Vertimax V-8+ Elite Exercise Trainer

"The VertiMax V6 is the best and only training system to incorporate upper body loading into an already highly effective explosion training device. The use of the upper body in improving the lift aspect of vertical jump training is a giant breakthrough for all skill levels..." - Garrett Giemont - NFL 2002 Strength & Conditioning Coach of the Year

"VertiMax is the best jump training system on the market for developing absolute and reactive power in athletes." - John Arce, Head Strength Coach - Arkansas State

Lower Body Reactive Power
Is the most vital attribute any athlete can possess! It's what makes plays and wins games. It's the fundamental requirement for getting out of the blocks, first-step-quickness, and the vertical jump.

Low Load, Velocity -Specific Training
Exercise physiologists now agree, a new and separate type of training called Low-Load, Velocity -Specific Training is the absolute best way to increase LOWER BODY REACTIVE POWER. It is the most effective way to recruit the fast twitch type B muscle fibers necessary to create explosive power

Vertimax is the world's most advanced Low-Load, High Speed Training System
This type of training is a necessary part of any speed and performance program. If you're still just doing heavy resistance and plyo, - you will see NEW results when you add Light Load, High Speed Training.

Hundreds of Resistance Settings Hundreds of resistance levels can be set in a matter of seconds - without changing or adding any components. Resistance bands can be retracted or extracted from the sides of the platform to set varying resistance levels for specific routines or individual athletes. Cam cleats on the platform edge are used to lock the resistance bands in place after each adjustment. A Calibration Chart comes with each VertiMax so athletes may know the how many pounds of resistance are represented by the various 'settings' marks.
The Largest Training Area of Any Platform Trainer The "Standard" size platform has a 12 sq. ft. exercise area (mat). The larger "Elite" size platform has a 16 sq. ft. exercise area. Athletes can safely perform one and two step sports-specific movements such as lunges and foot drills.
The Safest Landings of any System VertiMax implements a two-tiered impact dampening system, including a super Plyo Mat (endorsed by the USA Jump Rope Assoc.), and eight shock absorbers under the platform. The dual impact dampening system is one more example that both performance and safety are important to VertiMax. (The last thing you want is an injury in the training room.)
VertiMax Stays Grounded During Use There's no need to have two people hold it down or pile dumbbells on top, because: (a). It's heavy enough that it rarely lifts, (b) there are large suction devices on the bottom of each leg to keep it grounded when in use on a hard surface, and (c) if it is used on a carpeted surface (and the suction devices are ineffective) there are weight-plate retaining lock studs on the undersurface of the platform, onto which you can easily attach standard gym weights.
It's Portable VertiMax arrives completely assembled, with permanently attached side-facing wheels. Move it around the weight room or roll it out on the gym floor. If space is limited, one person can easily tilt it up onto its side, roll it to a closet or storage area, and lean it against a wall where it will only take up six inches of floor space.
