FAQ – jumping boots and classes

Yes, absolutely anyone can try jumping boots, even if they are not especially athletic. Everyone takes to them quickly regardless of age or weight, and children fall in love with them straight away. We also adapt our classes to new “jumpers” and start with a slower warm-up, then the basic steps, gradually adding simple routines you will manage in your very first class. So there is nothing to worry about, and you will see clear progress in every following class. Take a look at our video gallery and come and jump with us.

We also sell the jumping boots version Kangoo jumps KJ PRO 7, rated up to 145 kg, or Fit boots also up to a body weight of approx. 140 kg.

Kangoo Jumps were originally invented as a rehabilitation aid specifically for people recovering from injuries to support faster recovery and rebuilding muscle mass. Because the boot suspension absorbs up to 80% of impact, movement is softer and more springy, reducing strain on the musculoskeletal system. However, everyone is different, so it is important to be cautious and try the boots first. We have very positive feedback from clients with various pains or after knee or back surgeries, who finally found a sport they can do without difficulty. If you have had any serious injury or are dealing with back pain, etc., please always inform the instructor in advance.

Just be careful downhill so the boots do not run away with you; we recommend starting by walking and gradually adding a slow jog.
