 Defective Urban Rebounder March 2, 2010
Beverly Halling (Kailua-Kona, HI USA)
I purchased this new Urban Rebounder a few months ago through Amazon. Prior to its arrival I had injured my back so knew I could not and should not try it out yet. The box it came in was in perfect condition so I knew there would be no damage to it so I just set the box in my bedroom until I felt like it would be safe for me to use it. I was surprised beyond belief to find that the rebounder had two huge factory defects so it could not even be opened up. Both of the ends that were supposed to slip inside of the square ends so the rebounder could be set up were so defective that they could not be put into the square ends where they were supposed to fit. I had friends come over and look at it. They said since the heavy duty metal that it is made of could not be pounded back into shape there was no way to set it up. I contacted Customer Service at the Urban Rebounder [...] and was surprised at the uncaring response I got. They said to return it with the order number, etc. and that I would have to pay the shipping. I have no order number with the company since I bought it from Amazon. I explained all of that in my email to them. I then contacted Amazon and was told I could return it for a partial refund!!! Here I try to be a decent customer of these two companies. The defective product they sent to me was not my fault. I in good faith purchased this Urban Rebounder from two companies that I thought were very reputable. When they have something happen that does not fit their normal return policy guidelines they should have someone in their customer service department that recognizes this and make it right with the customer. I am 78 years old and was trying to do something good for my health and then I get treated like this. Shame on them. I am going to report the incident to the consumer divisions in the states where these companies operate from in the hope that they will be taken to task for this. if I could have found an email adddrss for Mr. J.B. Bern who invented the Urban Rebounder I would have contacted him but I couldn't find one. Beverly Halling
 Amazing!!! JB Berns is my favorite trainer now and probably forever January 22, 2010
Ellora (Broomfield, CO USA)
If you have sports related injuries, you must buy this DVD and use it. I felt better after the first session of exercises. Like JB Berns says, "Start living a pain free life".
My Story:
I was suffering from tennis elbow on both arms from pulling a fireman's high rise pack up a to a fourth story window. It affected my arm and hand strength. I couldn't hold a gallon of milk with one hand, let alone pour from it. I had many other limitations because of this injury. I am an athlete and work out all of the time and this injury put a damper on most of the activities I love, even my precious long mountain bike rides.
I have lived with this issue for a year and was ready to go to a Physical Therapist which I was dreading because of the precious time it would take but I was getting desperate to get out of pain and regain mobility and then...
...I bought this DVD after reading a positive review and I am so glad I did and want to thank that other reviewer as well. JB Berns clearly knows his anatomy, physiology and his injury rehab as well. This guy is no dumb jock trying to get rich off of his programs. He seems to really be passionate about helping people and sharing his knowledge.
I started out by getting his Urban Rebounding Mini-Trampline system for some at home aerobic activity and to break up the winter work out doldrums and stumbled upon this "Rehab Your Body at Home" DVD. I'm so glad I did. By the way the Urban Rebounding mini trampoline DVD's are fun. Jumping on the mini-tramp is so much fun. I feel like a kid again. Bouncing is a fun way to burn calories and the DVD's keep it interesting. I wish there were more mini-trampoline workouts by JB Berns or anyone for that matter.
I have never written a review before for any item I have purchased through Amazon or any seller. I am almost glad that I got this injury and found this awesome at home solution just so I can now encourage any one out there who has similar injuries to get this DVD and use it.
Next, I am going to work on the knee rehab for a really old running related injury. Thanks, JB Berns!!!Urban Rebounding : Power BurnUrban Rebounding Compilation 4 DVDUrban Rebounding Workout DVD, Compilation 3Urban Rebounding Workout DVD, Compilation 2Urban Rebounding Workout DVD, Compilation 1
good rehabilitation video January 10, 2010

I dislocated my elbow and went through physical therapy. But that wasn't enough to maintain my elobow in good condition. The excersises on Urban Rebounder DVD are simple and very effective. I use it almost every day and feel very good.

This was recommended to me by a marathon runner. I have bad knees and arthritis in my hands. The workouts are helping both. There are beginner and advanced workouts for lots of body parts and I've done some of them. I don't like the music or the background bunnies who don't always show good form. He starts talking and teaching before the video switches from the segment title to the actual video, so you can feel a bit scrambly getting into position. I don't much like his voice. But the exercises and stretches are in line with my physical therapy. All in all, I'm glad I bought it and use it.
Excellent DVD featuring exercises for rehabilitation, stretching, and flexibility October 30, 2008

This DVD by instructor JB Burns is also known as JB Burns' Freedom Restoration Series. It contains a series of rehabilitative workouts addressing seven different areas of the body. For each area, there is a "Series A," which is more beginning-level and a bit less intense, and "Series B," which includes more intermediate exercises and more active stretches, for at total of 14 workouts on the DVD. Most of the workouts are about 15 minutes long, although some are as short as 11 minutes, and a few are as long as 23 minutes. All of the workouts feature Burns with two female background exercises (the women are different in each segment), and the only props that are needed are a chair and a mat for the floorwork. I have broken down each body area in greater detail below.
BACK
The back segments were the longest at about 23 minutes each. The A Series focuses mainly on lower back and core stretches; it includes some beginning crunches, prone moves, work on all fours, and a few kneeling and standing stretches to finish. B Series takes it up a notch with intermediate pelvic tilts, crunches and bridge work. It also contains more exercises for the hamstrings and more intense low back stretches, including some tough work in the prone position.
SHOULDER
Both series consist of about 12 exercises. In Series A, the stretches are more basic, moving the shoulders through all planes of motion. There is also some isometric work. Series B is more active, with many of the exercises being the same as moves that you would typically do with weights.
HIP & KNEE
Series A focuses includes exercises to mobilize the kneecaps and strengthen the quads. It includes various hip stretches, including isometric and hip flexor stretches, and the series is performed almost entire on the floor. In contrast, Series B features stronger stretches for the hips and hamstrings, and it consists mostly of standing work.
ANKLE & FOOT
This is the only section where Burns and the women do not wear shoes; each segment is about 13 minutes long. Series A starts out with manipulative work for the toes and ankles. Continuing in a seated position, there are various stretches for the toes, ankles, and feet. Series B offers similar stretches, but from a lying position; this segment ends with additional standing moves.
HAND & ELBOW
Both A and B contain 12 exercises and are about 12 minutes long. The A Series begins with a finger massage and continues into many different types of wrist stretches, including some isometric movements. In Series B, there are more active finger stretches and then a different sequence of wrist stretches.
ABDOMINAL
These series are short at about 11 minutes each. Both A and B follow a similar pattern: the series begins in a standing position for a brief stretch, then moves to the floor for a series of abdominal crunches and bridge work. Series A includes isometric moves, whereas Series B includes more intermediate/advanced crunches. Both series end with a brief stretch.
FLEXIBILITY
Both of the series in the Flexibility portion offer a sequence of stretches for the entire body, and thus these segments would work well for stretching after a workout. The two segments are actually quite similar, covering areas such as wrists, low back, mid/upper back, chest, groin, hips, hamstrings, and ankles; perhaps the only differences are that Series A includes neck stretches, and Series B goes into the stretches a bit more deeply.
As the DVD case notes, these workouts are designed to rehab the body, and so they would be excellent for anyone suffering from a sports-specific injury--for example, the shoulder rehab for golfers. However, the entire DVD is ideal for anyone who would like to improve posture and increase flexibility. I know that I will appreciate having this DVD on hand both for when I feel the need to get some extra stretching in or especially whenever I might be experiencing any specific aches and pains that need to be addressed. The only thing that I did not like about this DVD was the music; the case describes it as having "great music and high energy," but I found the fast-paced music jarring for a workout billed as gentle and rehabilitative in nature. Otherwise, however, this is definitely a valuable addition to a home exercise video library, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
