If you grew up on a classic rectangular trampoline in the backyard, you’ll remember the feeling; the smooth stretch of real springs, the solid bounce that sent you soaring, and the unmistakable clang of summer afternoons outside. Those trampolines weren’t just toys but part of growing up in New Zealand.
At Gymleader, we still make them the same way, using locally manufactured steel, proper coil springs, and heavy-duty mats. They’re built to last, to feel right, and to keep generations of families bouncing together.
NZ-Made Trampolines, Built to Last
There’s something special about owning a product that’s made at home. Our trampolines are manufactured in New Zealand, right here in our Auckland workshop, using strong, galvanised steel frames that can handle New Zealand conditions year after year. Every weld, spring, and stitch is designed for performance, not just for one or two summers, but for generations.
And when the day eventually comes that your mat, pads, or springs need replacing, you won’t be stuck searching online for imported parts that don’t fit. We make and stock all the pieces locally, so you can bring your trampoline back to life instead of throwing it away.
Real Springs. Real Bounce.
When modern “springless” designs appeared, they promised innovation, but many Kiwis quickly noticed that something was missing. The bounce just wasn’t the same.
That’s because real coil springs deliver a natural, responsive feel that’s hard to replicate. The even tension across the mat gives you lift and control, a rhythm you can grow into.
And with the right setup, a traditional trampoline is every bit as safe. A level surface, quality pads, and a clear play area go a long way. It’s a simple, proven design that’s stood the test of time, for good reason.
The Trampoline That Keeps on Giving
We still hear from families who bought their Gymleader trampolines in the 1970s and 80s — and are now ordering new mats or pads so the grandkids can bounce on the same frame. That’s the Kiwi difference: buy once, maintain when needed, and keep it going.
There’s something special about seeing a new generation using the same setup that once defined your own summers. You can’t say that for many modern backyard “toys.”
The Perfect Kiwi Gift
Whether it’s for the grandkids, the family home, or a backyard upgrade, a real trampoline is a gift that keeps on giving healthy, outdoor fun that lasts far beyond Christmas morning.
And because they’re made locally, you won’t be waiting on overseas shipping or worrying about replacements down the track. You’ll have a genuine Kiwi-made product, backed by a team that takes pride in making the best bounce in the backyard.

Because classics don’t go out of style, they just keep bouncing.
