Multiplyo™ Plyometric Exercise Box

Here it is. This is the Escape Fitness Multiplyo™. Now, basically, it’s a box. So what could possibly be so clever about that? Here’s what is so clever. Firstly, this box is designed to be identical to the heights used in the CrossFit Games. So if you are new to plyoboxes this is a fantastic place to start. And if you are an experienced user – wow, it’s going to be fantastic for your training toward your goals.

Super simple, you just flip the box to create three different configurations. Now, as you can see, everything is color-coded, everything is very clearly marked. But why should we get so excited about something which is basically a box? Well, the reality is that clever stuff is all going on inside. What tends to happen with boxes that are just designed out of foam is that on day one, they’re perfectly okay. But progressively you get fade, the product starts to have dents, dips, it pools out in the middle as the outer foam basically softens and deteriorates.

So here, at Escape Fitness, we have worked extremely hard to work on our sandwich. In the center, there is a heavy dense foam, and that basically means that if I fail or get it wrong, the product stays where I need it to be, even though its got a relatively small footprint. On top of that there are additional layers of foam that enable the product to be sturdy – but, if all goes wrong – soft on the outside. So inside there is a huge amount of technology and design that quite frankly most users are never ever going to think about. But on the outside, it is extremely visual but very, very practical.

We have two basic components of the outside surface. Everything here is our BTEX fabric. Now, BTEX is a product that we have been using at Escape for over eight years on all of our boxing bags. It’s clearly a product that is designed to take an absolute pounding, day in – day out. In addition to that, the grey surface is a super grip surface. It’s the same material that we would use underneath mats that need to avoid slipping and sliding on a shiny surface maybe like a studio floor. But, then what we do, because we work with very, very specific factories in Europe, we’re able to create this bond where those two materials are actually welded together so you don’t end up with a seam where there is the ability of moisture and for things to peel away, you end up with a welded surface where there is effectively no join visible between the two surfaces of the two separate materials.

So basically – huge amount of technology on the inside, massive amount of thought and technology gone into the outside as well!
