ROCKIN’ JUMP – MOUNT KISCO
333 North Bedford Road, #225, Mount Kisco
914-743-5730
Email info@mtk.rockinjump.com
At Rockin’ Jump, we believe exercise should be fun. Our Mt. Kisco location, is only 15 minutes from most areas of Fairfield County. Instead of stair climbers and weight machines we created an 18,000-square-foot facility where you can soar in open jump arenas, do flips into pools of soft foam cubes, play trampoline dodgeball, and do extraordinary basketball dunks. Some trampoline fitness facts: Jumping burns three times more calories than jogging. Six minutes on a trampoline can equal one mile of jogging. Jumping puts slight stress on your bones, making them stronger.
