When it comes to bungee fitness, safety and quality are non-negotiable. As bungee workouts continue to gain popularity worldwide, it’s essential to use equipment that not only enhances performance but also protects the body from strain and injury. In this blog, Janneke van Amelsvoort, founder of Bungee Super Fly®, shares the design philosophy and engineering behind the brand’s high-performance harness and bungee system, explaining why ergonomics, adjustability, and durability are at the core of every piece of equipment.
Designed for Safety and Comfort
With a background in aerial acrobatics, Janneke understands that lives depend on high-quality equipment. The Bungee Super Fly® harness is designed to distribute weight evenly, reducing strain on the body and ensuring optimal comfort. One of its standout features is its pelvic support and core activation design, which naturally opens the pelvic area, improving mobility, flexibility, and core stability while preventing lower back stress. Unlike cheaper alternatives that press uncomfortably into the stomach and ribs, the Bungee Super Fly® harness sits lower on the hips, allowing for better balance and natural movement.
Janneke emphasizes that safety is built into every aspect of the design. “People often do crazy things when they see a bungee, they just want to clip in and go,” she says. “That’s why we designed our equipment to be safe, supportive, and easy to use, so users can focus on movement without worrying about discomfort or injury.”
Effortless Clipping System – No Assistance Needed
Another key feature of the Bungee Super Fly® harness is that it allows independent use, meaning anyone can clip in and out without assistance. The simple step-in system makes it easy to get started—just hook one side in, shift to the other, wrap the bungee around, clip in, and you’re ready to move. The quick-release system is just as intuitive, allowing users to exit the harness easily whenever needed, whether for a break, a quick adjustment, or in an emergency.
What Makes Bungee Super Fly® Different?
Many bungee harnesses on the market have leg loops that are not integrated with the hip belt, causing them to ride up uncomfortably during movement. Janneke and her team solved this issue by attaching the leg loops directly to the hip belt, ensuring a secure and stable fit.
Other harnesses often place buckles in the front, which press into the body during movement, making workouts painful. The Bungee Super Fly® design moves these buckles to the back, preventing pressure points while allowing for full range of motion. The padding is designed to move with the body, keeping support exactly where it’s needed. These adjustments make a huge difference in comfort, usability, and overall safety, setting Bungee Super Fly® apart from lower-quality alternatives.
Adjustable for All Body Types
Inclusivity is a major focus of Bungee Super Fly®. The harness is designed to fit a wide range of body sizes, making bungee fitness accessible to children, adults, and plus-size users alike. The hip belt adjusts up to 130 cm in waist size, while the leg loops expand up to 90 cm, ensuring a secure, ergonomic fit for all body types. Unlike traditional harnesses, the padding remains in the correct position even when resized, ensuring that every user gets the support and comfort they need.
Customizable Bungee Resistance for Every User
Not everyone requires the same level of resistance in their bungee workout, which is why Bungee Super Fly® bungees are fully adjustable. Users can easily increase resistance by adding more bungee cords for additional support, or reduce resistance to allow for greater bounce and mobility. Unlike many other bungee systems, Bungee Super Fly® allows users to inspect and adjust their bungees, thanks to an open protective sock that lets them check for wear and tear, a crucial safety feature not found in many generic alternatives.
Why Investing in Quality Equipment Matters
Choosing cheap bungee equipment can lead to injuries, discomfort, and gear failure, risks no instructor or fitness studio should take. The Bungee Super Fly® system is designed with professional-grade materials, ensuring that users can train safely while maximizing their performance. By investing in the right equipment, studios and trainers can offer a safer, more enjoyable experience that keeps clients coming back.
Janneke sums it up perfectly: “If you’re going to bring bungee fitness into your space, do it the right way with equipment that ensures safety and joy for everyone involved.”
