PowerMax

The PowerMax Stride Checker lays out along the running surface to give athletes and coaches a precise, repeatable reference for improving stride length and frequency. Segmented markings every 70" let athletes target consistent stride patterns and let coaches measure progress objectively over a full 30-meter (98-foot) run. It works on most surfaces and packs into the included storage bag between sessions.

Key features & specs:

• Improves stride length and frequency
• 30m / 98' long with segmented markings every 70"
• Usable on most surfaces
• Provides an objective reference for measuring progress
• Includes a storage bag

Coach's tip: Use the markings as targets for controlled stride drills, then track how an athlete's pattern changes over a training block. Anchor it on turf if it shifts, and roll it up into the bag to keep it flat and tangle-free for the next session. Because it works on most surfaces, you can run the same measured drills indoors in winter and outdoors in season.

The PowerMax Agility Dots are a simple, effective footwork tool built for hard surfaces like gym floors, where cones and taller markers can slide or topple. Lay them out in any pattern to create challenging quickness and coordination drills, and their bright, easy-to-see colors let athletes react to specific targets on command. A set of six covers a wide range of footwork and reaction work.

Key features & specs:

• Ideal for hard surfaces like gym floors
• Create custom patterns for challenging footwork
• Bright, easy-to-see colors for target-based drills
• Low profile that won't trip athletes
• Set of 6

Coach's tip: Assign colors to directions or movements so athletes train reaction speed along with footwork. Wipe the dots down to keep them grippy on polished floors, and store the set together so you always have a full set ready for practice. Because they lie flat and won't slide, they are also safe to use indoors during warm-ups and reaction games.

The PowerMax Acceleration Ladder is a specialized agility ladder that trains athletes to progressively increase stride length and frequency across the drive phase. Rather than fixed rungs, the spacing widens from 12" to 69", guiding athletes to lengthen their stride as they accelerate, exactly the pattern a sprinter needs coming out of the start. It rolls up into the included carry bag for easy transport.

Key features & specs:

• Trains progressive stride length and frequency
• Stride spacing increases from 12" to 69"
• Overall size: 37'6" x 20"
• Red rungs with black sides for high visibility
• Includes a carry bag

Coach's tip: Have athletes drive tall and hit each space cleanly rather than rushing, so the progression teaches proper acceleration rhythm. Lay it flat and stake it on turf if it shifts, and store it rolled in the bag to prevent tangling. Because the spacing is fixed, it doubles as a repeatable benchmark to check an athlete's acceleration pattern over time.

The PowerMax Dynamic Trainer keeps resistance centered around the hips or torso so athletes can train explosive, multi-directional movement without a fixed anchor getting in the way. The elastic tube stretches to cover a wide training range, letting athletes work acceleration, change of direction, and sport-specific bursts with a partner providing controlled resistance and release.

Key features & specs:

• Keeps resistance around the hips or torso
• 10' elastic tube covered with protective nylon webbing
• Stretches up to 30' for a wide training range
• Supports acceleration and change-of-direction work
• Durable build for repeated program use

Coach's tip: Keep tension controlled so athletes stay balanced through cuts and bursts, and let the tube recoil gradually rather than snapping back. Inspect the webbing and tube for wear before each session, and store it loosely coiled and out of direct sun to protect the elastic. Its wide stretch range makes it useful for everything from acceleration work to lateral and rotational sport drills.

The PowerMax Flyweight Speed Sled is the ideal tool for adding light, incremental resistance to sprint work without overloading an athlete's mechanics. Weighing less than 7 pounds, it delivers just enough drag to train the drive phase and turnover while keeping stride patterns clean, making it perfect for daily speed sessions across track and multi-sport programs. Everything you need to train is included in the box.

Key features & specs:

• Adds light, incremental sprint resistance
• Weighs less than 7 lbs for easy handling and storage
• Includes waist belt, nylon leads, and carabiners
• Keeps sprint mechanics clean under light load
• Ideal for daily speed development

Coach's tip: Use the Flyweight for high-quality, short sprint reps where maintaining form matters more than maximum drag. Clip and unclip the carabiners carefully to avoid bending them, and store the sled and leads dry to keep the hardware corrosion-free. Because it is so light, it also travels well for road meets and works on grass, turf, or track without fuss.

The PowerMax Push/Pull Sled is a rugged, versatile training sled built in the USA for speed, power, and conditioning work. An 11-gauge steel frame handles heavy loads, while a space-saving fold-flat design and replaceable runners make it practical for any facility and surface. Adjustable push posts and multiple push/pull options let one sled cover a wide range of drills, from driving sprints to loaded strength work.

Key features & specs:

• USA-made 11-gauge steel frame; less than 7" high when folded
• Replaceable/removable runners for different surfaces; quick-release pins
• Adjustable push posts (12-21"W x 32"H) with multiple push/pull options
• Empty sled weighs 45 lb (body 25 lb, center post 4 lb, push posts 8 lb each)
• Holds up to 360 lb; center post fits four 45 lb bumper or eight steel 45 lb plates
• Includes shoulder harness and leads

Coach's tip: Match the runners to your surface and start light to keep mechanics sharp before loading up. Fold it flat for storage, and wipe the frame and runners down and store dry to protect the steel from corrosion.

The PowerMax Sprint Start Sled adds towing resistance right out of the blocks, training the powerful, low drive phase that sets up a fast sprint. Its unique design clears virtually all starting blocks so athletes can explode into the sled without interference, and Olympic-style weight plates can be added to dial resistance up or down. Developed by Colorado State University sprint coach Tim Cawley, it targets the exact moment where races are often won or lost.

Key features & specs:

• Adds resistance to the start and acceleration out of the blocks
• Design clears virtually all starting blocks
• Accepts Olympic-style weight plates to increase resistance
• Developed by CSU sprint coach Tim Cawley
• Includes sled, 11' leads, and a 3" hook-and-loop belt adjustable to 42" waist

Coach's tip: Start with light resistance so athletes keep a strong, progressive drive angle rather than popping upright. Run short reps out of the blocks with full recovery, and store the sled and weights dry to protect the finish and hardware.

The PowerMax Dual Resistance Tether is a two-athlete resisted-running trainer that lets a pair work at once, either training against each other or sharing a coach-managed setup. Resisted sprinting builds the drive-phase strength and acceleration mechanics that translate directly to faster times, and the dual configuration keeps more athletes moving through a session, an efficient way to train speed in a team setting.

Key features & specs:

• Dual configuration for resisted running with two athletes
• Builds acceleration mechanics and drive-phase strength
• Keeps more athletes active per training block
• Durable construction for daily program use
• Ideal for sprinters and multi-sport speed development

Coach's tip: Keep resistance light enough that sprint mechanics stay clean, and run short, maximal reps with full recovery between them. Inspect the cords and closures before every session, and store the tether clean and dry so the fasteners keep their grip. Pairing athletes of similar ability keeps the resistance balanced and the reps productive for both.

The PowerMax Hip Flexor trainer helps athletes develop the hip flexor strength and flexibility that underpin sprint mechanics, jumping, and overall lower-body power. Strong, mobile hip flexors drive knee lift and stride length, making this a valuable tool for track and field athletes, football players, and multi-sport athletes who want a longer, more powerful stride. It integrates easily into warm-up and strength routines at the high school level.

Key features & specs:

• Develops hip flexor strength and flexibility
• Targets a key driver of sprint and jump mechanics
• Suited to track, football, and multi-sport athletes
• Integrates into warm-up and strength training routines
• Built for regular use in school athletic programs

Coach's tip: Work the hip flexors through a full, controlled range of motion in warm-ups rather than rushing reps. Introduce it gradually so athletes build strength without strain, and wipe it down and store it dry between sessions to keep it in top condition.

The PowerMax Resistance Tether improves speed through resisted running, loading the athlete's drive phase so they build the strength and mechanics that translate to a faster stride. A partner provides resistance through the 10-foot nylon cord and handle while the athlete sprints, and the whole system packs into the included carry bag for easy transport to the track or field.

Key features & specs:

• Resisted-running trainer to develop speed and power
• Harness attaches to a 10' nylon web cord with handle
• 3" wide hook-and-loop closure belt adjustable to a 42" waist
• Includes nylon cord and carry bag
• Ideal for sprint and multi-sport acceleration work

Coach's tip: Keep resistance light enough that mechanics stay clean, running short, high-effort reps with full recovery. Inspect the cord and belt closure before each session, and store the tether in its bag, clean and dry, so the fastener keeps its grip. Have the partner apply steady, even resistance rather than jerking the cord so the athlete can hold a clean drive angle.

The PowerMax Ankle-flex Straps hold an athlete's foot in a flexed (dorsiflexed) position to train the proper foot strike that drives efficient sprinting. By keeping the toes up and the ankle loaded, the straps reinforce a stiff, reactive ground contact that improves ground-strike efficiency and turnover, a subtle but important detail of sprint mechanics that coaches work on all season. Sold in pairs so both feet train together.

Key features & specs:

• Hold the athlete's foot in a flexed position
• Reinforce proper, reactive foot strike
• Improve ground-strike efficiency and turnover
• Simple to put on and use in drills
• Sold in pairs

Coach's tip: Introduce the straps during technical drills and marching work before applying them to faster running so athletes groove the position. Check the straps for wear regularly, and store them clean and dry to keep the material and fasteners in good shape. Cue athletes to keep the toe up and the ankle stiff on every contact so the position becomes automatic when they run at speed.

The PowerMax Bullet Belt Pop Belt is the foundational release in the Bullet Belt Series, a simple, rugged tool for training explosive, sport-specific movements. The athlete works against resistance and then "pops" free at the moment of release, transferring built-up force into an explosive burst, ideal for developing the first-step quickness and acceleration that pay off across track, football, and court sports.

Key features & specs:

• Basic "Pop" release design in the Bullet Belt Series
• Trains explosive, sport-specific skills
• Resisted-to-free release for contrast work
• Simple, durable construction for daily program use
• Works for sprinters and multi-sport athletes

Coach's tip: Cue athletes to drive hard and stay low through the release for the biggest carryover to their start. Keep reps short and explosive, check the release closure for wear before sessions, and store the belt clean and dry to protect the fastener. A short set of explosive reps a couple of times a week is plenty to see carryover to an athlete's start and first steps.

The PowerMax Bullet Belt Speed Pulley is a two-person over-speed trainer that helps an athlete run faster than they could on their own, teaching the nervous system and stride to operate at higher velocities. A partner tows the athlete through the pulley system, and a unique safety release lets go automatically if the towed athlete can't maintain pace, protecting them from being pulled off balance. It comes ready to train right out of the box.

Key features & specs:

• Two-person over-speed training system
• Unique safety release if the towed athlete can't keep pace
• Includes 30m of cord
• Includes a Bullet Belt universal web belt
• Trains higher stride frequency and turnover

Coach's tip: Introduce over-speed work only with athletes who already have sound mechanics, and keep reps short with full recovery. Inspect the cord and release mechanism before each use, and store the system coiled and dry to prevent tangling and wear.

The PowerMax Bullet Belt System builds explosive starting and acceleration mechanics through resisted running, then releases for a contrast sprint that carries that power into free running. A partner or anchor provides resistance as the athlete drives out, and the hook-and-loop closure lets the belt release cleanly so the athlete instantly transitions to unresisted top speed, a proven way to train the first, most important steps of a sprint.

Key features & specs:

• Resistance training to improve starting and acceleration mechanics
• Hook-and-loop closure for a fast, easy release
• Contrast workout: resisted drive into free running
• Adjustable belt fits a range of athletes
• Ideal for sprinters and multi-sport speed development

Coach's tip: Use short, maximal-effort reps of 10 to 20 meters and keep full recovery between them so every rep is high quality. Check the hook-and-loop closure for wear before sessions, and store the belt clean and dry so the fastener keeps its grip.
