Picking a Plyo Box
Soft and wooden plyo boxes are the most common types available. However, stackable plyo boxes, commonly found in commercial gyms, are likely the ones members have come across most frequently. They have the added benefit of providing almost unlimited training potential, with a range of heights to choose from. This allows members to easily adjust the height as their skill level improves.
Plyo Box Exercises
The best plyo box exercises often start with box jumps, which are great for building explosive power and improving vertical jump height. They can also be used for incline or decline exercises for a total body workout including dips and push-ups for the arms, and step-ups and calf raises to build powerful legs.

If you want to take things to the next level, increase the intensity by performing exercises with sandbags, kettlebells or dumbbells.
Which Plyo Box to Choose?
We offer a range of plyo box types to suit every need and each has its reason for choosing it:
The Multi Sided Plyo Box has three heights to choose from featuring standard height dimensions of 20”, 24”, and 30”. It offers straightforward training progression and requires no assembly to increase the height of the box, making transitions during training smooth and quick. This plyo box is also a space-saving choice with a soft foam core that absorbs impacts and reduces injury risk.
Stackable plyo boxes are designed to be stacked on top of each other. The different layers allow for continuous progression in training, offering nearly limitless height options with 6”, 12”, 18", and 24” available. These plyo boxes are secured together with hook and loop fasteners to prevent them from shifting during workouts. The Origin Soft Plyo Boxes use a simple Velcro loop strap system to keep the boxes in place as they are stacked.
Wooden plyo boxes, like our multi-sided options, are a great investment for every gym. They provide a stable workout platform, can help reduce the risk of injury, and are an excellent choice for gyms looking to invest minimal amounts in a product that can withstand high usage.
