    I don't see it. I see a PURE Fun one and a page full of other brands.

    rats hoping to avoid that. I know some have no assembly needed. Thanks for input...and dig yours out - use when you can.

    I guess assembly depends on which one to buy. I have had a few different models so honestly I can't remember. Looks like some of the Amazon descriptions include assembly so you might check the model you are considering.

    Haha, I don't need to dig it out; it's leaning against the wall in the spare room where my other exercise stuff is... "the loneliest room in the house." I get so out of breath lately and my heart rate has increased over 20 BPM with chemo, so I'm mostly sitting and sipping tea these days.

    Yeh, that's how I shop for exercise equipment.

    Salesguy: "So what's wrong with this one, Sir? It has all the features you need."
    Me: "I can only hang 3 shirts and 2 pairs of pants on it. Plus all that horizontal surface is gonna gather dust"

    You know, it looks like the PURE FUN line is the same manufacturer. The PURE logo is identical. It's weird, because there are different models for each. Both Amazon and Home Depot have the PURE FUN ones available. Some have the cheaper elastic bands and not the springs.

    Jeff mentioned getting one that has 2 springs per connection. Here is a screenshot of the PURE Fitness one that Yvonne likes showing 2 springs as Jeff recommended:

    Pure Fitness 40 in Exercise Trampoline with Handrail-9040MTH.png

    This model on Amazon has 2 springs per.
    I know I've seen at least on other model like that, but I can't find it...I've looked at so many I'm going cross-eyed.

    Rebounder posts merged into this thread.

    When I used to be young and mobile and had a rebounder, I was fine with just one of the plain little ones. Now, I was concerned about being able to step up on to it and also use it without losing my balance and falling off.
    I went to youtube (the font of ALL knowledge, right ?), and watched videos to see what kinds of rebounders there were for seniors like me who needed something more than just a plain one.
    Then, I searched on Amazon, trying to match efficiency with affordability, and finally settled for the little green one that I posted the picture of.

    I have the handles to help me with stepping onto it, and balance while rebounding, but I was still worried that it might fall over, so I positioned it in a corner and facing the wall. That way, if it did tip, I would just fall into the wall, and not go all the way down to the floor.

    Bobby put it together, and it did not take him long; but he is talented at doing things like this. If your husband can’t do it, @Gloria Mitchell , probably one of your family members, or just a friend who lives in your apartment complex should be able to set it up for you.
