Kangoo Jump Boots are rebound boots that compress with each step, absorbing impact athletic activity can cause to the joints. They give the user a feeling of lightness without compromising stability. The Kangoo Club New Jersey meets weekly at locations in Cherry Hill, Berlin, Runnemede, Stratford and Sicklerville for intense, but fun, full-body workouts. Boot rentals are available at every class. Check the club’s Facebook page for up-to-date events and classes.
