We took a coach-favorite and made it even better. The AAI Quad Bars are a bold upgrade from our previous Multi-Plex System – redesigned with enhanced adjustability, precise engineering and long-lasting durability. Each bar now adjusts from just 4” above the mat to a full 5’, offering flexibility for skill progression across all levels. With laser-cut parts and a powder-coated finish in Classic AAI Navy Vein, this system delivers the performance coaches need and the reliability they trust.

Designed with outside uprights and a triangle-pattern base for added stability, this system combines thoughtful design with durable construction to support every aspect of your training program. From skill development to conditioning, the features of this system are engineered to enhance performance and efficiency in your gym.

VERSATILE TRAINING SYSTEM

The quad bars support a variety of training applications, making them an essential tool in any coach’s gym. Whether you’re running bar skill stations, strength-building circuits, or conditioning drills, this system adapts seamlessly to your program. With four adjustable bars, and customizable rail lengths, coaches can create a dynamic training setup that accommodates multiple athletes at once – boosting efficiency.

CUSTOMIZABLE TO FIT YOUR GYM

No two gyms are alike—and the Quad Bars are built to reflect that. Whether you need a full 4-bar system for maximum training capacity or a compact 2 or 3-bar setup to fit your space, this system adapts to your layout and coaching needs. With variable rail lengths and anchored stability, you can customize your configuration without sacrificing performance or safety.

ADJUSTMENT HEIGHTS

The lowest setting is approximately 8” from the floor to the top of the bar and the highest setting is 64” from the floor to the top of the bar. When adjusting the bar, loosen the spin lock and pull the snap lock out and adjust a couple of holes on each end at a time. When the bar is set where you want it, make sure the snap lock is in the hole, and tighten the spin lock. Do not overtighten the spin lock. When not using the bottom setting, make sure to place the safety pin through the hole below the adjust assembly.

  • Lowest: Approximately 8” from the floor to the top of the bar
  • Highest: Approximately 64” from the floor to the top of the bar

RAIL OPTIONS

Choose between 6’ or 8’ rails to suit your gym layout and training goals.

To order just the rails individually, go here:

Graphite Rail

DURABILITY THAT DELIVERS

Built to withstand the demands of daily training, the Quad Bars are constructed from high-strength steel and anchored securely to the floor for maximum stability. The uprights and holes are laser-cut for precision and powder-coated in our signature AAI Navy Vein.

DIMENSIONS

  • Total Footprint When Using 8’ Rails: 232 19/64” square
  • Total Footprint When Using 6’ Rails: 187 19/64” square

QUAD BAR MATTING

Pair your Quad Bars with our custom-designed mats, available in 6’ or 8’ widths to match your rail length. We recommend 4” mats for optimal support during training. These mats are engineered to fit seamlessly with the system, providing a secure and cushioned surface

AAI EVO-ELITE Power Vault Table

Introducing the one-of-a-kind AAI EVO-Elite™ Power Vault Table – where precision meets performance. Embark on a new era of gymnastics excellence with AAI’s NEW competition vault table. It’s precisely engineered for elite performance – providing the perfect rebound during vault skills. This apparatus is set to revolutionize the gymnastics vault market.

Featuring meticulous craftsmanship from our engineers, the AAI EVO-Elite™ Power Vault Table goes beyond the ordinary, offering superior grip, unparalleled versatility, and more. The precision in design ensures not just a piece of equipment but a performance partner that will elevate your vault skills to new heights. Inspire athletes in your gym, set a new standard, and reach the pinnacle of gymnastics achievement with the AAI EVO-Elite™ Power Vault Table.

What makes the AAI EVO-ELITE Power Vault Table Different?

DIMENSIONS

  • The EVO-Elite™ Power Vault Table base measures 46 inches by 36 ½ inches and weighs 315 lbs.
  • Base and Attachment Piston – 240 lbs.
  • Vaulting Surface – 75 lbs.

Characteristics

This vault table will redefine the standard for performance and innovation. Precisely engineered with the athlete top of mind, ensuring they receive the perfect grip and “pop” rebound that is critical during vault skills.

Precise Engineering

Say goodbye to uncertainties, as every vault attempt is met with the exact response athletes expect – empowering them to push their boundaries.
The EVO-Elite™ Power Vault Table was engineered with the assistance of a retired Olympic gymnast, who helped provide feedback and create the perfect feel athletes want and expect during vaulting. This table maximizes deflection, lowering the impact force on athletes’ wrists when contacting the table. With a lower impact force and higher deflection than our previous vault table, it delivers a softer feel, reducing athlete injuries and allowing for more repetitions during training sessions.

Grip and Surface

Experience superior grip with the texture of your choice for the vault top – suede or TAC/10. The TAC/10 material is a composite leather that gives incredible grip and less slipping, while suede provides a good balance between traction and comfort. The outer edges of the vault top are covered in a breathable scuba material that permits air to escape during rebound, which then delivers a better ‘pop’ performance for the athlete.

Versatile

The new EVO-Elite™ Power Vault top fits on our existing vault base, making it simple to swap out your old vault top to the latest and greatest – EVO-Elite™ Power Vault.  Enhance the performance of your gym without needing extensive modifications or new equipment. Our user-friendly design ensures hassle-free installation, minimizing downtime in your gym.

Durability

Compete with confidence on the EVO-Elite™ Power Vault Table. Every component is optimized to ensure a seamless blend of strength, flexibility, and durability creating a vault table that exceeds the rigorous demands of gymnastics training and competition.

Adjustment Heights

This vault table has the same adjustments as the EVO®-Elite Vault Table. Offering a broad range of heights, beginning at 95 cm, and rising as high as 135 cm. Ensuring athletes can achieve optimal performance at their ideal height.

  • Lowest:  95cm
  • 100 cm
  • 105 cm
  • 110 cm
  • 115 cm
  • 120cm
  • 125cm
  • 130cm
  • Highest: 135 cm

AAI EVO-ELITE Power Vault Table

• Bringing “Power” into your vaults without the sting of the past.
• Provide your athletes with the best possible training environment using the EVO-Elite ™ Power Vault Table.
• The Rebound Revolution: AAI’s EVO-Elite™ Power Vault Table takes the impact not the athletes.
• Achieve greater heights and perform more dynamic vaults with confidence using AAI’s EVO-Elite ™ Power Vault Table.
• Train longer and vault smarter with AAI’s EVO-Elite™ Power Vault Table.
• Increased rebound by 30% compared to our current model.

Additional Product Information from Engineering

Our Engineering team has done extensive FIG testing on multiple rounds of prototypes to maximize three variables in the response from the table. Those variables are rebound, deflection, and impact force.

Rebound – This maybe the most important improvement from our previous table. The rebound of the table has been dialed in near to the maximum allowable amount by FIG regulations. The improved rebound will help athletes get more force back from the table in response when they hit it. Our testing shows a 30% increase in rebound compared to our current FIG table.
Deflection and Impact Force – These two variables go somewhat hand in hand, maximizing deflection lowers the impact force on athletes’ wrists when contacting the table. This table has a lower impact force and higher deflection from our old FIG table. This translates to a softer feel and less injuries to the athletes, as well as more possible repetitions in a training session.

The technology implemented to achieve these advancements is a combination of a spring foam block configuration, multi-layer fiberglass, fiberglass flexion, a breathable cover, and softer top foam.
