Our Journey, and Yours
Hi, we're Sally and Stephie, identical twin sisters and the founders of I Jump Instead. Most people know us as the Trophy Twins.
Why "Trophy"? It started as a pose. In our classes we'd say: squeeze your body like a statue, like a trophy. The move became the trophy pose, somebody called us the Trophy Twins, and it stuck. Now the word runs through everything we do, and we'd love you to call yourself a Trophy too. To us, being a Trophy means working toward your strongest, healthiest self.
Why "I Jump Instead"? Because that's the honest answer to how we train. No weights, no machines, no gym membership: when it was time to get strong, we jumped instead. The name is our whole method in three words.
We discovered rebounding in 2012, but 2016 is when we made the investment and truly began our jumping journey.
We started on the Cellerciser, chosen because of this YouTube video from 2014. It praised the sturdy all-metal frame, the light and portable build, the weatherproof mat that won't mold, and what it called the most advanced, digitally tuned springs of any rebounder on the market, springs so well made you'd never need to replace them. We didn't know it then, but starting on the Cellerciser shaped the instructors we are today. That rebounder lived up to its reputation and taught us everything we needed to become the best instructors we could possibly be.
However you choose to jump long term, a daily 12-minute class is your first landmark, so our recommendation is to give yourself one to three months to work up to it. The real progression begins after adaptation. If we'd understood the strength waiting on the other side, we would have eased in, one to three minutes a day at first, with understanding, respect, and excitement. Be patient at the start. Three months will fly by, and this will give you the fastest adaptation and results.
And that's how our journey began. Whenever you're ready to begin yours, we're here, and so is the whole Trophy community.
