20 Best Vertical Jump Program (2022 Updated)

Great for working out with and was not cheaply made.

Great workout!! Feel the burn soon as you put them on. I will update this when I have more results on how high and fast I can jump and run after using it.

Arrived quickly. Directions were extremely easy to follow and all pieces fit well. Holes are pre-drilled. I like the inner brace to provide more stability.

I absolutely love my balancefrom 3 in 1 box. I am 54 years old and have been doing crossfit for 2 years now. One of scariest things for me was to jump onto the 20″ box. It is very intimidating and scary because all crossfitters have horror stories of hitting their shins when they have been tired.

They love to show you their scars on their shins. I have seen people do it and it looks so painful. I do RX the 20″ box jump but our crossfit gym only has wooden boxes. One day I decided I know longer wanted to risk scraping my shins (I made it 2 years without scraping my shins) so I started reviewing soft box options.

I read many reviews and balancefrom had the best reviews. I can say that I love it. I bought the light weight version because I leave the box in my car and take it to crossfit on box jump days. I am very happy.

I can jump on the 20″ faster because I am not scared of missing and if I do no worries. I also jump on the 24″ side and have no worries. I weigh 130lbs and the box is plenty sturdy. I should have bought one sooner.

If you love to crossfit like me, but are nervous about your shins invest in this box!.

Product arrived on time and in good shape. Visually it looked just as the picture did on the web site but on closer examination it had some very minor bleeding of colors on the white colored numbers.

Edges are what I wanted, padded. I opened the zipper and noticed underneath was dense foam. Appears to be 3-4in. thick all around the main box. Definitely don’t have to worry about bruised shins or anything else.

The weight feels good and it doesn’t move a lot on wood flooring or an outdoor rug. Almost no movement on gym workout interlocking exercise foam mats. The covering seems to stick or create a slight suction to the the mats and wood flooring.

So far I am very satisfied with the box.

I wanted a jump box to complete my home gym and was excited to receive the BalanceFrom by delivery. Same day I used it for some phyllo exercises in my workout room and it was great. It easily held my weight with stability when jumping hard on it.

The different heights but light weight nature of the box made it easy to switch from side to side for different exercises. I am happy to have added this functional box to my workout routine.

This jump box is very unstable and borderline dangerous. I weigh 150 pounds and this thing would almost tip over every time I jumped on it. It never made it into my gym because it’s too much of a liability and high risk.

I just bought this product today and tried it out; I’m glad I kept the receipt. It’s very clumsy and time-consuming to put on (the instructions are not very clear). Since the tubes go behind you, they pull the belt down at the back end, which feels weird, even with the light resistance.

The light resistance tubes felt too easy to use even for an amateur like myself, but I imagine the heavy resistance tubes pulling on the back of the belt would be very uncomfortable. Not for me. I’ll be returning this product.

Got these for my girls and they love it! One month in and there already see difference in there vertical!

Awseome product best price with good offers. Worth it

These plyo boxes are very sturdy. They are a great price for a good quality product. Assembling all three boxes probably took 30 minutes. They store together easily. They are heavy duty and not flimsy.

I love that they came with small pads for the bottom so your floors wont get scratched.

The package came quickly. The color is exactly the bright and attractive red seen in the photos. The quality of the boxes are professional level and could be found in any big gym. I am very pleased with my purchase and do no regret it.

So hurry and get yours. HW.

I love this Plyo box. Now that we’re not going to the gym anymore I wanted to recreate some of my favorite workouts at home. This is a great piece of equipment to use for box steps and box jumps. It’s extremely stable and I feel very safe on it.

Another great thing is that it’s easy to assemble – took about 20 minutes.

These definitely are the hardest bands I’ve used, literally and figuratively. Once you get to the heavier weights 70+ the bands start to kinda pinch/dent the skin. It’s super uncomfortable for certain exercises like donkey kicks.

If you work out in sweats it seems to help a lot. I wish they had a wider band so it could protect your legs from the bands hitting them. Overall great purchase nothing out there has been comparable in resistance.

My name is Efrem Bunguric. I am an Australian Physiotherapy Association Titled Sports Physiotherapist in Sydney. I see a lot of lower limb injuries from a variety of sports. Injuries such as recurring ankle sprains, achilles tendinopathies, ACL injuries, femoro-acetabular impingement injuries, recurring hamstring and chronic adductor related groin injuries.

A common denominator in all of the above injuries is poor posture control and weak inner core unit. The K-Bands have provided me with multiple applications for enhancing g-max and g-med activation in static, dynamic and sports specific exercises.

The increased proprioceptive input that the K-Band provides as well as increased neural input for muscle facilitation has been extremely effective for lumbo-pelvic / hip control and subsequent improved posture control.

Improved kinetic chain activation coupled with isolation exercises for the major lower limb joints is made easy with K-Bands. I have no hesitation in recommending this product for sports specific injury rehabilitation, injury prevention, prehabilitation and general strength and conditioning.

Bought this product for my 11 year old boy. He runs hills and this should be an excellent compliment to that workout. He’s only used them once so far and he felt it in a good sort of way. It’s not a cure all for his training.

It’s a very good addition imo. I plan on him training with the bands at least once a week from now into October and evaluate from there. I expect them to be an important part of the overall regimen.

I think they will really help him. Thanks.

So I don’t normally review products, but I had to on this one. One, I’m hoping I can find someone who had the same problem as me and hopefully you’ll be able to tell me how you fixed it. And two set up was just weird.

So the power tower comes in the mail and I don’t know which company was responsible for shipping but they did a terrible job. The box was falling apart, looked like it had actually been ripped to shreds, barely held together by some scraps of cardboard and screws, nuts and bolts are falling out of the side of this thing.

Ok whatever, not a big deal at least the product got to me in one piece but still kinda weird. I go to set it up and the instructions are pretty much useless. That’s ok too though, I like puzzles and figuring things out for myself so I pretty much have to figure out how to put this thing together by trial and error.

Again not a big deal but would have been nice to have some clearer instructions and probably would have saved me a bunch of time. I get to the point where the structure is all set up and I’m trying to put the final screws in when I realize hey hang on a sec.

it’s missing screw holes on the right side of the main frame. Yep. Not missing screws. Missing screw holes. Which is really weird since the exact same identical piece on the left side of the frame has the holes right where they’re supposed to be.

Not one to be deterred by minor setbacks, I go about busting out my power drill and begin trying to drill a hole into this metal frame which will hopefully end up being the right size. Took me a while of tinkering around with different drill sizes and different angles but I finally manage to drill 2 holes into the main frame and reassemble the whole main frame.

Ok perfect, it’s finally starting to come together and now I can actually put the screws (the holes might have been missing, but the screws that were supposed to go there DID come with the product) in their place since they now.

I can get a nice pump from this power tower. Just make sure the nuts and bolts are snug. I used an impact wrench to tight everything down and it hasn’t moved or shifted. Some reviews complain about it being too short, you have to remember this is for home use and the standard ceiling height is 8ft inside of a house so the company has to accommodate.

Some days I won’t even touch my free weights or use my bench and rack, and just work the power tower. It’s a must have for a home gym.

I am 57 years old, obese with chronic health conditions. I purchased this piece to mainly strengthen muscles that were not used due to osteoarthritis pain, not to mention being quarantined upon the couch watching TV and eating Little Debbie snacks for over a year.

I wanted gain my mobility back and I knew I had to start slow, strengthening my muscles. I can’t do much walking but this helps build energy so I can do more a little bit at a time. This piece replaces 5-pieces of gym equipment and does not require a lot room.

The weight limit is 350 but I can tell you I’m well over that and thus far, no problems. It’s sturdy and the quality is good. It took a minute for me to be able to get on/off but since using this, my leg muscles have strengthened and is now easier to lift leg to get on/off the machine.

I was able to purchase this for $499 before the price hike to $700; and I paid $89 for assembly. This was a good investment for my health. I’ll probably upgrade and sell this one once I gain my strength and mobility back.

So, I’m a 50+ female who is ‘starting all over again’ with fitness. I wanted something multifunctional that would work all the muscle groups. This fit the bill. It was fairly easy to assemble with 2 people, although when I took out the seat it had a tear in it that was not apparent from the packaging – somewhat disappointing.

Aside from that, all parts were there, and in good condition. However, the instruction book was not very helpful with getting started. I went online and found some great YouTube videos that really helped.

Would recommend this item. Be aware that the PR1000 does not support upgrading the power rods. That’s fine for me, but you might want to choose another model if you anticipate wanting more weight. Overall I’m very happy with the purchase.

This little home gym has been perfect. I’ve had it for a week and experimenting. It allowed me to cancel my gym membership at planet fitness, because this does the same thing I was doing there. Very happy with my purchase highly recommend.

Easy to put together. I even did it by myself. It goes up to 150 pounds which is more than enough for my use.

The machine arrived in a clean, undamaged box. I opened it, spread out all the pieces and took inventory. Every piece was there. I have assembled a few machines over the years and this was the easiest.

It may look confusing at first, but that’s just because each picture shows every washer, nut, bolt and so on. Assemble one step at a time and in short order, about 4 hours, it will all be done. The small parts are all mounted on cardboard under clear plastic and labeled by which step they are to be used.

The step labeling was a little off, but all the small parts were right there. Upon completion, I saw that one of the cables was wrong size. I called the service number and after sending pictures to show my assembly, they said it was correct and would sent new cable.

They did; by priority mail. Quick fix by substitution. Measure cables before assembly, length of each is on parts inventory. Be nice to customer service, they didn’t manufacture any parts, but will definitely get you what you need.

The 150lbs stack gives you 200 on the bench press, this should be on the ad site. Great machine, great service, well worth the price.

The assembly was a bit confusing as some parts orientation did not match what they drew, but ultimately everything went together fine and seems very well built. Obviously with any multi-use gym there are trade offs when trying to cover so many exercises in one unit but in general this does a good job of providing a good work out to each muscle group without being too much change over etc.

Overall this is a great machine for those looking to get a work out when so many gyms have closed due to Covid.

Good quality, awesome features and extras for the price. Even-weighted cable and lightweight, comfortable grips make for great exercise conditions. Jumping rope can burn up to 1000 calories an hour so this is a great way to get some cardio if you need it.

This is so much better than any gaffer tape I have ever used! Really impressive stuff,even for permanent outdoor repairs!

Got back to me super fast for the offer I made. I have seen a friend with one of these and they are super duty. I can’t wait to get mine . Right on!!e

I did a lot of research for a good tower and this one works very well; sturdy and well-built, doesn’t tip and feels secure. I am 6’1″/170 lbs. The problem is the instructions as of 12/24/21 are incorrect and you won’t figure that out until the very end and will have to switch the two main upright pieces to make the pull-up bar fit properly.

In the instructions the diagram is very clear, but the two main uprights are reversed. This can be deduced logically because when you have your back to the backrest, the main upright piece cant out slightly to the left and right.

This means that the holes for the pull-up bar must be deeper on the inside and shallower on the outside in order to attach the bar correctly. Therefore if you assemble according to the instructions, the pull-up bar will not fit correctly and you will have to switch the main upright pieces.

This is a pain; you’re thinking that you’re getting to the end of the assembly and then surprise, you got another forty minutes to switch the uprights. I put this together alone, but the parts are heavy and awkward, so maybe some help would be good.

I cannot say whether all the instructions are incorrect or main uprights are mislabeled, but mine were and others have also pointed this out. Some have damaged the pull-up bar trying to make it fit. Flip the uprights and it fits perfectly.

I wanted this type of free standing gym equipment instead of a wall mounted pull up bar in my home gym during the pandemic. The tower also includes the option to purchase equipment protection but I did not choose this coverage so I can attest to the service.

The packaging and protection for the contents are also worth noting in addition to the assembly and function of this power tower. When this large box was delivered the top 24 inches of the box was damaged and torn.

The round bars or tower sections had no signs of dents, bends, or scratches. The hardware components come sealed in thick plastic on a flat piece of cardstock. Each type of fastener is organized and grouped together with both part number and thread/size that makes assembly quick without having to spend time sorting pieces.

Each of the non-round tower components are solid steel that are 2 x 4 inches with thickness that prevents bending. This tower can built by one person but having another person to help with holding joining pieces or building sections concurrently is recommended.

The stylish blue and black foam padding sections have a carbon fiber pattern with a firm 2 inches. This tower needs to be placed on a flat surface for best performance and least amount of wobbling or rocking.

I had added using this tower for several different exercises in my home circuit. The wide base and height enen allow for me to use assistance resistance bands for certain dips and pull up exercises. I was given this product for a reduced price in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

Good plyo box. There is a requirement written on packaging that is requires a drill, but there were no instructions anywhere how to use said drill. The screws included are so weak their heads pop off during assembly.

I would strongly suggest getting stronger ones before attempting to put the box together.

TranslateShow in original languageIch habe die Box als „Second Use“ gekauft und bin absoluter Anfänger, finde also, dass die Qualität zum Preis passt. Klar wäre es schöner gewesen, wenn die Schrauben ordentlich versenkt werden könnten und die ein oder andere Kante etwas glatter wäre, finde es aber insgesamt ok.

Das Thema mit den Schrauben…also wenn man Pech hat und das Holz an einer Schraubstelle sehr hart ist, dann bricht die Schraube, hat man Glück, dann gehen sie rein wie Butter.

I was told by my physio to start skipping to help with my weak calves. Having looked on amazon I felt totally overwhelmed with choice. Wanting to avoid buying from amazon and having no knowledge of what was best for a beginner like me I decided to look online and see what was out there.

Almost straight away I came across Dope Ropes. Through their guides and online tutorials I quickly learnt all I needed and knew which cord would be best for me. The prices weren’t extortionate and the quality seems good.

The handles are nice to hold, seem like a good shape made from quality plastic. The weight is good, the cord rotates smoothly when in use so no tangles twisted cords, once you get the hang of it it’s a breeze to use.

I’ve been skipping for a month now on tarmac and the pvc cord is still in great shape too! Replacement cords are also cheap and easily available. Would highly recommend.

New to the jump rope world and excited to give this one a try! My rope arrived today, early and ahead of schedule. (I’m in the US and shipping has been so fast for both of my orders!) I can already tell that the weight and structure of the rope is going to make this one of my favorite ropes yet! I’m tall and love that this rope is long and fully adjustable.

It feels durable, well constructed, and the bright color is a huge bonus! I’ve loved following along with Dope Rope’s IG stories and posts to learn and get inspired at the start of my journey! Excited to give double unders a try with this rope tonight!.

These are the best quality PVC ropes I can find, I’ve bought so many PVC jump ropes now through online outlets where they might be cheaper but they don’t give a good jump rope experience. These ropes you can fold up and they don’t kink.

A lot of ropes you buy, you unwrap them you can’t get rid of the kinks, or the weight of the rope is wrong it’s too light, or they feel too hard, or they wear out quickly. These are the Dope rope cord, they feel soft but they don’t wear out so much, they have the perfect weight so you can feel the rope when rotating because a lot of others feel too light so that it is more difficult to manoeuvre the rope around when switching from side swings to cross overs for example, this rope it doesn’t have this problem so better for rope tricks to vary your workout.

I actually use the original jump rope with the handles usually on my practice days (my workout rest days), but I also use this rope with other handles I’ve bought for workouts only purely because the feel of the rope is good.

The other positive is you can buy the replacement Dope rope cord only here if required.
