For most of us, any exercise we do ends up being a grind, and something we have to force ourselves to do for our health. Especially cardio. Most of us hate cardio, right? And some of us aren’t able to do cardio in the more standard ways. Walking, running, stair climbers…they can all have an impact on our joints. Wouldn’t it be nice if cardio could be fun?
That’s where exercise trampolines come in. If you want to channel your inner kid and enjoy your heart-health-improving activities, an exercise trampoline is the way to go. They’re small enough to fit in any room of your house, they’re easy to put together solo, and there’s actually a lot you can do on them to help yourself get or stay healthy.
Sounds like a sweet deal to us. You, too? Awesome! But you shouldn’t go out and buy the first exercise trampoline you find. They’re all different, and we want you to get the right one. How do you do that? You’ve got to think about the price, size, handlebar setup, weight capacity, and more.
This comprehensive guide will investigate the best exercise trampolines in Canada right now and outline the criteria you should consider while making your purchase decision. Let’s dive right into our top five products.
Once you get to know the Darchen 40” Mini Trampoline for Adults, you’ll probably fall in love with it, too. The standout feature of this option is the bungee attachment. That’s right, no springs!
Not only is this style safer, but it’s also quieter and longer-lasting. They can support a ton of weight, too. 450 pounds, to be exact! That’s the most inclusive weight capacity you’ll find, and we love that the most.
We also love how portable it is. You won’t have to worry about removing or folding any parts to make it storable, and since it only weighs 13 pounds, it’s easy to carry around or throw in your vehicle. The rubber feet on each of the six legs provide tons of stability, and protect your floor while they’re at it.
We’ve only got a couple of things to share with you that fall into the not-so-great feature list. First of all, there’s no handlebar, so you might not feel totally secure doing all of your movements. It’s also not the easiest thing to put together. You may need some help. Or multiple breaks. Or both.
Reviewers are thrilled with the Darchen 40” Mini Trampoline for Adults. The only problem they had was getting it assembled — for most, it was a two-person job. Otherwise, they have nothing to complain about! The bungee attachments are super quiet while they bounce, and the high weight capacity means they can achieve a high-intensity workout without fear of bottoming out. It’s great for the whole family.
Pros:
Bungee system is near-silent and super stable
Most inclusive weight capacity around
Tip-proof and floor-protecting
Highly portable
Cons:
Performance: 5/5
Usability: 4.5/5
Price: 4/5
Quality: 5/5
Overall, the Darchen 40” Mini Trampoline for Adults was an easy choice for our top overall recommendation. It strikes the perfect balance between quality and a reasonable price, and it can go with you anywhere. It’s stable, versatile, and won’t hurt your floors no matter how much fun you get up to.
There are so many things we like about the OneTwoFit 48” Silent Mini Trampoline. The biggest one is probably the spring-free design. Instead, it uses bungee-style ropes to attach the jump pad to the frame. Not only does this material offer a great bounce with tons of support, but it’s also silent. Perfect for busy households where people need to work or sleep while others are enjoying the trampoline.
The handlebar is an optional addition, but if you decide to use it, you’ll love that it can be adjusted to three different heights. Perfect for the whole family! The hexagonal shape is another big draw. The corners give you some extra room to maneuver your body and try out some different exercises. As if that isn’t enough, this thing also protects your floor and improves its stability with grippy rubber feet.
There are a few things about this one that we don’t love. The price is a bit higher than we’d like, but for the quality, it’s still reasonable. And while we love the bungee system for all the good it does you, it’s also a real pain to put together. You’ll need some serious upper body and grip strength to have an easy time of it. We’d also prefer a bigger handlebar for a safer bounce.
Reviewers could not have a higher opinion of the OneTwoFit 48” Silent Mini Trampoline. They love the extra space they get with the hexagon shape, and the bungee attachments are so much quieter than springs. They are a big pain to attach, though. It’s so stable people don’t have any problems doing box jumps and other unbalanced exercises on it — they feel very safe, 100% of the time.
Dimensions: 48” x 48” x 42.5-50.4”
Jump Surface Diameter: 43”
Height Above Floor: 12.8”
Weight: 27.7 lbs
Weight Capacity: 330 lbs
Handlebar: Yes
Warranty: 1 year
Pros:
Handlebar is removable and adjustable to three different heights
Unique bungee rope system (instead of springs) provides a super stable and silent bounce
Anti-slip rubber pads protect your floor
Hexagonal shape is stable and offers more room
Cons:
More expensive than most exercise trampolines
Reach of the handlebar is pretty limited (same design as a scooter)
Tricky to get all the bungees attached — requires a fair amount of strength
Performance: 5/5
Usability: 4.5/5
Price: 4/5
Quality: 5/5
All in all, the OneTwoFit 48” Silent Mini Trampoline is worth the extra money. Without a doubt. It’s one of the most versatile options you’ll be able to find, and it will let you do absolutely anything on it without fear. It even protects your floor.
For a budget-friendly option, the Domyos Fit Trampo 100 Fitness Trampoline has quite a bit to boast about. It weighs only 15 pounds, so it’s an awesome companion for the cottage or get-togethers with friends who have older kids. It doesn’t have any parts that need to be removed or folded for storage either, so it’s great for homes with limited floor space.
One of our favourite things about it is the 36-spring design. Trampolines are all about the bounce, after all, and those springs do a great job of creating a supportive but fun bounce for all ages. You won’t have to worry about it tipping over, either. It’s got six feet to provide tons of stability, and they’re all covered in a grippy material to keep it in its place on the floor.
We have two issues to raise with this option. The first thing we’d change is the weight capacity — it isn’t sturdy enough to support more than 220 pounds safely. Also, there’s no handrail, so we don’t love it as an option for kids or any adults who need some extra support to keep their balance. No one needs to fall off of a trampoline.
Reviewers don’t have any complaints about the Domyos Fit Trampo 100 Fitness Trampoline. It doesn’t move around or scratch the floor at all, and the bounce is perfect for all kinds of exercises. It’s also really lightweight and easy to tuck away in only a few seconds, so it’s extra perfect for people who don’t have the floor space to leave it out all the time.
Dimensions: 39.8” x 39.8” x 8.7”
Jump Surface Diameter: 31.5”
Height Above Floor: 8.7”
Weight: 15 lbs
Weight Capacity: 220 lbs
Handlebar: No
Warranty: 2 years for parts and labour, 5 years for frame
Pros:
Can be stored easily without any folding or removable parts
Has 6 feet with grippy pads for extra stability on hard floors
36 springs provide a great bounce
Cons:
No handrail
Limited weight capacity
Performance: 5/5
Usability: 4/5
Price: 5/5
Quality: 4/5
All in all, the Domyos Fit Trampo 100 Fitness Trampoline is our favourite budget-friendly choice. Who knew you could get so much for so little? We don’t love that the weight capacity is so limiting, but we do love that it’s stable on the floor and made to stay out of the way.
The Little Tikes Light-Up 3’ Trampoline was an easy choice for our favourite kids’ pick. Why? The lights, of course! Yes, trampolines are very fun all by themselves, but the built-in LED lights on this one can create nine fun patterns while kids jump… way more fun, right!? But don’t worry, your kiddos will still be safe while they have all this fun. It has a handlebar wrapped in foam to protect little noggins and help kids stay on the trampoline.
The handle is foldable, too, which will make all of you parents very happy. You’ll be able to tuck it under furniture or lean it up against a wall without taking anything apart. Plus, it’ll fit well in your vehicle when you need to travel.
This kids’ trampoline is a well-rounded option, so we don’t have a ton of negative things to bring up. While we love the foam on the handle, it isn’t the most durable thing around, so you’ll need to keep an eye on it to make sure the metal underneath isn’t exposed over time. It’s also only sized for kids between ages 3 and 6, so they won’t get to use it for long.
Reviewers are happy with the Little Tikes Light-Up 3’ Trampoline. It’s sturdy even when two toddlers try to jump together, and the foam handle keeps kids balanced and protected when they accidentally bump their faces on it. The parents love how easy it is to fold and move around, and all the kids think it’s really fun and can’t get enough of it. A couple of people did mention that the foam tears easily, though.
Pros:
Built-in LED lights can create 9 fun patterns
Handle folds down for storage
Cushy foam on the handle lets kids get a good grip and stay safe
Very sturdy for kids within the weight limit
Cons:
Performance: 5/5
Usability: 4/5
Price: 4/5
Quality: 4/5
Overall, the Little Tikes Light-Up 3’ Trampoline is the best choice for the young’uns who’ve got more energy than they know what to do with. You can take it with you anywhere, and you can trust it to keep your kids safe and happy.
You know what we love? When every feature falls into the “Yes” column. With the FirstE 48″ Foldable Fitness Trampoline, that’s exactly what we get. A high weight capacity and a very durable, stable design means this trampoline is a perfect fit for everything from high-intensity cardio to a couple of kids goofing around. The entire thing is waterproof, too, so it’s easy to clean and can be used outside too.
It’s got a sweet handrail setup too. It extends almost the entire width of the trampoline and has a nice foam cover, so you’ll be able to feel secure, no matter what you’re doing on it. Plus, it’s adjustable to four different heights to make sure everyone can use it comfortably. And guess what’s even better than that? If you take the handlebar off, the trampoline folds down to a quarter of its size. Perfect for storage and travel.
There’s only one thing that we could possibly think to critique about this trampoline. And it’s a very minor thing — you just might need a bit more force than you’d think to get it to fold down.
Reviewers are absolutely in love with the FirstE 48″ Foldable Fitness Trampoline. It was incredibly easy for everyone to put together, and they’ve all been having so much fun with it. It’s being used by young kids, grandparents, and everyone in between. Some people use it for cardio workouts, others for balance exercises, and some love it for stress relief. It’s durable and very stable, too.

Overall, the FirstE 48″ Foldable Fitness Trampoline is an outstanding choice for, well, everybody. It’s quiet, built to go the distance, and will be a fun and useful piece of equipment for people of all ages. There’s really nothing to dislike about it.
Exercise trampolines can cost less than $100, but others can be five times that much (or more). Generally, you won’t have to pay more than $200 for a great option, though.
The jumping surface of an exercise trampoline refers to the space you can actually put your feet to bounce — the diameter that doesn’t include the frame or spring/bungee attachments. Some are less than 35” (kid sizes), others are 43” across and bigger. If you plan on enjoying your trampoline for a ton of different exercises, a larger jump surface will be better. If you just want to get your body moving, 37-40” will be plenty of space.
Not all exercise trampolines come with a handlebar, and the ones that do can have a couple of different styles. The setup that we like the best (and therefore recommend) is a long handlebar that extends almost the entire width of the trampoline. You’ll have more stability that way. The other common setup is a scooter-style handlebar with a center pole and short handles on either side.
The jumping surface of an exercise treadmill can attach to the frame with springs or bungee-style ropes. Springs are the most common material and will be cheaper, but they’re also noisier, can pose a safety hazard, and have a shorter lifespan than bungee ropes.
Exercise trampolines have a pretty wide range when it comes to weight capacity. Options for kids are usually limited to around 55 pounds, and adult limits can land anywhere between 220 pounds and 450 pounds. Obviously, a higher weight capacity will be more inclusive, and also a lot more stable and versatile.
