We wanted to take things one step further for our customers. Our goal is to provide you with the best weightlifting belts around and premium customization options. Customization options not available anywhere else. That’s exactly what we did.

 

 

Today, we're proud to introduce our exclusive Bespoke Weightlifting Belts.

Our new Bespoke Belts service is suited for those looking for premium lifting belts with that personalized touch. Each belt is 100% unique and tailored to your exact specifications.

Every aspect is customizable. From the shape, thickness, leather colours, buckle type, rivet colour, and of course - what you actually want embroidered or printed on the belt is taken to account.

Once we have your design, our staff will design a mockup and send it over to you for final approval. If everything is good to go, our master craftsmen will begin working on your piece. In 4-6 weeks, your custom belt will be ready.

One-of-a-Kind Weight Lifting Belts Created For You

We’ve searched far and wide for the finest leathers and metals that go into making a premium belt. We wanted the best of the best.

Now we are going one step further and enabling you to order our belts to your own specification.

Our research showed that competitors were simply printing text and logos onto existing poor quality belts and branding them as custom. We didn't want an average weightlifting belt with printed text.

While some may consider that custom, it's simply not good enough for our team at Gunsmith Fitness.  

When you use our Bespoke Belt service, it's the equivalent of walking into a tailor on Saville Row for a high-end suit. You're getting a luxury, high-end product specifically tailored to your exact wants and needs.

After fine tuning the creation process and with our master craftsmen on your behalf, we did just that. We're proud to announce we've created the launch of our customized weightlifting belts.

Bespoke Belts from Gunsmith Fitness are here.

Designing Your Bespoke Belt

Our Bespoke Belts are made of the highest quality leather and come available in every way imaginable.

We left no rock unturned with regards to customization options and offerings. Your custom weightlifting belt will be 100% unique and specifically designed to your requirements

Below you'll find a few of our personalization options, including:

Belt Style

We offer two distinct belt styles. You can select the traditional Olympic or a powerlifting shape. Typically, the Olympic lifting belt features a curved, tapered designed and is more popular with bodybuilders and general gym goers.

Our powerlifting belts feature a straight design that is commonly used by strongmen and powerlifters. 

As these belts are thicker, they spread the pressure over more of the torso to ensure you move more weight.

Belt Size

We offer five distinct sizes for our Bespoke Belts. It's essential you order the right one for your physique. Luckily, that's easy to do. Simply follow our measuring instructions and you'll be good to go. If you would like a size not listed, simply get in touch with your measurements and we'll handle it.

To find your ideal size, you'll want to measure your waist between around the belly button. You need to measure the area between the hips and ribs. Make sure to pull the tape tight for best measurement. 

One more note regarding belt size: don't use your pant size to determine the size of your lifting belt. That's a recipe for disaster and an ill-fitting weightlifting belt. Here are our general sizing guidelines once you have your measurement: 

• Small: 20"-30"
• Medium: 26"-35"
• Large: 31"-40"
• X-Large: 36"-45"
• XX-Large: 41"-50"

Thickness

Our Bespoke Belts come in three sizes:

• 6-7mm
• 10mm
• 13mm

For regular gym goers and bodybuilders, we've found the 6-7mm belt is ideal. This thickness offers more versatility, while still offering safety benefits and stability. 

Powerlifters generally select 10mm or 13mm. These sizes are the thickest permitted weightlifting belts by international federations. 

Buckle Type

At Gunsmith Fitness, we're excited to offer a variety of buckle types for your custom weightlifting belt. We offer four different buckle types, including:

• Single Prong
• Double Prong
• Quick Release
• Lever

The best buckle type for your needs depends on your preferences and how you'll be using the custom weightlifting belt. Overall, we've found all four buckle types work well and offer advantages.

Single prong is a classic weightlifting belt style. This tends to be our most popular design choice. If you're new to weightlifting belts, we often suggest selecting a single prong belt. 

Double prong belts and quick release belts both have their purposes. Some individuals like the double prong style, as they find these belts offer even more stability. The quick release design ensures you can get out of your belt faster than ever before, which can be ideal after an exhausting set.

Lever belts are almost as popular as single prong ones. Many powerlifters have switched to a lever belt due to how easy it is to get on and off. Plus, this belt style makes it even easier to cinch up your belt as tight as possible and increase stability. Our levers are made from stainless steel and come with a lifetime guarantee.

Outer Colour

Our custom weightlifting belts come in a variety of colours, including:  

• Black
• Brown
• Red
• White
• Grey
• Pink

Inner Belt Colour

Whether you're looking to match the outer belt colour or add contrast, our Bespoke Belts allow you to customize the inner belt colour how you desire. Popular colours include:

• Black
• Brown
• Red
• White
• Grey
• Pink

Inner Belt Material

The inside of our customized weightlifting belts are made of premium leather or high-quality suede. If you want the inside to match the outside, then premium leather is the ideal choice. If you're looking to add contrast, select suede styling.

Your Text or Logo

Any words, phrase or saying you desire can be printed or embroidered on your Bespoke Belt. From your name to your Instagram handle to your undying love for Latinas - we'll put it on your belt here at Gunsmith Fitness.

Typically, you can add one or two lines of text or your logo. Sometimes there's enough space to add one line of text and a logo. It just depends on the size of the logo.

More Customization Options

Our Bespoke Belts are designed to offer you every single customization you desire. Bodybuilders and powerlifters can also customize:

• Buckle Colour
• Rivet Colour
• Edge Stitching Colour
• Text Color
• Print or Embroidery

Every single facet of our Bespoke Belts is completely customizable to your exact needs and specifications. No matter how you want your custom weightlifting belt to look or function, our master craftsman will make it happen.

If there’s anything else you’d like to customize that’s not listed on the order form,  you can state your requirements in the final box to further describe your needs.

• Karina Elle

Karina Elle is a world-renowned fitness model, trainer, and a former cheerleader from Florida. Named the most “in-demand” fitness model in 2014 by numerous publications, she hasn't slowed down as of late.

Do You 'Need' a Weightlifting Belt?

We may be a little be biased here at Gunsmith Fitness.

Not only do we genuinely believe we make the absolute best custom weight belts money can buy, but we also know these belts are exceptionally valuable when moving weight in the gym.

And that's not just because our belts look better than anything else on the market.

It's because weightlifting belts, be it custom or not, are exceptionally beneficial for serious gym goers. For individuals striving to hit their fitness goals, a custom weight belt can be the 'secret' sauce that allows you to get over that final plateau.

Or simply help you stay injury-free while getting those gains.

In fact, here's a handful of reasons why weightlifting belts can be your best friend when taking your iron therapy seriously:

• Injury-Free

The main reason most gym junkies use a weightlifting belt is to prevent injuries when moving a lot of weight relative to their bodyweight.

At Gunsmith Fitness, we highly recommend incorporating weightlifting belts once you're able to squat and/or deadlift 2X your bodyweight or more.

When moving double or even triple your bodyweight on the bar, it's essential to use a weightlifting belt to account for any imbalances in your strength and conditioning.

Without the belt, there's a higher percentage chance of injury when moving a lot of weight relative to your bodyweight.

• Pumpin' Plates

More plates! That's the name of the game when talking barbell training, gracious gains, and things of the like.

By incorporating a custom weightlifting belt when doing their main barbell lifts, many experience gym goers see an immediate 5-15% strength increase.

However, don't get too excited here...

This only works for intermediate to advanced lifters.

Noobies should not rely solely on a weightlifiting belt to ensure they can move more weight. Be patient if you're new to the gym, as the gains and extra plates will come without outside intervention.

• Relieve the Spine

There's no denying that the squat and deadlift put heavy stress on the spine, and back overall.

There's also no denying a proper weightlifting belt can relieve a lot of this pressure and keep your spine healthy.

Here's how:

By wearing a weight belt, you'll find 'intra-abdominal' pressure inside you will increase by around 40%. Give or take.

Once this occurs, the resulting compression throughout the lower back and discs can decrease by a similar percentage...leading to a significant reduction in pressure on your lower back and spine overall.

• Look Fine

We're not here to beat around the bush. At Gunsmith Fitness, we call a 'spade' a 'spade' each and every day.

So...custom weightlifting belts can look great in the gym.

Not only do you get a unique custom design that will stand out from standard belts found in gyms throughout the world, but the belt itself can also add shape and sex appeal to your physique.

Why?

When wearing your weight belt, the waist will look far smaller than normal.

For men, this results in that 'v-taper' shape that great lats result in. For women, the weight belt ensures their hips and waist have a ratio that most men find intoxicating.

Just stating facts here, y'all. Don't shoot the messenger.

A weight belt can look damn good on you in the gym.

• Perfect Your Form

Finally, a weightlifting belt also allows you to improve bio-mechanics and form on your main barbells lifts with ease.

Research found weight belts offer perfected biomechanics when squatting and deadlifting.

How?

Because these belts force you to lift more with the legs and glutes - not just your back.

Luckily, legs can adapt to heavy weight and stimulus quicker than any other muscle group. Which makes weight belts ideal for improving bio-mechanics and putting on slabs of muscle.
