Is Cellercise Too Good to be True? Science Says It Works!

Please consult your health care provider before beginning the Cellercise exercise program if you have a serious medical condition.

Bone and joint health is improved when we increase circulation. As you move up and down and perform exercises on the Cellerciser, circulation between the bones and joints increases, which helps improve bone and joint health.

We recommend you bounce barefoot or in soft-soled slippers that have some movement in them. Stocking feet may be slippery.

The feet are designed to be flexible; by wearing shoes, we restrict the movement of the foot. Using the Cellerciser without shoes increases flexibility and strength in the feet.

In extreme cases, some people may need additional foot support, but in most cases, even those who have orthotics have found that Cellercising helps improve the bones, muscles, ligaments and tendons in the feet to support natural alignment.

Yes—in fact, you won’t be able to keep them off! Children instinctively understand the value of moving up and down; they jump up and down in their cribs, on the couch, and when they dance. The Cellerciser’s up and down movement helps improve how children feel and perform, and can even promote better hand-eye coordination.

A quick safety note: If the balance bar is attached to your Cellerciser, be sure children do not swing on it, as they can tip the Cellerciser over.

Cellercising creates a weight-bearing activity without the jar of typical exercise, so the bones are stimulated in their osteoblastic activity, and better utilize minerals to remodel as well as build bone density.

We have many wonderful written testimonials from our customers who have had severe degenerative bone problems, and have been able to arrest and reverse that with the Cellerciser.

Our Cellerciser DVDs contain specific isometric and isotonic exercises for toning the arms, and building up muscle mass and bone density.

The Jamba run has been deemed by a number of doctors to be so intense that it can actually help grow new capillaries and increase circulation to burn off white adipose tissue or cellulite.

To do the Jamba run, spread your feet apart, bend at the knees slightly, keep your back straight (avoid leaning forward) to keep the weight on the thighs, and run in place.

The skeletal system cannot support itself; it is supported by the ligaments, tendons and muscles. When these are compromised by weakness or injury, we get more pressure on the joint area, restricting circulation. Eventually that can lead to arthritic conditions or joint health problems.

If we undergo surgery but don’t address the cause of weakness in a particular joint area, often we will end up with compounded or additional problems down the road. The Cellerciser can help increase circulation and strength to all body parts and functions, including the joints.

Many of our customers have elected to work first at restructuring and strengthening the supportive muscles and ligaments with the Cellerciser, and as a result have been able to avoid surgeries altogether.

The Cellerciser is a great way to tighten and strengthen your entire body following pregnancy—and can particularly help re-strengthen the abdominal wall. For a very effective abdominal exercise, sit on the Cellerciser, tilt backwards slightly, and gently start to bounce up and down. This movement strengthens the abdominal wall and helps promote contractions to lift, tighten and tone from the inside out again.

If you’ve been active during the course of your entire pregnancy, exercising on the Cellerciser should not be a problem, though it is best to always consult your health care practitioner before beginning any new form of exercise during pregnancy.

Cellercising eliminates up to 7/8ths of the ballistic impact or jar to the joints compared to other forms of exercise, making it a great option for exercise during pregnancy. It can also help increase circulation and blood flow to both the mother and the developing baby. In fact, it is not unusual for women who Cellercise regularly to have quick deliveries, because the body has become so responsive!

It’s best to Cellercise before eating or at least 20 minutes after eating. As you move up and down on the Cellerciser, food in the stomach moves up and down against the sphincter muscle, and can be uncomfortable if done immediately after a meal.

The Cellerciser is warranted to support 300 pounds, yet we’ve had people at 400 pounds use it very successfully.

The Cellerciser is very gentle on the knees, hips and back as we lose weight. Standing on the Cellerciser and doing basic strengthening exercises can help improve the supporting muscles and ligaments around the knee, so we can utilize the thighs and buttocks to help burn off weight.

The weakest area of circulation from the heart is in our lower extremities, so that’s often where we feel it first. Moving and lifting the heels up and down on the Cellerciser works the calf muscles. As circulation and strength within your lower extremities improves (generally within a few weeks), you shouldn’t notice as strong a burning sensation.

When you first start to move up and down, you increase oxygen and blood flow directly to the brain. Although this is healthy, you may feel a little dizzy initially when you first step off the Cellerciser. Dizziness should subside within one to two weeks.

When you first start to move up and down on the Cellerciser, the internal organs also start to move up and down. If you jump too high, you may cause a headache, as the brain bounces in the skull.

If you are new to the Cellerciser, consult this chart, which outlines a recommended Cellerciser program for your first, second, third and fourth weeks. This will give your body time to adjust and the connective tissues to firm up. After the third and fourth week, headaches are not usually a problem, as the connective tissues around the brain have improved.

Standing on the Cellerciser and moving up and down puts more weight on the sphincter muscle. By doing kegel tightening positions and then bouncing, you help to tone the muscle and apply more weight on that muscle to build it up. With time, this movement can help improve bladder control issues.

The Jamba run is the most intense aerobic activity you can do on the Cellerciser, and it utilizes the biggest muscles in the body, which give us the fastest results.

To do the Jamba run, spread your feet apart, bend at the knees slightly, keep your back straight (avoid leaning forward) to keep the weight on the thighs, and run in place.

If your knees and thighs are not yet strong enough to do the Jamba run, you can begin with the Jamba walk, which is walking in place in the same position.

Performing repetitions of the Jamba run will cause the body to eat up the glucose and sugars in the bloodstream very quickly. When you continue to maintain this activity, your body will go after the white adipose tissue—or fat—for more fuel. The Jamba run also helps to increase and sustain the metabolic processes, allowing the body to metabolize or continue to burn calories faster.

The Cellerciser is very good at exposing weaknesses. It’s also very gentle on the body. The Cellercise DVDs demonstrate specific movements you can do to open up circulation in the back and increase circulation to the disks.

If you have a serious medical condition or injury, consult your health care practitioner before beginning the Cellercise exercise program.

We include two extra springs and a few bar clips with each Cellerciser. The bar clips fit inside the balance bar to create the push pins. You will probably never need to use them, but we include them just in case.

Generally when this happens, the spring slips into the leg. If you take the rubber foot off the leg, you can find the spring.

Watch this demonstration video for more information on reattaching the spring:

The following video explains how to replace a spring on the Cellerciser:

The Cellerciser is UV and weather-resistant and can be left outside. You may need to hose it off occasionally if you live near a beach or have salty air, and the paint may oxidize over the years, but the springs, mat and frame will hold up well. Founder David Hall has stored his Cellerciser outside for 16 years.

Yes! Every Cellerciser part is replaceable. Contact our customer service team at (800) 856-4863 or info@cellercise.com if you need a replacement part.

Every Cellerciser comes with instructions for setting up the bar. You can also watch the following video for a demonstration:

Yes! The tri-fold unit will fit in most commercial airplane overhead compartments. Founder David Hall travels with his regularly.

We recommend you do not check your Cellerciser as checked luggage unless it’s in a box, as baggage claim may damage the carrying case.

Like the training wheels on a bike, the balance bar is designed to help you develop better balance—not for you to become dependent on it. By making the bar loose, you pull the bar towards you to tighten it up. Without even knowing it, as you continue to Cellercise, you will put less weight on the bar, and your balance and equilibrium will improve.

The Cellerciser sits 10 inches off the floor.

The Cellerciser’s mat and frame size are specifically designed to support our exercise movements. The wider the diameter of a mat, the less support you have in the middle, and the more the feet may pronate. You cannot experience the same benefits and safety doing our exercises on a large trampoline.

The bi-fold and tri-fold models are both made with the same quality materials, and both are great products.

The bi-fold locks into place, so more of the stress is directly on the springs.

The tri-fold has a flexible frame. As you’re jumping from side to side, the tri-fold frame actually flexes with the springs. The tri-fold model keeps you a little more centered, and arguably gives you a slightly better and more intense workout. We’ve had numerous customers note that they can tell the difference between the bi-fold and the tri-fold models.

Other than that, the tri-fold has the added benefit of being more portable.

Packaged, the bi-fold Cellerciser weighs 33 pounds without the balance bar, and 41 pounds with it. The tri-fold Cellerciser weighs 34 pounds without the balance bar, and 44 pounds with it.

Both units weigh a little less than that outside of the packaging.

Actually, the structure is a bit stronger. The tri-fold frame moves with you more than a bi-fold does, which is easier on the frame and the springs. The additional hinge areas are also thicker and stronger than the steel frame itself.

The Bellicon is an expensive mini-trampoline that uses bungee cords, which are not very supportive for exercise purposes. Bungee cords have a tendency to stretch out, especially as they warm up. The response time is sluggish, and can cause pronation of the ankles and the knees, as well as hip and back issues. Bungee cords can also fray and may need to be replaced, have off-gassing, and don’t smell very good.

The Cellerciser uses triple-tiered springs for joint support, and is designed to support exercise movements in a way the Bellicon cannot.

When properly maintained, your Cellerciser should not squeak or create any loud noises during use.

The springs themselves don’t actually squeak; if your Cellerciser begins to make a squeaking noise, it is caused by the places on the unit where steel rubs against steel. In this case, simply apply a drop of oil at both ends of each spring where metal touches metal, at the pin through the frame, and at the bar on the mat.

That’s up to you! We recommend that you go easy when you start out. You can start with just 10 minutes a day, or work your way up to longer exercise sessions.

Please consult your healthcare provider before beginning the Cellerciser fitness program if you have a serious medical condition.

The bi-fold Cellerciser folds in half for easy storage or transport. The tri-fold folds up into thirds, and is suitable as an airplane carry-on.

People of all ages, from children to adults, can benefit from regular use of the Cellerciser. Our happy customers include families with young children, busy working professionals, the elderly, and world-class athletes.

Yes! Because the Cellerciser works every muscle in your body, you’ll get a very effective workout. With just 10 minutes of exercise per day, people typically begin seeing results with the Cellerciser in as little as 3 weeks.

The Cellerciser provides the safest bounce and best long-term value compared to other high-end rebounders on the market. The Cellerciser’s anodized steel frame lasts forever, and its highly durable mat will not stretch or erode over time.

The Cellerciser is the only rebounder to use double-patented, triple-tiered, tri-flex springs that adjust to each user’s weight and move with your body for a smooth, injury-free bounce. Bungee cord models can stretch out and lose elasticity over time, meaning you’ll need to replace them or will suffer from a lack of joint support; these models also require purchasing different bands or bungees for each member of the family’s individual weight and bounce height.

If you are truly interested in changing your health and taking advantage of the benefits of rebounding, it pays off to get a high quality rebounder. Not only do cheap rebounder models break down quickly, poor mat quality and springs can cause a jarring bounce, leading to potential injury to your joints, ligaments, bones and muscles.

The Cellerciser’s all-steel frame, superior mat, and double-patented, triple-tiered springs provide long-term durability and the best bounce possible.
