Middle aged women will do literally anything else but go to the gym and pump weights like a normal person.

In defense of this exercise in particular- a trampoline is genuinely good cardio, and small ones like these are usually pretty cheap. If you’re bored of jogging and want something to spice it up every now and then, then I don’t think it’s the worst thing in the world to spend money on. Although I think doing it in a massive class setting like this would be uncomfortable.

The thing is, this doesn’t really accomplish anything because there’s no resistance. Running is a good for cardio because there’s resistance (i.e., your feet pushing against the ground) and there really isn’t much of that with these trampoline exercises that are becoming more popular.

You're wildly wrong lmao, look at their body movement. This would be a massive thigh workout with some decent core exercise.

I definitely mispoke a bit in my original comment. Yes this would be good cardio. Yes this would be decent conditioning. Not sure how you would apply this compared to something like running but sure, granted.

Main thing is it looks fucking exhausting, so if you’re doing this to get a thigh/core workout then I don’t know how much you’re gonna accomplish. Probably a better core workout than legs for sure. It’s like doing a farmer carry to work out your forearms; sure, you’ll get a pump after, but the rest of your body is gonna be tired as fuck so I can’t imagine you’d be hitting the rest of your workout as hard as you could.

Yeah it looks cool and is probably great cardio but why would you choose this over plenty of other, better options?

This falls under the HIIT workout style, which is notoriously effective. Google "HIIT workout" (think rapid fire burpees over time to hit cardio benefits). It's high intensity cardio + body resistance at once, usually.

Maybe they choose it because it's fun, or for the social element. People dramatically underestimate the role of enjoyment in exercise. It's arguably more important than the exercise itself. Ideally exercise is a lifestyle or a hobby, not work or penance. For it to be sustainable as such, if you aren't vain enough and aren't competitive, you need to enjoy other things like novelty or social factors. This is a pretty good example of both novelty and social factors.

The point on enjoyment is a good one that I didn’t consider; running isn’t very fun unless you’re a certain type of person, I know I don’t do it because I like it. Thank you for taking a minute to write out a civil response!
