MOVE. CONNECT. GROW. SHINE.
Our story
About Us
Bounce and Boogie started with one pair of Kangoo Jumps, a Baltimore parking lot and a belief that fitness should feel like freedom.
Why We Created Bounce and Boogie
Too many girls and women quit moving because workouts felt punishing, boring or intimidating. We wanted the opposite: music loud, energy high, judgment nowhere. Rebound fitness gave us the answer — it protects joints, burns serious calories and honestly feels like flying.
What started as a weekend meetup became a mentorship program. Girls came for the boots and stayed for the sisterhood. Today we run youth and adult classes across Baltimore and Harford County, plus community pop-ups, school partnerships and scholarship-funded spots for families who need them.
