Our Range of Lifting Belts
Enhance your heavy lifting workouts with our robust range of gym belts. We stock everything from a lever lifting belt to a padded dip belt.
With sturdy structures and secure fits, these weightlifting belts provide expert stability and support. They are designed to help you maintain proper form and reduce pressure on your spine and lower back to prevent injury during lifts.
Here’s what you can expect from our range of gym belts for heavy lifting.
Lever Belts
Our lever belt selection is made from only the highest quality leather for maximum durability. These robust belts feature a non-slip suede finish and are available in multiple sizes (S-XL) to cater to a wide variety of users.
Unlike a traditional weightlifting belt that uses a pronged buckle, these belts are secured with levers. This innovative design enables easy tightening and a quick release for enhanced efficiency during your training session.
Each lever buckle is manufactured using cast alloy. However, depending on your preferences, you can upgrade this to steel, copper, petrol-effect or gold. We also offer 6 different lever belt colours to suit everyone’s style.
Pro Lever Belts
While a pro belt and a regular lever belt have very similar designs, the two differ in terms of thickness. Unlike a 10mm lever weightlifting belt, our impressive pro belts are 13mm thick.
This added thickness provides increased support and is essential for anyone doing extra-heavy lifts. For example, experienced weightlifters looking to push their limits could use a pro lever belt to help them hit a new one rep max.
Cross-Training Belts
If you’re looking for a versatile weight lifting belt, look no further than our cross-training selection. These gym belts are manufactured using nylon and boast a unique design that is both lightweight and sturdy.
Featuring steel buckles and velcro straps, these belts offer the best of both worlds with an extra-secure fit. They’re also compatible with multiple different training styles and can provide maximum support during even the most diverse workouts.
Considering their versatility, these weight belts are ideal for commercial gym environments. They’re also especially useful for anyone wanting to add to their collection of CrossFit equipment.
Dip Belts
Unlike a traditional weightlifting belt, which facilitates heavy lifts, a dipping belt works to increase external resistance during bodyweight-based exercises like pull-ups. This helps maximise your gains for enhanced strength-building.
Before you begin your set, simply add weights to your belt by securing them to the chain at the front. For extra comfort, each dip belt features padding to prevent your belt from digging into you once loaded.

Weightlifting Belts - FAQs
Are you eager to enhance your bodybuilding or powerlifting performance with an expertly designed weight lifting belt? Before making your purchase, it’s essential to be as informed as possible.
We’ve answered a few commonly asked questions below to provide you with some extra insight and guidance.
Who should wear a weightlifting belt?
Worn around the waist, weightlifting belts are designed to provide maximum support during heavy lifting. However, it’s important to note that they are not suitable for everyone.
Generally, a lever belt will only really benefit you if you’re lifting 1 to 1.5 times your body weight. To prevent injury, they should also only be used if you already know how to perform exercises like squats and deadlifts with proper form.
These guidelines mean that weightlifting belts are not ideal for beginners. However, if you’re an experienced athlete who does powerlifting, CrossFit, Olympic weightlifting or bodybuilding, a belt can be extremely useful.
When should I use a weightlifting belt?
A weightlifting belt (also called a powerlifting belt) is great for a variety of intense barbell workouts. However, they are most commonly used for rigid support during compound exercises such as the following.
- Rows
- Deadlifts
- Overhead presses
- Squats
- Clean and jerks
- Snatches
While weight belts are ideal if you’re performing an extra heavy lift, they should not be used all the time. It’s essential to balance your training so you can continue to develop your natural core strength.
