What declines fastest after age 30? Not muscle mass. Not strength. Power. Muscle power drops 2-4x faster than muscle mass — and it's the strongest predictor of falls, loss of independence, and long-term function. The best tool to preserve it? Plyometrics. Plyos generates customized plyometric-focused workouts from a pool of hundreds of exercises. Press one button. Get a complete workout with warm-up, main exercises, and cooldown. Every workout is different. ONE BUTTON, FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE Generate a workout instantly, or tailor it to exactly what you need: - Workout duration (quick sessions to full training blocks) - Focus areas and target muscle groups - Effort level (beginner, intermediate, advanced) - Available equipment (bodyweight, boxes, hurdles, medicine balls, kettlebells, and more) Or don't customize at all. Just press the button. 900+ EXERCISES WITH VIDEO Browse a curated library of exercises, each with video demonstrations. Filter by difficulty, focus area, movement type, or equipment. Save your favorites or exclude exercises you don't want. Tap any exercise to watch it on YouTube. Exercises include: - Box jumps, depth jumps, and drop jumps - Bounding, hopping, and skipping drills - Upper body and medicine ball plyometrics - Single-leg and lateral movement patterns - Power, strength, mobility, and martial arts movements - Low-impact progressions for beginners INJURY PROTECTION Got injuries? Set protections for back, knee, shoulder, ankle, hip, or wrist. Plyos automatically avoids exercises that stress those areas. SMART WORKOUT FLOW During a workout, see what's coming up next, adjust rest periods, and long-press any exercise to get details or swap it out. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Log every workout automatically. View your training history with full exercise details, training frequency, and exercise variety across sessions. Tap weekly or monthly stats to see a day-by-day breakdown. Create a free account to sync across devices — or don't. The app is fully functional without one. Sign in with Google, Apple, or email. WORKS OFFLINE Your exercise library, saved workouts, and training history are always available — no internet required. COMPLETELY FREE No ads. No subscriptions. No in-app purchases. Plyos was built by someone who didn't want to get slower, weaker, or less explosive with age. If that sounds like you, start training with purpose.

Verdict

The call

pliability and Plyos both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Plyos's written reviews are positive against 41% of pliability's. Plyos also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). pliability's advantage is ratings volume (10K vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
