Plyo Power: Helping Your Customers Find the Perfect Plyo Box

Plyo boxes are a versatile and dynamic piece of gym equipment, making them a must-have for fitness facilities and home gym enthusiasts alike. They are designed to enhance explosive power, agility and endurance. Making them ideal for athletes, functional training and general fitness. Understanding the different types of plyo boxes will help your retail staff confidently guide customers toward the best option for their needs.

Types of Plyo Boxes:

3-in-1 Plyo Box	One of the most popular options, the 3-in-1 plyo box features a rectangular design that allows users to rotate the box for different jump heights. This makes it a great choice for gyms with multiple users of varying skill levels. Typically constructed with a sturdy wood interior, foam outer layer and a vinyl non-slip covering, these boxes provide both safety and durability. They are suitable for beginners and experienced athletes alike.
Wooden Plyo Box	Wooden plyo boxes are highly durable but less forgiving on the shins in case of a misstep. They are a more traditional option preferred by some advanced users but are less common due to the risk of injury. If stocking these, ensure they feature an internal support structure for added stability... but beware of 'shinjuries".
Plyo Box Set	This option consists of three separate boxes (typically 30cm, 45cm, and 65cm in height) that can be used individually or stacked together. They usually have a wooden core with a foam outer layer and a vinyl covering. Thanks to Velcro fastening straps, they can be separated for multiple users, making them ideal for group training environments.
Stackable Jump Training Boxes	These sets usually include four to six boxes with an open frame design, allowing them to be stacked for storage. They are heavy-duty and built for stability, often used by professional athletes for advanced training.

Key Considerations For Retailers:

Size & Weight

Plyo boxes vary in size and weight, with rectangular models being heavier than cube-style boxes. If your customers need a box that is frequently moved, portability should be a factor in their decision-making process.

Construction Material

Most plyo boxes are constructed from a mix of wood, foam, steel and vinyl. If stocking foam plyo boxes, ensure they are high-density to prevent sagging. Stackable steel-frame models are stable but come with a higher risk of injury. A wood and foam combination with a non-slip vinyl covering offers a balance of durability and safety.

Portability

Heavier boxes can be challenging to move, so consider customer needs. Many wooden plyo boxes include handholds to make transportation easier. Again, wooden boxes come with a high risk of shinjury.

Jump Surface

Anti-slip surfaces are crucial for safety. Ensure that the plyo boxes you stock, like the Xpeed Plyo Box, have a tough, durable, and non-slip surface to minimise the risk of injury.

Purpose

Understanding the end user's needs will help in recommending the right plyo box. For general fitness, the 3-in-1 box is a reliable all-rounder. For high-volume gym use, opt for a durable model such as the 3-in-1 and the stackable set, that can withstand repeated impact.

Selling Tips for Retailers

• Know your customers: Are they home users, gym owners or sports teams? Tailor recommendations accordingly.

• Highlight safety: Customers may be wary of injuries, promote soft plyo boxes or foam-covered options.

• Promote versatility: Plyo boxes aren’t just for jumping; they can be used for step-ups, push-ups,and more.

• Stock a variety: Offering different types ensures customers find the right fit for their training needs.

By understanding the key features of plyo boxes, your retail staff can confidently assist customers in selecting the best option. Investing in the right mix of products will help maximise sales and ensure customer satisfaction.
