I got this product several years ago on the recommendation of a physical therapist after a severe injury required nearly a year of twice daily physical therapy. When it arrived, we (I needed help due to injury) had to drill the holes in the handle larger. It was the part that adjusts up and down. They were just made too small from the factory. We also had to go to the hardware store to get bolts for the bottom two mound points, as they did not include them from the factory. The quality of the pre-assembled components, the trampoline section and the frame, was great; but the person that should have checked the quality of how it would be assembled must have been taking the day off when my unit was built and shipped!
However, once it was put together and working, this rebounder worked great, and it helped recover the use of my arm. A few things you need to be aware of when using this with medicine balls is you will want a non slip mat to put it on, and the more weight you can keep in the ball storage tray, the better it will work. Otherwise, it will tend to move around, about an inch, every time a ball rebounds off it. Having it up against a wall helps, but you need to make sure it won't harm the wall its up against! If you use this in an area without cement floors, even on padded carpet, it will cause quite the racket, as it causes the floors to shake, just like if someone where to stomp their feet. It's not the fault of the rebounder unit; to bounce that heavy ball back, there are a lot of forces in play! Using it on a cement floor is much better.
On carpet, I used it with someone standing on the back of the unit to keep it from moving around as much. Yes, even with an adult man standing on the back of it, it still moved on carpet, and would have to be "re-aimed" after 20-30 rebounds with a 8 pound ball.
Once I was able to move it to a cement area and put it up against a sturdy wall, it stayed in place. It also rebounded with much more force. Being able to change the angle was key to my recovery as I was able to do many different exercises with this rebounder. This product wasn't perfect, but it ultimately performed as well I I could expect any similar device to perform, and I'm able to type this review because of it.

Love it for strength building
This is a perfect exercise ball for upper body strength as my body is just continuing aging. It’s low key but a little each day is maintain. It use during balance exercises, while watching tv, and for flexibility during dance movements. I did a lot of exercises growing up that included all around gymnastics, ballet, jazz dancing, etc. I love this to create my own individualized movements to music for flexibility and strength.

Rebounder w weighted ball
Use it often in my practice I have donated this item to local high school baseball programs and designed programs for them and it has worked well. Ordered a tarp to cover for those who keep them in a bullpen

Great for baseball training
Our pitching coach uses these during my son’s pitching lessons, so we decided to invest in one. Score that it was on sale at the time as well. We are excited to have this item available to our son at home to continue the same drills he does during his pitching lessons. At 12 years old, this ball is the perfect size and weight for his hands. We have also found some videos on social media for drills to use for batting techniques. It’s important to build those upper body muscles in order to increase that Velo in both pitching and batting! Great product!

Perfect Medicine Ball
Awesome bouncy medicine ball. Has not required refilling with air. Nice sturdy weight doesn’t shift around inside and is perfectly balanced. Nice and grippy too, especially once it breaks in a little.

Nice product for “kids” activities and garage workout. A bit too bouncy to be a slam ball but still works fine. Very durable and well made for stationary “small” medicine ball workout for kids.
