Byrne currently teaches the Trampoline Aerobics Fitness Classes at Bounce! several days a week; the class is often full with new comers as well as seasoned athletes. "Working out on a giant trampoline provides an incredible opportunity for full body conditioning in a safe and fun environment. The feedback we get is that the workout is not only substantial, it's a social interactive experience making it easy to stick with it," says Byrne.
Byrne is currently planning non-competitive gymnastics and tumbling classes at Bounce! for different age groups as well as fitness classes for new moms and their infants and toddlers.
