The Ness Rebounder Fitness Studio in Tribeca: 2 Classes, $48

If you have been searching for a rebounder fitness studio in Manhattan, The Ness is the one most New Yorkers name first. The studio teaches beat-driven cardio on individual mini trampolines, and its home is a glass-fronted storefront at Church and Thomas Streets in Tribeca. The Ness, at 200 Church Street, runs in-studio classes seven days a week, alternating bounce sessions with floor-based sculpt work. First-timers get a buy-one-get-one intro offer listed at $48, which means two classes for the price of one.

Colette Dong and Aly Giampolo founded The Ness in 2019, building a following for a dance-style workout done on mini trampolines. For years the studio lived in an upstairs room on Broadway, where you had to know it was there. In May 2024 the Tribeca Citizen reported that The Ness had taken a ground-floor space on Church Street at Thomas Street, and the new flagship opened that November with more room, a recovery suite and a street presence that finally matches the brand's reputation.

Every bounce class is set to a playlist, and the instructor cues short combinations that repeat and build until the whole room moves on the beat. You lift away from the mat and drive back down into it, so the trampoline takes the landing instead of your knees. The studio is upfront that the method takes practice. Its own about page says it can take three to four classes to get your footing on the trampoline, so plan a short run of visits before you judge it.

The schedule names its trampoline classes by difficulty, which helps beginners avoid a rough first morning. Simple Bounce uses slower beats and approachable sequences. Bounce Stability works on control and balance, and Bounce Essentials builds stamina while teaching the foundations. Once those feel easy, Bounce Intermediate adds a quicker pace and layered choreography, Bounce Advanced turns the choreography intricate, and Bounce HIIT mixes bounce patterns with high-intensity intervals. Duo splits the hour between trampoline cardio and strength work on the floor.

The Ness pairs its trampoline method with a second signature format called sculpt, which brings the same rhythm to strength training. Sculpt classes use props and beat-driven sequences rather than heavy barbells, and the menu runs from mat and simple sculpt to classic, ness and cardio versions. Regulars often alternate days, bouncing for cardio and sculpting for strength. You can book a bounce and a sculpt on the same day, and the studio's FAQ confirms there is no cap on how many classes you take.

Pricing is published on the studio's site. A single studio class costs $48, a four-class pack costs $184 and a ten-class pack costs $440. Memberships come in three tiers, Mini at $160 a month, Medium at $380 and Big at $720, and each includes monthly classes, plunge or sauna access, priority booking and members-only classes. Students, active military and working dance professionals can email the studio for a 15% discount. All purchases are final, though unused value can be turned into studio credit.

Sneakers are required for both bounce and sculpt, which surprises people used to barefoot studios. Bring a water bottle, because the studio supplies a refill station and sweat towels but not bottles. Cancel at least 12 hours ahead or you lose the class credit, and private training needs 24 hours notice. Classes are designed for clients 16 and older, and anyone under 18 needs a parent or guardian to sign the waiver. Booking is done on the website after you create an account.

The Church Street flagship added recovery to the workout. A cold plunge is held between 40 and 44 degrees Fahrenheit, and experienced plungers can ask staff to drop it to 37. Next to it is an infrared sauna, and both cost $45 for a single session. Swimwear is required for either. The gender-neutral locker room has two private showers stocked with body wash, shampoo and conditioner, and a beauty bar with styling tools means you can head straight to work afterwards.

Booking opens on the website once you have an account, so reserve early if you need one particular time slot. If you are new, pick a Simple Bounce or Bounce Essentials slot rather than a HIIT class. Arrive early enough to change into sneakers and pick a trampoline toward the back, where you can watch the people who already know the combinations. The water station and the tea and tonic bar in the lobby are good places to cool off afterwards.

The studio sits on the east edge of Tribeca, a short walk from several subway lines. The Chambers Street stations serve the 1, 2 and 3 trains along with the A and C, and the City Hall station on the R and W is a few blocks east. Thomas Street is a short, quiet block, so look for the corner windows on the west side of Church Street, where the rows of trampolines are visible from the sidewalk before you reach the door.

After class, walk west along Thomas Street toward Duane Park, a tiny triangle of benches and trees surrounded by old warehouse buildings. From there, Washington Market Park on Greenwich Street has a lawn and playground where neighborhood families gather. Keep heading west and you reach Hudson River Park and the walkway along the river at Pier 26. On the way back, City Hall Park is a calm detour with its fountain and benches.

If you cannot make it to Tribeca every week, The Ness sells a digital subscription with more than 1,000 on-demand workouts at $39.99 a month after a seven-day free trial. The studio also sells its own home trampoline, built with elastic bungees instead of springs so it does not squeak, with arched legs to resist tipping and a 275 lb weight limit. The instructors travel too, and the FAQ says the team frequently teaches in the Hamptons, in Aspen and in Los Angeles, with dates announced through the newsletter. Private sessions are available either in the studio or online.
