Take Your Baseball Performance To The Next Level With VertiMax

Introduction Video

What VertiMax will do for a baseball player and team in as little as 5 weeks:

  • Improve explosive leg power 6 times more effectively than plyometrics.

  • Increase average team speed in the 40 by 1/10th + seconds.  Your players will be more successful stealing bases and getting to those hard hit ground and fly balls!

  • Improved leg power and hip rotation speed will increase hitting distance and throwing speed.

"Posting the nation's top score of 74.38 doesn't come without some great individual performances. Junior Ernest Celestie, a football player turned baseball rbase running extraordinaire, led the Buccs with an elite 79.9 SPARQ rating. Celestie took top honors in the shuttle with a time of 4.15 seconds and the 30 Yard Dash with a mind-blowing time of 3.64 seconds. When asked how he got so fast, Celestie smiled and mentioned "I do resistance pulls, a lot of block work and train on VertiMax. On an average I train maybe 3 hours a day."

Barbe High School (LA), High School Baseball - As seen in Sparq Training, Spring 2008

"I coached Tyler Rahmatulla, a shortstop on the Mater Dei High School Baseball Team, who led the 16 & under Junior Olympic team in home runs.  He participated in our six-week VertiMax training program.  In the beginning we were only trying to lower his 60 yard dash time and increase his lateral movement, and that DID happen.  But we noticed another significant improvement!  Tyler pitches on the team, and he had increased his fast ball from approximately 85 to 90 mph!  VertiMax training, when done right and adhered to by a hard working athlete, produces all around outstanding results!   Thank you Vertimax!"

John Elliot, Elite Coach & Trainer

Four Reasons VertiMax Is the Best Choice to Maximize Athletic Abilities

1)  Optimal Explosive Power Development: VertiMax in just a few short weeks will dramatically improve the RATE at which an athlete can generate force or in other words their power producing capabilities.  Explosive athletic power NOT strength is what determines how high an athlete can jump and how fast they can accelerate and decelerate (first step quickness).  VertiMax’s patented Low Inertia resistance system allows athletes to train at high (sports specific) velocities with light loads using sports specific motions.  This unique training methodology allows the brain to target, recruit and fire muscle motor units exactly as they are recruited and fired in competition.  The net result is a highly efficient training adaptation that is more effective for developing speed and power performance on the field of play.  VertiMax provides performance results that you can’t get with traditional weight training and plyometrics.  Arizona State University’s clinical study published this year showed VertiMax was 6X more effective developing explosive leg power than traditional plyometrics. (See ASU Study)

2)   Multipoint Loading to Maximize the Vertical Jump and Other Sports Performance Test Parameters: VertiMax is the only training system capable of loading the athlete from one to eight locations simultaneously for optimal athletic development.  For instance, the arm swing when jumping is responsible for up to 20% of the vertical jump height.  VertiMax is the only training system that accounts for that fact and has the ability to simultaneously load the legs and arms for the best vertical jump development on the market.  VertiMax's ability for multipoint loading provides an important advantage developing the power and speed potential of all body parts involved in complex sports movements.  For speed training and first step quickness, athletes rarely load the hip flexors, abductors and adductors dynamically when training.  These muscles accelerate the leg when it breaks contact with the ground and represent half the speed equation!  Once again VertiMax is the only system capable of simultaneously loading both the driving and pulling muscles of the leg while speed training to provide optimal speed improvements in the 40 and shuttle runs you can’t get with any other training device. (See Speed Training)

3)   Many Of The Best Strength Coaches and Athletes In the World Are Sold On VertiMax:  With over 50% of the NFL, 37% of the NBA and 90% of all major Division I colleges using VertiMax in their athletic training programs, you can be assured that VertiMax delivers special performance enhancement results that are valued by the greatest coaches and athletes in the world. Even with our amazing customer base, parents with children in competitive sports are our number one customer taking advantage of this invaluable training device. (See Testimonials & VertiMax In the News).

4)  VertiMax Is Simple To Use And Results Come Quickly: Performing two simple exercises twice a week:

a.      The vertical jump – 4 to 6 sets, 4 to 6 repetitions per set

b.      Hip flexor training  - 5 to 6 sets, 4 to 6 repetitions per set

will quickly generate dramatic improvements in overall athletic abilities.  It only takes about 10 minutes to complete a workout and utilizing two additional belts will allow team training of up to 30 athletes in less than 50 minutes on a single unit.  There are also hundreds of other sports specific exercises that can be performed to provide additional athletic performance enhancements for specific sports.  No matter what sport, if you use your legs and arms, VertiMax is the best choice to quickly and maximally improve athletic performance and separate any athlete from the rest of the crowd.

TESTIMONIALS

 

THE PATENTED VERTIMAX® ADVANTAGE

"VertiMax opened up a new path in speed, agility. and hand eye coordination in the baseball players we train. We use it to teach muscle memory for all of our young stars that Matt Guliano trains. For our older clients in high school and college VertiMax is the pinnacle tool in gaining that extra split second a ball player needs in hitting. For defensive skills we use the hand attachments and have the client knock down balls thrown at them at different height and speeds. This allows each player to develop coordination and use all those small muscles that a player never thinks about.  Our tournament and college bound player’s use the leg attachments to gain an extra step in lateral movement, pivotal for gaining that first step.

RATE OF FORCE DEVELOPMENT EXPLAINED

Weight training builds Absolute Strength and is essential. You have to do it!

But THE KEY to sports field performance is not HOW MUCH force an athlete can generate, but HOW FAST the athlete can generate force - and that is called Rate of Force Development.

Research proves that Light Load/High Speed training is the best way to increase Rate of Force Development. VertiMax is the most effective Light Load/High Speed trainer ever designed!

 

•  It's designed differently, it's built differently and it functions differently.

•  It is a FUNCTIONAL Trainer!
Athletes do competitive sports-specific moves at sport-specific speeds! Results of VertiMax training will be seen on the field of play!

•  An unlimited number of resistances can be set. Each athlete will be able to set theirs in a matter of seconds. You can instantly tailor a precise loading for any body part or individual athlete or training objective.

•  UNLIKE all other "bungee-type" trainers, once set, Vertimax resistance remains at a constant level through the full range of movement.  This gives substantially improved neuro-muscular involvement and post-training response.

•  Patented Hip Tracking units allow the cords to follow you forward or backward on the platform surface.  It is the only trainer that maintains a true "center of the earth" gravity vector for upright training.

•  Numerous three and four step "Off-Platform" exercises can be done on the VertiMax

•  Three athletes can complete the 8-set routine IN LESS THAN 10 MINUTES! 20 athletes in a 55 minute period. Or better yet, do VertiMax BETWEEN sets of upper body weight training and it takes NO additional time!
