A seating system for detachable mounting onto a supporting frame of an elevated exercise structure is disclosed. The seating system includes a rigid frame assembly having a horizontal frame and a vertical member connected together using a mechanical attachment devices. The horizontal frame and the vertical member are reinforced using supporting cross members. A hook portion is attached to the vertical member to engage the rigid frame assembly with the supporting frame of the elevated exercise structure. There is a clamping device provided on a bottom portion of the vertical member securely attach the rigid frame assembly to a supporting leg of the elevated exercise structure. The seating arrangement can be removably attached to the horizontal frame to allow users to sit beside the elevated exercise structure such as a trampoline. The seating means further includes a backrest portion removably attached to the horizontal frame using a spring lock arrangement.
