The Bounce! grand opening will offer patrons a chance to participate in this new and exciting recreational experience with all proceeds benefiting the charity. “We are beyond thrilled to bring Bounce! to Long
Island and equally excited to be able to support both this very worthy cause with what we hope will be a considerable donation,” declared Danny Fried, co-creator of Bounce! Those wishing to participate can find more
information on the Bounce! websitewww.bounceonit.com.
According to Fried and his partners, the Caplan family of Old Westbury, and Michael Gross of upstate Woodstock, cleanliness and safety are
the top considerations at Bounce! “Our pledge is to keep the facility
immaculate, safe and scrupulously maintained so that every day it looks like it just opened for business,” says General Manager Nick Caplan. He adds that NASA research shows that supervised jumping on trampolines is probably the best physical exercise ever devised, proven to tone muscles, burn fat and reduce stress.
Bounce! will offer fitness classes for all ages and levels, open jump time, trampoline dodgeball, slam dunk basketball, foam pit jumping and both individual and group trampoline training classes taught by qualified instructors. At the Rockland facility, a “Have Fun and Get Fit” program for overweight and/or physically inactive youngsters that registered 25 participants for its first session has been enormously successful, motivating the kids to exercise and establish overall healthier eating and activity habits. Explains Caplan, “we developed an 8-week program that incorporates structured exercise, nutritional counseling and group play and competition. The parents and kids both love the program. The moms say that it’s so much fun the kids don’t think of it as exercise!”
The unique complex has private party rooms for birthdays and corporate team building, a snack bar, a Wi-fi lounge with several large HDTVs and closed circuit monitoring of the athletic courts. There is also a separate Bounce! Jr. Zone where kids ages 6 and under can bounce on their own trampolines, jump into separate foam pits or play on a giant inflatable obstacles courses. Bounce! has been built from start to finish to meet all ASTM International Standards of safety.
