A new fitness studio in Warminster is turning exercise on its head – quite literally.
Velocity Bungee Fitness, based at Norbeck Enterprise Centre, offers classes using suspended bungee rigs that allow participants to jump, glide and exercise with reduced impact on their joints.
“The idea came from a desire to bring something genuinely different to the local fitness scene,” said owner Stacey Holborow. “It’s fun, inclusive and accessible to people who might not feel at home in a traditional gym.”
Stacey opened the studio after trying bungee fitness herself.
“After experiencing bungee fitness firsthand and seeing how empowering it could be, I knew it was something worth bringing to Warminster and the surrounding areas,” she said.
“You’re harnessed to a bungee cord suspended from purpose-built rigging, which supports your weight and allows you to jump, glide and move in ways you simply can’t on the ground.
“It’s high-energy and great fun, but also surprisingly accessible. The bungee takes pressure off your joints, so you can perform movements like lunges, jumps, and even floor work with far less impact. It feels like a mix between a workout and flying!
“Most people come in unsure of what to expect and leave smiling, it’s challenging, but in a way that feels enjoyable rather than intimidating.”
The studio attracts a wide range of customers, from complete beginners to experienced gym users, as well as people recovering from injury or managing joint conditions.
“A significant number of people are drawn to the low-impact nature of bungee fitness, whether they’re recovering from injury, managing joint issues, or simply want a workout that’s kinder to their body,” added Stacey.
“Our range of classes is designed to appeal to everyone, from first-timers to fitness fanatics. For those looking for a higher-intensity workout, our HIIT-style bungee classes are particularly popular, combining strength and cardio elements like burpees with the added thrill of flight, creating a workout that is both challenging and incredibly fun.”
Velocity Bungee Fitness also offers private hire sessions for birthday parties, team-building events and staff away days.
