Explosive Starts. Lightning Recovery.
Game-Changing Power.

VertiMax develops the first-step speed, deceleration, and rotational strength that define elite hockey performance.

Next-Level Targeted Resistance to Dominate

Hockey demands one thing above all: explosive movement in every direction—often from a dead stop. VertiMax training systems are engineered to develop the very qualities that define elite performance on the ice: powerful first steps, rapid changes of direction, high-velocity deceleration, and rotational strength for powerful shots and checks.

Using patented technology, the Raptor and V-Series systems apply smooth, non-spiking resistance over long distances, allowing players to train explosive starts, agile recovery steps, and rotational force output without compromising form, rhythm, or balance.

SIMULATE

Real Hockey Movement Under Resistance

Athletes can simulate on-ice movements like lateral pushes, crossovers, stick-handling, and shooting while subjecting every movement to an innovative resistance that optimally develops power.

And because they can load from the waist, hips, legs, or arms, every drill can target the real mechanics that win puck battles and shift momentum.

TRUSTED BY TEAMS WHO PLAY TO WIN

When top hockey coaches and athletes invest in VertiMax, it’s because it produces real results—measurable gains in vertical, quickness, and reaction time that change the outcome of a match.

"In hockey you must be explosive, fast, powerful, and strong. The best pieces of equipment to develop these traits are the VertiMax V8 and Raptor."

HOW IT WORKS

ELITE FIRST-STEP AND ACCELERATION TRAINING

Generate more force to separate and close on the opposition. With a unique resistance that doesn’t spike, VertiMax enables higher resisted training speeds that stimulate the neuromuscular system to maximize speed strength—so you win the first step and break past defenders.

Explosive Change of Direction & Recovery Speed

Quick stops. Hard cuts. Rebounds. VertiMax technology maximally taps every athlete’s full athletic potential to deliver elite, high-speed deceleration and lateral drive performance needed to control possession and recover in tight windows.
 

Rotational Power for Shooting & Contact

Load and unleash force through the core, hips, and shoulders to develop explosive torque. That means increased shot velocity, faster releases, and more powerful checks—all improved with the ability to load hockey-specific movement mechanics.

 

Customized Full-Body Resistance Loading

Attach bands to up to 8 anchor points across the body—ankles, thighs, waist, arms—to precisely load skating mechanics, recovery movement, or stickhandling form with unmatched control and freedom of movement.
 
READY TO ELEVATE YOUR HOCKEY TRAINING BY GAINING EXPLOSIVE POWER 6X FASTER?

A respected university study found that VertiMax helped elite athletes increase explosive power    6x more than conventional training. If you’re serious about stronger edge work and slapshot power, you’ll want to see the results.
