved" 2014 model. But my sister just purchased a Cellerciser last month, directly from the Cellerciser company. If there is a new model out there, they should be selling it. I can tell you that my sister's rebounder looks exactly the same as mine. When I used hers, the mat felt slightly firmer than mine when I was standing still, but when bouncing it felt exactly the same as mine. Iuse my Cellersiser daily so that might account for the difference in the feel of the mat. New or old you can't go wrong with a Cellerciser I've never had an issue with mine, and I still love it.

My father and I were also puzzled by the box and manual, so we used our best judgement to place the bungees. We used them all and tried to space them evenly (of course not perfectly), and at first I was afraid that by using them all the net would be too tight and thus would break. But since I've put it to use, there have been absolutely no tightness problems. One thing, though, I would say is that the hard, plastic part of the bungees should be behind the bars because sometimes the soccer ball will hit the bars, and you won't want it getting damaged by the bungees. Also, I know this doesn't regard your question, but I recommend you get more stakes (the U-shaped metals that hold it down). The 4 that come with it aren't enough. My father got creative and bought some long bars as thin as the stakes and just bent them into a U, but these are a little too long and so they are hard to put into the ground. Hence, I recommend buying some that are already the right size; you can buy them at a sports store. Many times they come in packs with soccer cones, but ask an employee to see if they are sold separately. Lastly, put the stakes on the front bar of the rebounder, not the back, and have fun with this GREAT training tool!

It's worth the cost if you actually use it everyday and commit to stretching. I made progress then became less committed and started back again. I have a friend that uses it daily and he is extremely flexible. He was already more flexible than me, but he pushes himself and actually does use it.

If I use my rebounder at night I can see my reflection in a glass door. I was surprised to see how little extra height is attained. For most rebounding, as one commenter put it, "you don't get a lot of air", maybe a couple of inches.

Kelly, do you work for beachbody or something? These workouts are insane! You didn't even break a sweat?? I just finished Chalean Extreme, a 12 week program training with heavy weights along with some plyometrics, kickboxing, etc. It's a great workout, but that was easy compared to this. I'm no athlete, but I'm in pretty good shape. I totally disagree. BBL is NOT good for a beginner. I sweat bullets when I do this and I'm not a big sweater! Good luck Kat.

All I can tell you is that I wish I had access to a Bowflex when I was 20. Dealing with weights is noisy and dangerous. I used a first generation Bowflex for more than 15 years as a "maintainer". My sons have their own and would support my saying. It is complete even for Abdominals. I decided to replace it - not it was needed- and for one 3rd of the price of my first one I got more. My Blowflex is in my screen porch all year long . It did not suffer being outside.

This is NOT a good net for that.. it is tight and will kick the ball back to the source. I would recommend getting some TCB balls. This is what I use for front toss and I coach 5 teams ages 7-19 they work great and no fear of getting hit/hurt

Hi Carole, I also hadn't used my Pilates for several years. I took a chance and ordered the Stamina Level 2 Integrated DVD a few months back along with the Rebounder. (Unfortunately the Rebounder did not fit my Pilates and I had to send it back) I still remembered most of the workouts so the Level II was fine, I just slowed my workout down a bit until I was up to her speed. However, in order to get the full benefit of the workouts you must have the Rebounder...without the Rebounder the DVD doesn't have enough workouts to make it worthwhile. Hope this helps.

I paid closer to $55 a couple of years ago. It sounds like supply vs demand at work here.The plastic ball return is convenient but not worth the jump in price. By the way, it is extremely sturdy. My son is 4 1/2 and he still plays with it regularly.

I bought one with bands rather than springs for noise sake (lack of noise). I live in a condo and need to do high intensity intervals in the early morning hours without making my neighbors hate me. This one was a trial device. I didn't want to make a huge investment into something I wouldn't want to continue long term. So, the bands started coming loose after about 6 months. I continued fine with two bands gone but had to ditch it when the third came loose. I have since upgraded to a heavier duty band rebounder. A little about my use: I am petite (short) and weigh 120 pounds, but I hammered this trampoline 5 days per week for 30 minute sessions. I did incredibly intense intervals. I highly recommend it if you want to "test". If you already know you will use it long term, then I'd probably go with a higher end model.

not this model, it's for a short action. you want a long action. try academy sports.

I don't know the answer to the second part of your question because I did not look at any other brand besides Needak. I did not compare. I consider Needak the premier brand and simply went for a rebounder from this company.

Kat, if you are 'just' starting to workout then the BBL would be a good starting point. I'm between intermediate and advanced and didn't even break a sweat with it. So definitely wouldn't recommend for anyone BUT beginners.
