Cellercise® & Bellicon®: A Review (purchase link in description) 

This video encouraged me to buy the Bellicon. Trying it convinced me to keep it. It is softer, and very comfy. But you CAN sprint on it. It’s either being willing feel a slower pace or sprinting with the feet slightly wider, like just past hip width. On the bit slower step, I feel like the muscle recruitment is more full. The whole length of my leg and glute is activated. When I take a bit wider stance to sprint I can pick up more speed. But I also feel like this is good for the hip to knee alignment and abductors. Shall we also mention that an overly narrow gait when running on treadmill or ground contributes to joint trouble? So, to me the Bellicon is a win-win.

What a terrific video! I've watched a lot and yours is the one that really helped to me understand why the Bellicon would be a good choice for someone like me. I pretty much only like walking but bought an inexpensive, spring trampoline years ago to get an idea if it might be fun, before investing in something more expensive. It was but I didn't use it much and the cat decided it made a lovely bed. At 60 and just diagnosed with osteoporosis I've been convinced that rebounding is going to be the best exercise to help gently increase bone density. Starting with the little Goodlife trampoline again, I found the movement jarring and my back and hips hurt even taking it easy. Bellicon, Jumpsport and Leaps and Rebounds were in the running then looking at the Cellerciser brought me here to you and I'm happy it did, thank you.

Having had a Needak rebounder since 1996, I switched to Cellerciser because the springs were far superior..rebounding flushes your lymphatic system quickly and efficiently...listen to your body and perform movements on the rebounder that works for you at your level...you can do easy basic movements for spectacular results..do it for yourself!

I would suppose that the technology exists that someone could create a rebounder where, like other exercise equipment, user simply dials the resistance desired at that moment. One rebounder to do it all.

I’m so glad I bumped into your video. After many hours of comparing rebounders I have been comparing the different rebounders and I’ve heard the bellicon is the best. I know it’s a lot more expensive and you have to wait a lot longer to get it. I wish I had someone who could recommend which one I need. I weigh 115 lbs and I want to share my rebounder with my mom who is 101 years old and weighs 82 pounds. I want one with a bar on it for mom. Who knows maybe it will be beneficial for me too. This is a cute story, I was parked in a grocery store parking lot the other day and someone parked next to me in their beautiful brand new Rolls Royce. I debated on getting a used Bellicon rebounder or a new cheaper brand. I’ve heard it said that Bellicon is referred to as the “ Rolls, Royce” of rebounders. So if you catch my drift, the rolls-Royce parked next to me, was a sign!!

The sound of the springs gives me panic level anxiety from just hearing it in the background and I’ve listened to it for just five minutes, that’s the grossest sound in the universe ohno 😬 don’t care how good it is, I’m never paying for such torture 🤣 let’s change the bungees as often as necessary and jump quietly listening to classical music in the background. Yes that’s my fantasy. 😂 having hEDS our patience is not exactly leaving much nerves to spare. Bellicon it is thank you.

I’m 71 and have had a Cellercizer for about two years though I stopped using it for maybe a year. I was so disappointed when I first got it as I expected the bounce to feel a lot softer, and instead it felt jarring to me. I got back into using it a couple of months ago, but decided to buy a Bellicon.. I just ordered it yesterday and am so excited, especially after hearing your comparison and experiences!

Nice discussion. Refreshing that you’re not claiming that rebounding cures every disease and condition know to man, and in just 10 minutes a day. I do like rebounding.

The first thing ive noticed is on the metal rebounder is that it is so noisy. The neighbors are gonna assume im having fun in bed with someone.

The bounce on the Celleciser looks more precise. For just bouncing I have a BCAN which is a lot like the Bellicon type of rebounders. So, I want to try the Celleciser for a precise bounce for greater muscle work.

Love my Cellesizer I felt the difference between the two ! Fortunately I do not have any issues! Thank you so much for the wonderful comparison!

Thank you so much! This review is exactly what I was looking for in my search for a rebounder. I'm rather sold on the Bellicon but I feel even more sure based on your wonderful information presented here. +1 sub Thank you!

I chose cellerciser because I am heavy, 2nd reason the trifold was for me because I am a truck driver and I carry it with me The bellicon is too high for me and the bungees wear out faster, putting the new looks like a lot of work, price was another factor

The impact issues you mention when using the Cellercise are the same problem I had. The compression on the joints and spine was painful for me and I don't get that on the Bellicon and feel a much better workout to a greater muscle group with my Bellicon. From what I understand from the research I have done on the lymphatic system it works on a pressure buildup from the muscle contractions more than anything. The Bellicon working a greater muscle group would improve this muscle contraction and pressure buildup in the lymphatic system.

We are two seniors, from seeing your video comparing the Bellicon and Cellercise. I know you did not want to recommend one or the other but I believe your video helped me make a decision. I chose Bellicon.

I’ve watched many videos but this one has definitely helped me the most. No doubt the Bellicon and the Cellerciser are both high quality, although different. I think the Bellicon has to be my choice due to age (72) and joint stiffness. I will just need to follow your advice and train myself to not pronate. Thank you.

thank you for this unbiased comparison (including the engineering and physics explanation!) . helped cut thru all the rebounder back and forth out there and confirm I made a great investment with the bellicon. very much appreciated--will be pointing people to this site to help them make their decision. wish inhan landed on it sooner...would have helped cut my research time down by at least 1/2. looking forward to seeing what else you have on your site.

Thank you for the review! This helped me choose the amazing cellercizer! The Bellicon is good for bounce and play, but to me it looks like the Cellerciser is the gold-standard for fun-yet-serious exercise that also builds muscle mass and overall toning. I saw Dave Hall's workouts and those can only be safely done on the Cellerciser, not on the Bellicon.

Cellerciser all the way. Better workout.

Thankful for your video, I found it very helpful in making my decision as to which would be better for me. I think for us a little older folks the bellicon is much gentler and kinder on the joints. Decision made; bellicon it is! 😊

Excellent comparison! Very fair to each brand. Consumers can actually make a better informed choice as to which soots their needs. Thank you!

I haven't watched the whole video yet so maybe you cover this. My experience with bungees is that they wear out quickly and unevenly so I worry that the Bellicon will eventually have uneven tension. And I wonder what happens if one or more breaks on the Bellicon and has to be replaced how the fact that their tension will be stronger due to being new than the older ones. I think the metal springs of the cellercise will last longer and stay more even.

Cellerciser is 110% Above the rest. I have bi lat total knee replacements, 2 spinal fixations and a fusion also. I tried to other rebounders and could NOT use them…I was in horrific pain in 3 mi s… Cellerciser is Totally different and made for low impact and high muscle toning, plus wonderful for fascia releasing! Use it EVERY DAY!

I prefer the Cellerciser. Bellicon is too soft for my tastes.

I love love love my Jump Sport. Thanks for this review.

I use the Bellicon also but usually just bounce. I never did those movements you did starting at 16:10 . Wow ! I tried it and it really worked my muscles/ joints . Will continue to do those! Thanks!

This to me was a good understanding of the bounce between the Bellicon and cellisisisor. I wish people in forums would watch this. ❤

Thanks for sharing your experience with these rebounders. Your personal history with these devices gives the presentation more depth. Love the mother and son aspect too!

k8teebeth I liked this review very much. I just went from a Jump Sport to Cellerciser and because of arthritic feet and ankles, self-correcting pronation was not easy. For me the Cellerciser was a great find. I'm 71 and am giving my daughter (46) the Jump Sport. So while you said there was no comparison between Bellicon and Jump Sport, would you NOT recommend Jump Sport? ( I also realize that you are not in affiliate for Jump Sport). If bouncing is good, it could be a great starting point for her on a Jump Sport...yes? It was for me.

I still can't make a decision and feel I am more confused on which rebounder to purchase. Where is your studio located? If it is close maybe I could check them both out.

Imagine my husband sleeping after the night shift and me jumping on the cellerciser at the same time 😬 it’s so bad

I don't want to sound harsh but for me as a non-native English speaker it's very difficult to concentrate on the words when there is the noise of the springs. It would be helpful for me to only hear the talking. Thank you for your videos. All the best.

This is a fair and balanced review. Thank you~

@Bounce Fit Studio. Hi Heather, I myself have thyroid disease, sarcoidosis, asthma, fibromyalgia and alot of chronic pain. I own a Bellicon. I haven't used it in quite sometime because even that bothers my back. I thought about buying a cellerciser however after your testamonial of health issues and our similarities I think I'll just try to use my Bellicon again and check into changing the bungees. I can't thank you enough for your testimony. Pain and exhaustion are constants in my life.

That was a wonderful explanation!!! Thank you so much!!

While you covered this comparison very well, I do suggest you oil the springs when you do the demo for the Cellerciser to make it more neutral. From reviews of my research on the bellicon, the bungees have to be replaced more frequently than the Cellerciser. I suppose it depends on your health issues that one might consider one vs the other and the type of workout your trying to achieve.

Thanks Heather and Jack for that extensive and fun review. It was great to see the difference in depth between the two rebounders. Bellicon definitely looks like a softer and fun option.😊

Cellerciler is only in USA not in Europe, and if you want to get one, you have to pay 350 euro for delivery.. Wtf😅

This review was extremely helpful. I have a nice spring rebounder, but this comparison of the health impacts finally convinced me to try the Bellicon. I have been at the Bellicon site several times, filled my cart, but then was not sure. This time, I bought it! Can't wait to feel the difference.

Do all spring rebounders make that horrible noise

Thank you so much. I have had a pinched nerve before and some back issues. I just purchased a Jumpsport 370. Do you think it’s not a good trampoline for me😢

I agree that it is a personal preference and that they are very different. I have both and use both regularly. If I had to chose one, I would also pick the Bellicon, but I do like both of them. For me, since the Bellicon is bouncier, I like to use it more for cardio with music which makes it more fun. I either free style jump to music or follow San Fran Fitness, Naomi Joy, or Bellicon Home videos. Because the Bellicon is so much fun, the chance that I will stick with it is greater. I use the Cellerciser more for targeted exercise without music and all instruction from I jump Instead. For me, it's sort of like the difference between Pilates (Cellerciser) and Zumba (Bellicon). This is just the way I use them, but of course you can do cardio/freestyle jumping on the Cellerciser. It just won't be as bouncey as on the Bellicon. I'm 67, 4'11", 112# and use strong bungee strength on my Bellicon.

What about the JumpSport? Bellicon is way too expensive 😢

I'm so glad to see this I have EDS at 53 and need to work out.

One thing I notice is the amount of noise the Cellerciser makes. Those springs squeaking would annoy me, and also my neighbors below me. I live in a condo, and I ordered the Bellicon because it was SILENT.

There’s no good evidence for bouncing being beneficial outside of some perceived balance/confidence, regardless of the brand.

Was not in love with the sqeaking sound, it's so not relaxing

I just bought a BCAN 48 inch . I love it so far and it has bungee cords as well. I need the wider surface to feel secure. thanks

Bellicon isn't stable and I pronate. Bungees don't work for me at all. Plus, I feel I get a much better workout with the Cellersier for conditioning for long-distance hiking and climbing.

I've had my cellerciser for a long time, I love it

Do you recommend the t bar for the bellicon? I’m new to all of this and not sure whether I should splurge on it or not.

HI! I would like to buy the bellicon because I have a rebound air with springs but I noticed that while working on it I was getting back and neck pain...do you have a link to get some discounts? I weigh 51 kg and I'm 52. What type of ropes do you recommend? strong or extra strong? thank you very much

It seems that wearing a good with arch support while jumping would resolve pronation issues.

Thanks for this amazing review! I’m sold on Bellicon and will purchase through your link! I’m 130ish and 5’6” - I don’t know which one to order as my husband (150&6’) and kids both slim and average heights ages 9 and 13 will use it as well. I’m definitely the primary user. I am having foot issues (Morton’s neuroma in one foot and heel pain in the other) if that impacts the decision. Thanks for any and all input! It’s a big purchase and I want to get it right! Jen - 53 and feeling like I’m falling apart (I also have frozen shoulder!)

What bungee strength are you using? And… any experience to share for pelvic floor?

I've finally decided Bellicon is right for me but now to decide which strength! :) Does anyone know about how often you have to purchase new bungees? Do they all go out at once or do you switch just a few here and there out?

Hi can you say what strength Bellicon mat you have here? Strong, extra strong or ultra strong? I'm trying to decide which one to get.

I got a Bellicon and I swear by it. It's the best brand out there by far.

Great comparison! I have a Bellicon, actually had to order ultra strong cords in addition to the medium one's that were recommended for my weight and fitness level by the company. Also I ordered stability bars and all total it came to over $1000! I was like, well, better use it girl. I have, on and off, and have to say the ultra strong cords were a must for me. I was for sure protonating with the medium cords and couldn't really do "fitness" rebounding without them. But now I want to also order a cellerciser because I need a rebounder I can travel with and move outside to workout in fresh air, esp. as the warmer season has come here to Michigan. I was wondering about an unbiased comparison, because of course, Dave Hall only shows what he believes are negatives with the bellicon when comparing the two. I'm going to go ahead and order a cellerciser because it's foldable and I can take it outside and travel with it. These are very significant investments for me, so I'm not being casual about it, I really just need one that I can take outside easily! Rebounding is amazing, and I'm committed to getting back into it consistently. Thanks for posting this vid! Blessings!

Wow. This video shows how noisy the cellerciser is.

What size are those Bellitons? i'm torn between the 44 and 49. Leaning toward the 44 with the comfort mat.

Thank you so much!! This made total sense snd I can see the difference! Appreciate this very much!

Excellent video. .Thank you !!! My Bellicon will be here in a few days...Can't wait.. 😊 😁 ❤

I agree that they are completely different. I appreciate the review being a more fair review than what's out there. I use my cellercises for calisthenics training and barely ever come off the mat, and when I do, its very little. Pretty much the only exercise I could do when I started at my weight, total lack of fitness, and my injuries. It gave me very fast results in balance and flexibility, doing the correct exercises the cellerciser was intended for. Slimmed down incredible fast too, because I would not have had the stamina , aerobic conditioning to jump on the bellicon. Its like I had to cellerciser to now "graduate" to be physically enough in shape to use bellicon. As for bellicon, the bungee strength has to be spot on (tried 3 different strength), and "imitating" the same firmness of cellerciser was not possible, it was a different experience although they feel the same (hard to explain, i agree, you would have to do both to understand it). I find that the bellicon, I like a bit softer bungee. With the stronger bungees I had all kinds of pains that I don't get on cellerciser, even doing the same exercises. But the combination of the softer bounce, and in my case, bigger mat (being tall) makes for fun exercises on the bellicon that I don't do or can't do on cellerciser. I feel they both have a place in the rebounding world, I would love to try a jumpsport and compare, but my rebounder buying days are over for now...LOL. At the end of the day, I want everyone to rebound, get the correct rebounder for their fitness level and weight, and as stated, stay away from the cheap stuff! its not worth it and you end up spending just as much in the end. So thank you for a more objective review of both.

If I just want a rebounder for health benefit specifically work the lymphatic system. I am 73 and my husband is 77. Would the Bellicon be too soft to keep his balance?

Phew. I just ordered correctly for my needs and then watched your video. Thank you!

How often do the bands have to be replaced on the bellicon? I’m leaning that direction but have heard it’s pretty often and expensive.

Neither are available in India.

I started taking collagen peptide powder & bone broth daily. I was hurting and it’s supposed to be low impact. I finally figured out why. Diet change with the collagen & bone broth I’m finally pain free. I like that pop on the cell, but that pain you speak of is scary. I have 2 bellicon. I was thinking about the cell, but I can’t take the risk! Thanks for the reviews.

I like the Bellicon, but it’s so expensive. Do they ever go on sale?

Thanks. Would be interested in the foot pronation program. Could you point me in the right direction? I have a PT rebounder at the moment but the Bellicon looks very tempting.

Bellicon is so overpriced!

This is a great comparison, although I had already decided on a Bellicon before watching it. The only decision I have to make now is which set of bungees to get.

Thanks so much for this comparison! I’m moving to Portugal and need to find a great rebounder there. I’m 65 with lots of back issues. 😉

Which city are you guys located at

I found this very helpful! Thank You! One question I would like to ask though is about choosing the right bungee strength. I saw someone recommend going up from what is recommended for your weight. Do you also advise that? I do have a Cellerciser and I love it but I want more bounce. TY!

Heather - thanks !!!!!

Wow, super great video … thanks a lot a lot !

Thanks for the advice it did help me a lot to make my decision!🥰

Sponsored by both seems hard to review

The Cellersize is LOUD!

More confused now…😙

I think bungee cord is better for me. I am going to order the bungee one. I have a metal ring one. It hurts my spine

What is the size of the Bellicon in this video?

Trying to figure out if you can obtain as good of a cardio workout on Bellicon as the other ones?

How do you get it assembled?

So thorough, thank you! Was really leaning JumpSport initially....but now I'm thinking maybe Bellicon? Is it really worth the cost? (I'm willing to pay, if needed). Would love to hear more comparison on those two.

Is that Bellicon in your demonstration a 44 or 49? Is bigger better?

How much is the discount using your link

As someone who has back and knew issues your video helped me the most

Thank you!

when you do many jumps in a short time it is better therefore the cellerciser is a better rebounder for much less money

Cellerciser is the superior rebounder in every way. Use it daily!

Which one did you say was making you stronger ma'am?

Would a bellicon be good for someone with bad knees? My mother is almost bone to bone and refuses to get surgery so I'm wondering if the bellicon will help get than flow going in a gentler way that say walking.

It's my opinion only, of course, but it's always better to keep your audience's attention on YOUR product and its own "superpowers" rather than introduce them to another brand. For example... you've never seen a commercial about Rolls Royse demonstrating why it's better than a Cadillac Coupe Deville. Wait, right?! =) Especially these days with Tesla's EVs. Other EV manufacturers that try to compare themselves to Tesla in stats and technology run the risk of people researching Tesla's cars directly and deciding that a Tesla EV is WAY WAY better. Boom, the other brands paid for the advertisement AND lost the sale doing it. Good luck, though! ;-)
