Jump Boxes

Plyo Jump Boxes for Home Gyms

A plyo box is a sturdy box you jump onto, step up onto or squat down to. It's one of the simplest ways to add explosive leg work to a home gym: box jumps, step-ups, depth drops, Bulgarian split squats and box squats all use the same piece of kit.

We sell two types, in the same four sizes: a wooden plyometric jump box and a soft foam plyometric jump box. Both can be bought as a single box or as a set of three or four.

One Box, Three Heights

Every box here is a 3-in-1 design. Its three dimensions are its three working heights, so you turn it onto a different side to change height.

New to box jumps? Start around 30–40cm and only go higher once every landing is quiet and controlled. Most people training regularly work at 50–60cm, which is why the M box is the usual single-box choice. The L box is for confident jumpers.

Wood or Soft Foam?

• Soft foam has padded edges, so a clipped shin or missed jump hurts far less. It's the better choice for beginners, high-rep conditioning sessions and anyone training alone.
• Wood gives a firm surface that doesn't flex, which suits weighted step-ups, split squats and box squats, and people who already jump with confidence.

Our guide What Is a Plyo Box? covers starting heights, exercises and safety in more detail.

FAQs

What height plyo box should a beginner buy?

Something you can land on softly in a half squat, usually 30–40cm to begin with. Because each box has three heights, the S or M box leaves room to progress without buying another.

Should I buy one box or a set?

One box is enough for most home training. A set is useful if more than one person trains, or if you want step-up and jump progressions without turning a box over between sets.

What should I put under a plyo box?

A flat, non-slip surface with clear space all round. EVA foam floor mats help stop the box sliding and protect the floor. Step down rather than jumping backwards off the box.
