Plyometrics’  Latin origin means “measurable increases”. Plyometrics, a series of  hops, skips, jumps, foot movements and other exercises designed to  strengthen specific muscles, increase balance, and flexibility,  originated in Europe (Russia). 

“I  have personally trained over 15,000 athletes the past five years and I  guarantee you as a parent nothing your son or daughter ever does as an  athlete will improve their foot speed, quickness, explosiveness and  vertical jump like plyometrics.”

 Ages  8-40+. Plyometrics under trained instructors is suitable for athletics  beginning at age 8. Since PlyoCity’s training program uses the athlete’s  own body weight, the impact and stress on the athlete is lower than  training programs using weights and other equipment.  Low impact  workouts are especially important for younger athletes. For older  athletes, low impact workouts make long term training possible.

Each  athlete should use common sense and if there are any health issues or  concerns, coordinate with his or her doctor before participating any  physically demanding activity, including sports and plyometric  training. 

A professional plyometrics program should become a year round training support system.

Off  season 2 -3 times per week. Pre-season 2 times per week. In season 1  time per week. Please note all athletes need 48 hours rest in between  each PlyoCity workout.

PlyoCity  strives to keep our program affordable for everyone.  Team training  costs vary depending on the number of athletes training per session.   Individuals may train with other teams or as a part of a program like  open gym.  Typically team rates range from $4 to $6 per session,  or $35 to $50 per month, per athlete. PlyoCity is most popular for their  MOBILE training (We come to you).

Typical  Acceleration Programs: Minimum Commitment: $400.00 for six week program  at two-three sessions per week. Averages over $30 per session. 

PlyoCity rates are far lower than area acceleration programs!

Yes,  we are proud to say we currently train adults who are in their 30’s,  40’s, and 50’s.  Many adults train with PlyoCity to improve their own  performance for sports like tennis, snow skiing and racquetball and to  improve conditioning and flexibility. Not only do they like the  intensity of the program, parents enjoy training with their children. 

Wear  comfortable athletic shorts, T-Shirts and Sport Shoes (Basketball,  Volleyball, cross trainers etc.) and don’t forget to bring a water  bottle. 

Yes.  The program is designed with multiple levels. Each athlete will begin  at a level designed for their particular level of athleticism at the  beginning. As they grow stronger and comfortable with the program, they  will move up in intensity approximately every 2-4 weeks.
