VertiMax designs, manufactures and sells innovative athletic training systems to markets worldwide. The patented technology by which VertiMax products are based can help improve critical athletic performance parameters including explosive power, speed, and the vertical jump. These performance parameters are highly desire

d by all athletes because they are important to athletic success in any sport. With VertiMax, athletes can quickly improve overall athleticism and become more competitive at any level of competition while Core and Functional training abilities provide benefits to all people of all ages. VertiMax training systems are currently being used by elite, professional athletes and middle-schoolers trying to make the team or move into starting lineup. From the services side, we have health clubs, physical therapists and professional sports trainers taking advantage of the many benefits VertiMax offers club members, patients and athletes respectively. Remarkably, our fastest growing customer base is parents buying VertiMax for their 12-14-year-old child to train at home. Regardless of athletic level, VertiMax is THE choice for Sports Performance Training. VERTIMAX V8 & V8 EX
The VertiMax V Series platform models can offer elite performance gains for home or team use targeting the vertical jump, acceleration, top-end speed and sport-specific movement. Up to 5 athletes can train on a V Series unit at the same time. RAPTOR & RAPTOR EX
The VertiMax Raptor is our newest release, allowing athletes to train on-the-go. The lightweight Raptor provides a mobile solution for teams and individuals by quickly strapping to walls and fences allowing athletes to train with resistance out to distances of 45 yards.

I really like using isometrics for a number of reasons in an athlete’s program. Whether it be low load recovery days, building joint stiffness, or teaching positional awareness, ISO’s are a great training tool. You can create a lot of tension without needing a ton of movement or volume.

The VertiMax gives you another way to add resistance and challenge these positions from different angles.

Simple movements, lots of ways to make them useful.

Want to sprint faster?
Sprinting requires maximum force production in minimal ground contact time. By overloading pogo jumps, you’re training the lower leg to act like a spring, directly improving the elastic energy needed to explode out of your stride.

Want to help your athlete develop more explosiveness?

It’s not always about jumping higher or training harder. Low-amplitude plyometrics use small, rapid movements to train elastic power, reactive stiffness, ground contact efficiency, and rapid force production.

From quick pogo hops to lateral contacts, these movements can be an important part of training for athletes looking to improve their explosiveness and movement efficiency.

Explosiveness starts with how you land. ⚡️

Better landing mechanics lead to stronger force absorption and more efficient power output — setting the foundation for higher jumps and faster movement.

Want a faster swing? ⚾️ Work on speed and power through better movement and force production.

Train the patterns, not just the outcome with these drills:
1. Shuffle step to Banded Rotation. The athlete performs a controlled lateral shuffle and transitions immediately into an explosive rotational pull to develop lateral quickness and transverse plane power.
2. Split Stance Trap Bar Deadlift. The athlete is driving through his front leg while maintaining hip and trunk stability to build unilateral strength and force production.
3. Broad Jump. The athlete is loading through the hips and explosively jumps forward, emphasizing triple extension and controlled landing mechanics to improve horizontal power.
4. SL Glute Bridge. The athlete is driving through his heels to extend the hips while maintaining pelvic stability and glute activation.

The first three steps in acceleration are all about gaining distance and horizontal projection.
Using the Raptor adds horizontal resistance forcing you to actively put force into the ground and maintain a strong position.

A-March - Builds posture and primes coordination at low speed. This is where you establish positions like hips tall, foot strike under the body, opposite arm opposite leg.

A-Skip - Adds elasticity and timing with a bit more speed than the previous.

Linear Skip - Progresses into more horizontal displacement. We start feeling more force application and rapid exchange rates more similar to that during acceleration

High Knee Run - Brings it all together at speed. High force application, clean mechanics, and consistent front-side positioning under higher demand.

Speed isn’t just about acceleration.

Elite athletes separate themselves with how well they decelerate.
When an athlete cuts, stops, or changes direction, the body has to absorb 3–6x bodyweight in force in a fraction of a second. If they can’t control that force, energy leaks, speed drops, and injury risk goes up.

Today’s session focused on building real braking capacity:
Partner Perturbations ➡️ Trunk Stability Under Unpredictable Force
VertiMax Assisted Pogo Drop Catches ➡️ Elastic Stiffness and Rapid Force Absorption
Reactive Stops ➡️ Braking Mechanics At Full Speed
Competitive Change of Direction Drills ➡️ Applying Deceleration Under Pressure

Strong Decelerators Develop:
⚡️ BETTER FORCE ABSORPTION
⚡ FASTER RE-ACCELERATION
⚡ MORE EFFICIENT CHANGE OF DIRECTION
⚡ LOWER ACL AND KNEE INJURY RISK
The fastest athletes in sport aren’t just great at going… they’re elite at stopping!

Football season is coming. Are your athletes ready to stand out from the crowd? 🏈🔥

The difference between making the play and getting beat often comes down to the first step.

These 4 explosive drills help football athletes build the speed, power, and reaction needed to perform at their best:
⚡ First-step acceleration
💪 Lower-body power
🔥 Change of direction
🏃 Explosive speed

Whether you're training with a VertiMax or using bodyweight movements, the goal stays the same: building explosive power facilitates speed, agility and the opportunity to play at the next level.
