Our bounti Instructors

Introducing bounti founder, Lisa Raleigh! She’s an exercise specialist, and been in the fitness and wellness industry for over 20 years. Since becoming a mom, Lisa discovered the true power of rebounding. It’s changed her life in so many ways, making her fitter, stronger, healthier and happier.

As the founder of South Africa’s leading premium rebounding brand, Lisa hosts many different types of bounti classes; from her cardio-dominant Flow classes, to heart-pumping HIIT, and even bungee fitness “bounti Fly” classes! She also enjoys instructing standard advanced rebounding classes, where she combines strength, Tabata, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), core, balance and flexibility work – all in a way that brings some of her character to the rebounder. With her background in personal training, she describes her classes as personal training on a rebounder!

Driven by results, Lisa incorporates creative choreography, exciting playlists and equipment (sometimes including a T-Bar to really ramp things up) that deliver the purest version of a bounti class. Her classes are uplifting, challenging and full of great energy!

Rulene

Rulene’s rebounding journey started with postnatal weight loss; she discovered the fitness modality after having her second baby. After seeing so many incredible changes in her body and health, she fell in love with the modality and just had to pursue instructing it! She likes to keep her bounti classes light, dynamic and comprehensive.

Her classes are perfect for those at a beginner to intermediate level, or for those who are simply looking for a lighter workout. If you’re still relatively new to rebounding, and want to improve on mastering the basics and fundamentals, it’s definitely a great place to start!

 She covers all the basics, including cardio, toning, strength and stretching, adding some equipment here and there. Enjoy some high-energy tunes and some well-deserved, guilt-free “me time”. Rulene’s classes are medicine for the body and soul.

One of my passions, and one of the things I’ve always loved learning more about, is early childhood development. My passion in life has always been kids – I was an au pair for Lisa’s daughter, Bella, while studying and I eventually became a teacher. 

Meg is incredibly passionate about both kids and rebounding! She’s professionally trained as a bounti Kids’ instructor, incredibly interested in early child development, and loves using rebounding as a way to help the little ones stay healthy, happy and active. Her passion for rebounding started when Lisa gifted her a rebounder – she fell in love with it by using it to exercise at home, and create fun dance routines. Her passion only grew when she witnessed how amazing and beneficial the modality can be for children! 

Although her main passion is kids, Meg also loves some fun “me time” and adores a bit of Zumba, which is where her Afro Fusion classes come in! These classes keep rebounding sexy with a hint of subtle. Afro Fusion will challenge your alter ego and requires a lot of hip action, so don’t be shy! During these classes, there’s a bit of dancing, some strength, abs for balance and a lot of laughing. Above all, Afro Fusion is tons of fun! This funky, versatile class is so much fun that you’ll forget you’re actually having a workout.

Cait

Cait is a trained actress, singer and dancer, with much experience working in musical theatre and the entertainment industry. To stay fit, she’s an avid marathon runner, but incorporates rebounding as her cross-training. When she discovered rebounding, it was love at first bounce! Bouncing helped her to strengthen her feet – which, prior to rebounding, were prone to pain and injury.

Cait offers the most amazing, dynamic beginner-friendly classes. Here, she blends the elements of cardio, strength and dance – which, with her background in performance art, she absolutely adores! She also regularly instructs intermediate classes, and she’s trained in HIIT too! She brings a youthful, trendy and hip air to her bounti classes, and would describe them as fun, energetic and quirky.

She also has a fiery passion for teaching children. She believes in spreading her knowledge and expertise to the youth of today! She occasionally offers family-friendly, bounti Kids’ classes for the little ones. For her, bounti manages to blend rebounding with her other passions – kids and performing!

Steph

Steph has always had a passion for ballet, movement and Pilates. As a very active person, she fell in love with rebounding’s unique intensity! Her Sculpt classes have more of a Pilates feel to them, with a sprinkle of some Barre principles and movements in each session. She still incorporates cardio and strength, with elements of control, balance, mobility, core work and alignment – Steph really values focusing on good technique!

Steph incorporates movements both on and off the rebounder to create a more dynamic session. Controlled exercises are also used a lot to effectively activate and recruit a variety of muscles, focussing on lengthening and toning. Her high-energy classes ensure building a level of muscle endurance and stability, working to strengthen and challenge your entire body!

Rebecca’s passion for Barre and movement meets her love for rebounding in her bounti Burn Classes! As an ex-professional ballerina and qualified Barre instructor, Becca brings such a unique approach to her classes. They incorporate Barre into rebounding to increase your fitness levels, enhance your strength and tone up – all in one dynamic, high-energy session!

Her classes focus on technique, balance, strength work and coordination, giving you a well-rounded rebounding workout that’s just as fun as it is challenging. The "burn" comes in where Rebecca takes one or two songs to focus on working a singular muscle group at a time (i.e. arms, abs or legs) to really make those muscles burn properly, before moving on. Bring your A-game, and get ready for a fun session of sweat and smiles, where you’ll really “burn” it out!

Brad blends his rebounding experience with his expertise as a qualified personal trainer and strength and conditioning coach. His classes really up the intensity and encourage you to push yourself! Don’t worry, his motivating energy inspires you to bring your A-game and push beyond your limits.

Brad’s classes are typically short and sweet. They’re all about working as hard as possible, with a HIIT-based, circuit-training style. His workouts often incorporate interval training, with periods of intense work, followed by short moments of rest. Although they’re short, don’t be fooled! Brad’s classes are still super effective; great for torching calories, improving your cardiovascular health, increasing muscle mass and boosting your mood. Here, time efficiency meets maximum effectiveness. Get fit fast!

Silvia Miles’ style of rebounding is known as “bounti GLO”, which stands for “Gorgeous Ladies Owning (it)”. Although suitable for any age, stage and fitness level, bounti GLO is targeted towards older ladies, between the ages of 50 and 60. Silvia herself is in her 6th decade of life, and has been rebounding for a few years now – it has totally changed her life!

Rebounding has been a tremendous source of inspiration and motivation for her. There’s nothing quite like the joy Silvia feels after a fantastic workout with good music! She particularly loves the fact that rebounding is especially beneficial to women in her age group because it is low-impact, and really kind and forgiving on the body.

Her bounti GLO style offers a unique approach to rebounding, incorporating movements that are slower, smoother and more controlled. The routines within GLO are also designed to be more repetitive, which assists in improving memory, and allows for easier learning and enjoyment. bounti GLO is the ultimate recipe for embracing life's golden years with vitality and enthusiasm!

Tertia loves movement and always has. She studied dance, and it’s been her entire career since then! While studying, she would exercise with a personal trainer, because – even though her primary passion is dance – she’s always been extremely passionate about fitness as well. With rebounding, Tertia is able to keep fit and supple, while staying injury-free. As a dancer, she’s always valued taking care of her body and, with rebounding, she can train as often and as hard as she wants without the wear and tear!

Tertia’s bounti Classes are where rebounding, fitness and dance collide in a fun, high-energy and rhythmical way. Her workouts are all about the music, with reps and sets done to the tempo and beat. These classes focus on musicality and coordination, while still providing a well-rounded workout that includes all the classic elements of rebounding, like balance, strength and toning. Whether you’re a musical theatre babe or a hardcore hip-hopper, Tertia’s got the right playlist for you

Lisa G

Lisa G discovered rebounding through her close, years-long friendship with Lisa Raleigh. She fell in love with the modality during Lockdown, and has been incredibly passionate about it ever since. Although she’s actually the head instructor at our bounti Ballito Studio, she occasionally pops in to our Bryanston bounti Studio to give a class or two whenever she’s in town.

Lisa’s G’s intermediate-level classes consist of a variety of different strength training and toning exercises, focussing on the conscious and mindful movement of the body. She tends to focus a lot on breathing and targeting each muscle group. Her sessions are where strength, endurance and hard work meet mindfulness and spirituality!
