June 2003:
“We’ve created a workout that is easily harder than anything I have done in my life,” said Kiraly. “I enjoy the results. I feel like I’ve been able to turn back the clock. I jump higher. I’m stronger and I’m quicker than I was a year ago. I’m always looking to add things to the workout regimen. This seems to be paying the results.”
November 2004:
“As crazy as this may sound, the PlyoCity workout somehow got better and harder this year and paid off even more dividends. I’ve got all kinds of people who have been watching me play on this tour since 1979/80 telling me that I look like I’m jumping as effortlessly and as explosively as I did 10 years ago. So this is just an incredible workout. I feel like Ponce De Leon finding the Fountain of Youth here and I can’t recommend the Mike Rangel PlyoCity workout program enough. It’s been awesome and I think it’ll really help any athlete get to be more explosive, quicker, and better conditioned, and perform better at what he or she wants to do.”

“On behalf of PlyoCity; I’ve been in 2 Olympics and played 5 years professionally indoors/overseas. Now, after playing just a few years of professional beach volleyball and after having done all kinds of workouts with all kinds of coaches, I can honestly say that the PlyoCity workout I do with Mike Rangel on the beach along with Karch is hands down the best workout I’ve ever done. This season I was in better shape than I’ve ever been before. I was stronger, more explosive and quicker than I’ve ever been before and it made me just feel like I was the most in-shape player on the tour next to Karch.
One of the great things I like about this workout is that you work really hard and you get strong. It pushes you without breaking you. You don’t have sore knees or a sore back or anything. You just work really hard and it comes back to really help you. PlyoCity has definitely given me that extra edge to win tournaments and be a champion.” |

“Ever since starting the plyometric workouts, I have felt more energized and have shed some weight. I now feel confident when playing long matches that I can outlast the opponent and still feel fresh. PlyoCity pushes me to achieve my best! I believe that PlyoCity is a great start for young kids that play sports. It helps with coordination but it also surrounds them with others that are trying to take their game to the next level. It promotes speed, agility, and concentrates on strength building."
Butch May-Father of Misty May, Beach Legend
"Persistence, determination, hard work, and the PlyoCity workout were the key ingredients to the Gold Medal road to Athens for Misty."

"Coach Rangel's Plyo Program was the main reason I extended my stay here in Southern California during the NBA lock out. My foot speed and jumping ability (5 inch increase in 2 months) were greatly enhanced and I look forward to training with Coach Rangel again after the upcoming NBA season."

COACHES

"We've utilized PlyoCity for the last six years. My first impression was 'Wow, this is intense!' ... I am sold, I am a PlyoCity believer. No matter where you are at in your program, whether you are a yearly league champion or an annual state champion, you will be more than pleased with the improvement." |
Albert Gasparian - Head Coach Golden West College (13 straight State Championships)
"My teams have been utilizing the PlyoCity workout the last 6 seasons. In my opinion PlyoCity has been a major factor in our success and during our state tournament each season we are simply quicker, faster and in better condition than any team we face."
Kevin Kiernan - Boys and Girls Basketball Coach at Troy/Mater Dei H.S.)(Boys: 2006 Freeway League Champions, Girls: 2006 Freeway, CIF and State Champions):
"A large part of our success here at Troy High School is due to our conditioning program. This year we decided we needed to take it up a level and we turned to Mike Rangel and his PlyoCity staff. They not only came out and put our athletes through a great plyometic workout, they also tested the kids and charted their progress over an 8 week period. The improvement was amazing and easy to see. It is no coincidence both the boys and the girls basketball teams went on to have their best seasons ever. Coach Rangel and his staff are fantastic motivators and they made the hard work fun! Our kids enjoyed the conditioning and the results."
Deb Grafentin - Director, The Volleyball Academy and River City Juniors Volleyball Club: We (the River City Jrs Volleyball Club) have been doing PlyoCity for one month now and we have already seen a difference for players at all levels in our club, from 10's to 18's. The most significant improvement has been in our youngest players. Their improvement in foot speed, jumping technique and agility have been so dramatic that all coaches have given me feedback saying that they are noticing these improvements in their play. Simply put, all of our athletes are showing better coordination which is allowing them to improve their volleyball skills at a faster rate. Some of the movements for the younger players were awkward at first, but now they looking smoother and more athletic. The older players are also showing the vast improvement in their footspeed and jumping ability."
Troy Roelen - Head Boy's Basketball Coach/Athletic Director - Mission Viejo High School:
"PlyoCity's preseason basketball conditioning program has allowed our athletes to elevate their games. We have used PlyoCity for the past 6 years and the results have been outstanding. Our athletes have increased their lateral movements and explosiveness on the court. We work out with PlyoCity 2 days a week and the techniques that my athletes have mastered allow them to play longer and sustain high levels of athleticism."
PARENTS AND STUDENTS
Clay McKnight - All CIF Guard Mater Dei High School, Starting Guard at UOP
"Coach Rangel worked as hard as I did to improve my game. As a direct result of PlyoCity, I saw my jump increase 6 inches. My quickness and conditioning improved so much that my coaches at UOP commented that I looked like a different athlete. Coach Rangel is one of the few coaches who really cares about his athletes and their progress. I'd recommend PlyoCity to any athlete. "
"Coach Rangel's ability to connect with athletes is a rare gift. I have three sons that have received Division 1 scholarships and I believe with PlyoCity's help, it will be four out of four."

"My wife and I checked out the 4 or 5 best Plyo Programs in Southern California including Intense City and Fast Twitch. We now drive twice a week from Glendora, 60 miles away, to train at PlyoCity. I have never seen a program designed to enhance an athlete's foot speed, jumping ability and quickness like PlyoCity. Both of my sons, Casey and Derek, currently train at PlyoCity. Coach Rangel's ability to connect with athletes is a rare gift. I have three sons that have received Division 1 scholarships and I believe with PlyoCity's help, it will be four out of four."

“As crazy as this may sound, I saw a difference in my daughter's foot speed and quickness after one session at PlyoCity. I myself train at PlyoCity with my daughters. I only wish a program like this was available when I played college and pro football.”
