The Low-Impact Workout That Burns More Calories Than a Stair Climber

We tried it, we loved it. The Ness

There are climbers. There are treadmills. There are rowing machines collecting dust in the corner of every gym you've ever joined. And then, there's The Ness.

If you haven't heard of it yet, consider this your sign.

So what is The Ness, exactly?

The Ness is a trampoline-based fitness method born in New York City that somehow manages to be one of the highest-calorie-burning workouts you can do — while also being one of the lowest impact on your body. Yes, both of those things are true at the same time. We checked.

We're talking less stress on your joints, your knees, and your articulations than a typical yoga or pilates session, while you're actually burning more than you would on a stair climber. And no that's not a typo.

Why we're obsessed

For the WellEdit community, movement has always been about sustainability. It's not about punishing your body, it's about finding what lights you up and keeps you coming back. The Ness hits that sweet spot perfectly. The bouncing isn't just fun (although it absolutely is).

  • It activates your core
  • Low impact on your knees
  • Gets your heart rate up in a way that feels more like a dance party than a workout.

Your body doesn't realize how hard it's working until you wake up the next morning kind of sore in the best way.

This is the kind of workout that changes the conversation around fitness. Low impact doesn't mean low results. It means you can actually do this long-term, without breaking yourself down in the process.


Get one week free with online classes

Here's the best part: you don't need to be in New York to experience it. The Ness offers online classes, and right now you can enjoy one free week to try it all out.

Whether you're in Miami, Austin, New York or anywhere in between.
