The ELEVATE Jump™ builds explosive power and develops lower body muscle mass with two primary movements, the squat and the squat jump. Uniquely designed to facilitate plyometric jumping exercises leveraging both linear bodyweight resistance and variable band resistance, this jump exercise machine produces both concentric and eccentric loading of the muscles – allowing users to accelerate and decelerate quickly during a squat jump in a safe, controlled manner.
Able to accommodate all levels of fitness, the ELEVATE Jump™ supports the spine during traditional squat exercises so that users can comfortably control the descending and ascending phases of a squat or jump, while providing an opportunity for advanced variations including, single-leg squats and staggered stance squats.

Benefits
Benefits for the individual exerciser:
- Designed for intuitive use and success in performing squats and squat jump exercises
- Increases explosive power and joint flexibility
- Increases vertical jump
- Provides both concentric and eccentric muscle contractions
- Strengthens all the muscles of the lower body
- Allows for plyometric, jumping movements which provide a cardio workout
- Ability to perform multiple squat variations
- Enhanced functional performance of daily activities and increased athleticism
- Exercises can be progressed or regressed to accommodate all fitness levels

The ELEVATE Jump™ is simple and easy to use and accommodates all fitness levels. Its versatility lends itself to be either a self-serve unit on the gym floor or part of a small group training circuit. The ELEVATE Jump™ supports the spine during a traditional squat exercise so that users can comfortably control the phases of the exercise. Additionally, it improves muscular strength, increases muscular endurance, and stimulates the neuro-muscular system for everyday activities or for enhanced athletic performance. With plyometric squats the explosive power is increased, as is joint flexibility.
How much room does the ELEVATE Jump™ take up?
You will need an area of 22 square feet to accommodate the Jump Trainer.
What is the user weight capacity?
The ELEVATE Jump™ will accommodate a maximum user weight of 400 lbs.
Can my gym members use the ELEVATE Jump™ on their own?
Yes. The ELEVATE Jump™ features a detailed placard explaining the exercises and how to use the equipment, making the units extremely approachable.
How many exercises can you do on the machine?
Over 20 exercises are here https://totalgym.com/blogs/elevate-circuit/tagged/jump and users can make up their own ELEVATE Jump variations.
