SNL's Hilarious Bungee Fitness Skit
Bungee Fitness Takes the Spotlight on SNL – And It’s No Joke!
Bungee fitness has been making waves in the fitness world for years, but now it’s getting national attention—thanks to Saturday Night Live! In a recent episode, comedian Michael Longfellow took on bungee fitness in a hilarious sketch, only to reveal afterward that the workout was much tougher than he expected.
SNL’s Take on Bungee Fitness
The sketch featured Timothée Chalamet as an over-the-top bungee instructor, leading a group through a comically easy routine. Michael Longfellow’s character questioned, “Is this supposed to be hard?”—but behind the scenes, it turns out bungee fitness was challenging.
After the show, Longfellow admitted on Instagram:
“After this sketch ended, I vomited from exhaustion into a recycling bin as this was actually a very intense workout for me.”
That’s the magic of bungee fitness—it looks fun and effortless, but it’s an incredible full-body workout that engages your core, improves endurance, and builds strength.
The Real Innovation Behind Bungee Fitness
While the SNL sketch played up the humor, bungee fitness is no gimmick—it’s a revolutionary way to exercise. And it all started with Patty Cummings, the inventor of bungee fitness and the founder of Astro-Durance®.
Patty’s mission was to create a low-impact, high-intensity fitness system that supports the body while delivering an effective and exhilarating workout. Bungee fitness is designed to be easy on the joints, adaptable for all fitness levels, and—most importantly—fun!
