Choosing from this range

A jumpboard replaces the footbar with a flat padded surface, letting you jump horizontally against spring resistance. Because you are lying down, landing forces are a fraction of standing plyometrics — which is why jumpboards appear in rehabilitation programs where standing impact would be contraindicated.

Two things decide whether a jumpboard is right for you: whether it fits your exact reformer model, and whether the room has about 8 ft of ceiling clearance.

What to check before buying a jumpboard

  • Mounting compatibility with your exact reformer model
  • Ceiling clearance of about 8 ft, more if you are tall
  • Surface area wide enough for a wide-stance two-foot jump
  • How the footbar interacts — removed first, or drops below
  • Padded, grippy surface that is not sticky underfoot

Padded Jumpboards — frequently asked questions

  • Will any jumpboard fit my reformer?
    No — mounting is model-specific and boards rarely transfer between machines. Check compatibility with your exact model before ordering.
  • What springs should I use for jumpboard work?
    Around three to start. Heavier springs return the carriage faster and shorten contact time; lighter springs slow the rebound and increase the control demand.
  • Is jumpboard work safe for bad knees?
    Usually far safer than standing plyometrics, because landing forces are much lower. Check with a clinician if the knee is currently symptomatic.
