Bounce and burn some calories

-

Given the heavy Iftar and Suhoor meals that often characteri­se the holy month of Ramadan, why not burn some calories – and have fun – by bouncing and bobbing your way to fitness at BOUNCE, the UAE’s world renowned chain of trampoline parks?

During Ramadan, BOUNCE is offering unlimited passes for Dh299 that give bouncers unlimited access to jump, zip-line, and wall run each and every day of Ramadan.

The passes are available at BOUNCE venues across the UAE, and include standard passes and premium ones which include unlimited Zip Line, Speed Slide and Quick Drop access at BOUNCE’s Abu Dhabi venue.

A trip to BOUNCE is fun for children and adults of all ages. The free-bouncing arena, for example, has around 50 interconne­cted trampoline­s for those who simply want to bounce around from trampoline to trampoline, or even up and down on one matt, or even dunk a basketball.

If you’re planning on taking advantage of the premium passes in Abu Dhabi – make sure to try the speed slide, a 40-metre slide with a 70-degree drop, which spans an incredible four stories.

Another Abu Dhabi fixture – the ‘Quick Drop ‘ – is a nerve-defying 18-metre free fall leap of faith. Perhaps the most fun feature, however, is the zip-line, which allows riders to reach speeds of well over 30 kilometers per hour.

In addition to being a great time, bouncing is actually very beneficial for the body. A study conducted by NASA, for example, found that 10 minutes on a trampoline is better for cardiovasc­ular fitness than 33 minutes of running. It also helps tone muscles, improve coordinati­on and agility, and even relieve stress.

The BOUNCE unlimited Ramadan passes are available at their locations in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. Do note, however, that the pass can only be used in the venue in which it was purchased, and only by the person named on the pass – they can’t be transferre­d.

The pass is valid for general access, ladies night and ‘Junior Jumpers’ only, with a maximum usage of three hours per day.

If you’re interested, don’t delay! The passes are going fast, so hurry up and get bouncing!
