History

Established in 1996.

The birth of the PlyoCity Workout/​Methodology dates back to the late 70’s when Mike Rangel, then a high-​school basketball and volleyball coach, began to put his entire teams through the very same plyometric workout movements he had learned from various international players while playing collegiate volleyball at Long Beach State.

If someone would have approached Mike Rangel three years ago and told him that he would be operating his own business and training just under 1000 athletes a week — from the local AYSO Team to the NBA– he would have laughed out loud and disregarded the statement as if it were a joke.

Only it wouldn’t have been. What began innocently enough as a father helping his son train for volleyball season on a grassy field at Aliso Niguel High School has turned into Plyo-​City Youth Development program, operating out of nine facilities in Orange County.

With the average class size of 50 to 75 athletes and a maximum of 115, it’s not uncommon for Rangel to conduct classes where an 8 year-​old will be working out next to a college athlete.

«I love the variety of ages and sports that I can combine in just one class,» Rangel said. «The young athletes learn from the older ones, the older ones try to keep up with the younger ones»
