Did you know that 10 minutes of jumping is the cardio equivalent of a 30 minute jog?

Not only is jumping on your Springfree Trampoline a fun activity for the whole family but it has health benefits as well. We’re here to share a few of many moves you can do on the Springfree Trampoline to get an awesome workout while bouncing. Try a few of these moves next time you’re jumping and we promise that you’ll feel the burn of a great workout!

We recommend doing each move for around 30 seconds, followed by 30 seconds of casual jumping – and repeat!

Happy Mother's Day!

Another year has gone by and it’s time to show the most important woman in your life how special she really is! Mother’s Day is the perfect opportunity to tell mom how much you love and appreciate everything she does on a daily basis. Take the time today to do an activity together that is both fun and active for the whole family. Help mom out with gardening, go on a hike, or even better, go for a jump on your Springfree Trampoline!

There are a million reasons to love mom and we asked our Springfree family from all over the globe what they love about their own mom the most. Here’s what they told us…

How are you celebrating Mother's Day this year?

We love Christmas music of all kinds here at Springfree™ Trampoline! We like to put a twist on the ole favourites and make them a lil more… Bouncy. Here is one of our favourite Springfree™ Trampoline Christmas Carols:

Rockin’ around my new Springfree
Rockin’ around my new Springfree
In the Springfree Warehouse Shop
Trampolines stacked where you can see,
Everybody wants to hop!

Rockin’ around my new Springfree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we’ll bounce up to the sky,
and we’ll work eventually!

You will see the flexinet is safely on the sides
People jumping out so far and
Don’t fall off and hit the ground.

Rockin’ around my new Springfree
It’s a really stellar bounce
Everyone’s jumpin’ happily,
In the fun safe Springfree way!

From everyone here at Springfree Trampoline, Happy Jumpy Holidays to you and your families!

We love Christmas here @ Springfree™ Trampoline! We love the spirit of goodwill, the festivities, the food, backyard jumping fun and time with our families. One of the things we are very excited about is dressing up the centrepiece of our homes this holiday season – our Christmas Tree!

When it comes to Christmas Trees these days – there are lots of new versions of the traditional Christmas tree so if you are tired of the prickly needles and tiresome ornaments check out these modern ideas and create your own stunning Christmas Tree.

Wondering what to do with that extra string of christmas lights you have lying around? How about creating a stunning wall tree!

Get the family collecting pine cones on your morning walks, and embrace nature’s art with this fabulous pine cone tree!

Grab that dusty ladder from behind the door, give it a wipe and create a real DIY masterpiece!

Pull Charlotte Bronte, that strange cook book your great aunt gave you, or even some old textbooks that haven’t been opened in forever, and create a tree full of stories to tell.

Feel like you’re a whizz when it comes to IKEA furniture? How about you give a flat-pack tree a go!

Got oodles of baubles and no tree to hang them on? No problem! You can create your very own tree mobile!

Just let your creative side take over…

You’d be amazed at what you can find lying around the house to make that perfect tree! Dare to be different this year!

We hope this gave you some inspiration. Have fun creating your Christmas Masterpiece!

From everyone here at Springfree Trampoline, Jumpy Holidays to you and your family!

I’m Claire! I’m going into my third year at Queen’s University and am studying Film & Media.

How long have you been working at Springfree Trampoline?
4 months!

I’m the Digital Communications Intern for Springfree. My job involves curating content for our various social media channels, producing and editing videos, helping monitor our online communities, and basically assisting my boss Stella on whatever she needs help with!

What has been a highlight of your time working here?
Going to a professional photoshoot with Springfree’s five athlete ambassadors – Oh and then one of them (Rosie) winning a gold medal at the Olympics!

What do you like most about your job?
The freedom for creativity in my work and of course, I get to jump on trampolines!

What do you like most about the company?
The work environment is fantastic. Springfree cares about its employees.

What’s a funny/unique fact about yourself?
I’ve been on the Ellen DeGeneres Show – it doesn’t get much better than that!

What’s your favourite Springfree Trampoline model to bounce on?
The S113 because it is the bounciest (at least in my opinion).

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Springfree Trampolines?
Flawless design.

What did you think about when you first jumped on a Springfree?
“Umm.. this is the greatest thing, ever.”

Introduce yourself.
My Name is Julian McNaughton and I’m a Marketing Intern for Springfree Trampoline. I’m 20 years old with a Diploma in Broadcasting-Journalism. Starting in January I’ll be working towards a degree in Business/Marketing.

How long have you been working at Springfree Trampoline?
I’ve been working at Springfree for five years now, since I was 15.

What is your job title and what does your job entail?
When I first started at Springfree, I worked in the warehouse as casual labor. Starting in February of 2012, about six months after I graduated, I moved into the Marketing department where I’m currently working as a Marketing intern. My main job as a Marketing intern is to coordinate events and prepare our events team for them. I also assist the marketing coordinator in marketing plans, promotions and development of product collateral.

What has been a highlight of your time working here?
The highlight of my time working at Springfree definitely has to be the National Home Show. The home show was my first major event. It was a long ten days but I enjoyed it. I learned a lot that I can apply to the work that I do now.

What do you like most about your job?
My favorite thing about being a Marketing intern is that I’m always learning something new. With different events happening every week, it allows for a change in the work pace which makes everything more enjoyable.

What do you like most about the company?
What I like most about the company, is its passion. The drive and the passion that the leaders of this company have is indescribable and it rubs off on us all.

What’s a funny/unique fact about yourself?
I am a HUGE soccer fan. Every Sunday during the soccer season, no matter what time, I wake up and watch my beloved Lazio play. When Italy won the 2006 World cup I weeped like a baby for days and when Italy lost in the Euro Cup final this summer I again weeped like a baby… Pathetic, I know.

What’s your favourite Springfree Trampoline model to bounce on?
Hands down my favourite Springfree model to jump on is the S113.

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Springfree Trampolines?
The first thing that comes to mind when I think of Springfree is quality. With quality, comes safety, durability and longevity.

What did you think about when you first jumped on a Springfree?
My first thought when I first jumped on a Springfree Trampoline, other than knowing instantaneously that it was the safest trampoline in the world, was how can I possibly incorporate a soccer net into the FlexiNet???

Last week Canada’s gold medalist and Springfree ambassador Rosie MacLennan stopped by our Markham office for the first time since being home from the London 2012 Olympics!

However, her visit was for more than just a hello – we were bringing Rosie in for a photoshoot.

Local photographer James Heaslip took some fantastic shots of Rosie with her brand new gold medal. There a lot of laughs, outfit changes and set ups, and all of the photos turned out great!

Check out the video below for a behind the scenes look at our photoshoot with Rosie and some updates on the golden girl’s busy week since being home (you’ll even get a sneak peek at a few of the final photos)!
