Welcome to Total Prep Fitness! It is our goal to provide athletes with custom tools to make them succeed in the game of hockey! We all know how much time is given to off-ice training when the season is over...NOT ENOUGH!! So when players get the time to develop with their dryland programs it is important that they train effectively on equipment that carries over to their direct performance on-ice. Skating-specific workouts are a must!

The game of hockey is a dynamic one. To simply train “in the gym” won’t cut it. When we think of skating, we explode off one leg at a time. Forces accelerate and decelerate our momentum up and down the ice. Building your body to be explosive takes the right tools. The Russian Box ™ by Total Prep is the most dynamic approach to hockey training. Simulating the side to side forces while empahsing explosive jumps to get as high as you can; there simply is no other workout comparable in the market today. This is not a pitch to claim our product as the only training tool you need. We understand well-rounded training programs require multiple exercises but we will claim the Russian Box ™ as the BEST skating workout off the ice. Take it from the coaches, athletes, physiologists, parents, and teams who train with the box, we welcome the feedback. For over eight years Total Prep has built the Russian Box ™ to help athletes gain that explosive edge over their competition.

How does it work?

With your knees bent and head up, load up on one leg ( back foot touching ) and explode as high as you can from one platform to the other. This is not a lateral jump box. It is intended for high explosive jumps. Doing so, you will increase your balance, coordination, endurance, agility, control, and most importantly one legged explosive power. When you receive your Russian Box ™, there will be a complete training guide and DVD to show correct form and technique. This guide will also provide a complete training manual with over 38 plyometric exercises to incorporate into your dryland program.
