Plyo PowerŪ is an Athletic based cardiovascular legs program that focuses on the precision of sports conditioning exercises. Its unique leveling system is what sets Plyo PowerŪ apart from all other programs and allows a person of any fitness level to find the athlete inside them!

This class involves levels and athletic progressions that even the most novice exerciser can start with, but at the same time it can challenge the most experienced fitness enthusiast or athlete to a great workout.

In 1996, Acea began teaching a plyometric-jumping course to high school athletes in preparation for their particular sports season. This class instantly became a success, as participants were drawn to the high intensity and creativity of this new group exercise class. After only a couple of months, this athletic based activity began to draw not only high school students, but also other fitness enthusiasts who wanted a great workout.

After three or so months, most students were back in school, but this plyometric jumping workout continued with the majority of the participants being men and women 20-40 years old. But the numbers started to drop, so Acea approached a few women who had been dedicated participants since day one. Simply stated they had noticed that their legs were growing and they weren't able to fit into their pants comfortably. The same reasoning was received from 4-5 other participants who he approached. This was obviously a problem, Acea himself enjoyed teaching this class and participants stated that they were having a great time and actually started to enjoy exercising again because it was fun! But if the class was going to continue the numbers had to increase.

As the months went on, Acea began to change the design of the class. There was less explosion-jumping movements, more agilities were added following the jumping movements and he reduced the amount of rest in between each exercise. The theory behind this method was that if you don't allow the muscles adequate rest and recovery, they aren't able to grow and bulk as much...just shape and develop. It took some convincing, but Acea was able to talk some of his original devoted exercisers back into class and Plyo PowerŪ was born. Now, over the last decade Acea has shaped Plyo PowerŪ into one of the best athletic, cardiovascular, leg workouts. Although he has been using the name Plyo PowerŪ since 1998 it wasn't until August of 2002 that he felt that Plyo PowerŪ was ready to be trademarked.

In 2005 Acea took some time off from teaching to work on the structure and development of Plyo PowerŪ to see if he could continue to improve it. Although Plyo PowerŪ has developed into a great workout throughout the years, it was still a little too intense for some exercisers. So, back to the drawing board Acea went and created a new beginner-, intermediate- and advanced-level system. With the addition of specific combinations of body weight and simple stepping exercises for beginners to lower the intensity exercisers now can progress at their own pace. Plyo PowerŪ can work with beginners and still challenge the advanced with a 1 to 6 leveling system.

Now in 2010, Plyo PowerŪ has improved and redefined itself into what is about to take the group fitness and exercise nation by storm! More precise movement patterns, progressions and "All New Agility Madness Intervals that will shock and fire your legs bringing your health and athleticism to new heights." No matter what age, gender or fitness level you are, Plyo PowerŪ, when instructed properly, can be challenging and one of the most effective exercise programs you will ever experience!
