From Genetic Potential
800-633-5867

Looking to maximize explosive leg power potential? The Vertimax, from Genetic Potential in Melbourne Beach, Fla., has constant exercise resistance with 60 feet of resistance bands routed beneath the Vertimax, fully retracting into the platform surface to maintain constant exercise loading through the full range of the jumping motion. The patented hip-tracking feature allows athletes to maintain better balance and form when jumping because resistance bands can move laterally with the athlete's hips to eliminate the dangerous slingshot effect. The Vertimax also offers an instant selection of exercise resistance with extractable resistance bands that allow resistance to be set from 20 to 120 lbs in 5 or 10 lb increments without adding or removing any parts. Vertimax utilizes two separate shock absorption systems to provide the softest and safest landings for athletes. A 12 square foot, ultrashock absorbing, ethafoam mat coupled with shock absorbers mounted on each support leg of Vertimax, provide a unique shock-dampening system.
