HOW TO DO A PROPER BOX JUMP

Setup  Stand facing a sturdy box, side-on to the camera.

  1. Dip into a quarter-squat and swing your arms.
  2. Jump onto the box, landing soft with your hips fully open.
  3. Stand tall, then step back down.
Form cue: Land soft, full extension

How The Check Works

THREE STEPS TO A SCORED BOX JUMP

1

Prop your phone and get in frame

Phone at roughly torso height, set up side-on to the camera. A quick camera test checks lighting, distance, and angle before you start.

2

The camera locks a 17-point skeleton on you

GOODREPS measures your knee angle (hip → knee → ankle) on-device — no wearables. A sturdy box or platform at a height you can stick softly.

3

Move — and watch the form bar

The bar fills from ~170° toward ~115° at the bottom. Cut range short and it tells you; full ROM is what counts.

Under The Hood

WHAT THE CAMERA WATCHES

Fix These First

COMMON BOX JUMP MISTAKES

Landing loud and stiff

Absorb with hips and knees. Noise means you are pounding cartilage.

Knees caving on landing

Knees track over mid-foot. Soft knees, strong hips.

Box too high for honest reps

Pride heights create ugly landings. Lower the box; own the landing.

Jumping down carelessly

Step down when fatigued. The landing off the box is another risk.

Your Data

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Rep counting runs entirely on your device — your camera feed is never uploaded.

Pose detection runs in your browser via TensorFlow.js. Camera frames are analyzed in real time and immediately discarded — nothing is recorded, nothing leaves your phone, and we never see them. Sign-in is optional; skip it and everything stays local.

FAQ

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Do I need any equipment to check my box jump form?

Just your phone for most variations. Add free weights when the pattern is clean — the app still scores the movement either way.

Does it work in a home gym or low light?

Run the built-in camera test first — it checks your lighting, distance, and angle with live green checks before you start. If a rep still slips through, manual counting is always one tap away.

Is my camera feed uploaded anywhere?

No. Pose detection runs entirely on your phone, in your browser. Frames are analyzed in real time and immediately discarded — nothing is recorded, nothing is uploaded.
