Silvia herself is in her 6th decade of life, and has been rebounding for a few years now – it has totally changed her life! She particularly loves the fact that rebounding is especially beneficial to women in her age group because it is low-impact, and really kind and forgiving on the body.
Her bounti GLO style offers a unique approach to rebounding, incorporating movements that are slower, smoother and more controlled. The routines within GLO are also designed to be more repetitive, which assists in improving memory, and allows for easier learning and enjoyment. bounti GLO is the ultimate recipe for embracing life's golden years with vitality and enthusiasm!

Vicki
Vicki’s fitness journey began at 19 when she first stepped into the gym. Over the years, she immersed herself in powerlifting, competing as a master lifter and earning her Protea colours multiple times. With a passion for strength, she set numerous records across various body weight categories and even dabbled in bodybuilding, racking up several competition wins along the way! However, the years of heavy lifting took their toll, leading to tendon injuries that ultimately prompted her to seek a gentler yet effective way to stay active.
Enter rebounding! During the lockdown in 2020, Vicki discovered the joy of bouncing her way to fitness. After completing the bounti Instructor's Course in April 2022, she fell head over heels for the fun and healing aspects of this low-impact modality. Her enthusiasm for rebounding led her to complete our more specialised bounti HIIT Instructor's Course in October 2022, allowing her to further diversify her fitness offerings.
With her extensive background in strength training and a newfound love for bouncing, Vicki brings a unique perspective to the bounti family. She also holds qualifications in the bounti Fly (bungee fitness) modality, offering classes that incorporate this exciting approach.
