Trampolining and gymnastics

Question

Im wondering if anyone knows if its possible to somehow rent a professinal trampoline. Like i rent it for 2 hours and go to the building and have my time on it? something like that. I dont mean bring to my house. Because Im not sure of where there are any trampolining lesson neer-by. Theres one place buy they only teach rec trampolining. Same applies with gymnastics. Its advanced gym im looking for. I used to be in salford advanced gymnastics i quit a few years back because i broke my elbow. its fine now and i want to start up I can still do everything basic plus more but with me taking a gap and being aged 15 i don't think they'd take me back. Plus i dont really like competition. Id like to do it to enjoy it. Not to win anything. I need to know where there are good mats for practicing backhandsprings on. Not a massive crashmat but not a flat one which is plasticcy. I want one with abit of cushion. If you have any info about anything please tell me. I live in the United Kingdom - Manchester.

Answer 1

it seems like you want something to do on your own rather than a class. i dont know about renting a trampoline, but most gymnastics centers have open gyms on certain days that either are free or for a small fee. it depends on who is there, but this could get you some independant trampoline time and time on mats to practice a backhandspring. your previous gym will probably have an open gym at some time, otherwise i would take private classes. as for finding a gym, google maps will find you one in your area.
