Fire Team FitWeight Lifting Belt for Men and Women, 6 Inch, Bodybuilding & Fitness Back Support for Cross Training Workout, Squats, Lunges

I've tried multiple belts that were either borrowed from the gym or from friends, and this one is easily the most comfortable belt I've tried yet. The Velcro makes it real easy to loosen and tighten, it supports my back just find, and it doesn't dig into my hips or back when doing squats. It also folds up nicely to store away in my bag. Unlike traditional leather belts that are curled into a huge loop, this one tri-folds and can be slipped into my gym bag. It has held up nicely so far, and it came at a very affordable price. I'd definitely buy this as a gift for any gym friends, or even recommend it to anyone who is looking for a new gym belt.

I like it good value for the money. My favorite color. The buckle works well. Very durable. Thick enough for my needs.

When I began to squat heavier at the gym, my husband decided to purchase this for me as I found that my form wasn't nearly as flawless as with the lighter weights. He had a lifting belt from Nike that was contoured, making for an overall better fit. Unfortunately, they didn't have them in a smaller size for me so he opted for this one instead.First off, the colour is absolutely beautiful and vibrant. The wide range of sizes ensures that everyone will be able to find one that fits them perfectly. The construction is super heavy duty and overall, this product is high quality and well-made!. In comparison to the straight banded lifting belts, the contoured design really does make for a more comfortable and superior fit!

I actually bought this for a very specific purpose not having to do with going to the gym. I have an 85 lb yellow lab who is 10 and has arthritis. Stairs have become a huge issue and sometimes he just can't make them up them alone. On those occasions I have to carry him (or at least provide serious support). In the past I have hurt my lower back (which is prone to problems) trying to get him up the stairs. I got this belt to simply wear when I need to lift him. I've now used it once for that and I have to say that it really did provide the needed support and my back did not hurt after carrying my dog. It's very lightweight, yet extremely sturdy and the velcro belt cinches easily and holds firm.You should remember that when you order, your size is not your waist size. Measure around your gut at belly button level. I am a 29" waist, but around my midsection I am a 33". I went for the X-Small even though I was right on the cusp and I believe I made the right size choice. I make the belt very snug and although because I'm at the high end of the X-Small size I only get a bit of the velcro closure, it holds great.

I have a 37-1/2 waist where I put the belt (slightly above the love handles), and as I'm on the heavy side but on my way to losing weight, I purchased size Small, as I wanted the belt to fit snuggly. It does fit snuggly (as it's supposed to), the Velcro gripping a good three inches when I strap it on, and this Velcro is not going to come loose, and there's plenty of more gripping Velcro for when I slim down. In front there's a gap where the two ends of the belt meet at my navel of one inch, so meaning that the ends don't overlap. This size is perfect, and I spend so much detail on sizing as it seems to be the item that most people messed up when ordering. Belt is very well constructed, nice stitching, as has been noted by others, and it's light weight even while providing a powerful 'cinching' effect. I like the metal buckle with the rolling tube, nice touch. I'd heartily recommend for the at-home weight lifter, or gym warrior. I had wondered about the raised padding design on the back, and now I realize the belt is so light-weight that those provide a stiffened back so that the belt spreads the force evenly across the belt back; again, a nice touch. Moreover, if this is the quality of other Fire Team Fit products, I'd probably purchase from them again.

I was looking at several different options for weightlifting belts when I found this one from Fire Team Fit. The reviews were good, the price was good, and I liked the sound of the company, so I made my decision.I am still pretty new to heavy lifting, so I was pretty regularly pushing too hard without a quality belt and subsequently injuring myself. I had borrowed and tried other belts, and they helped some, but they didn't provide enough support for me. With this belt, though, I've been able to push harder with deadlifts and squats, as well as set a new deadlift PR, substantially heavier than my previous PR, within two weeks of training with the new belt.The belt itself is interesting, relatively thin but sturdy, and it provides great support. I really like what I've seen of the company, too; they seem like good people, and they provide excellent customer service. I did not require as much assistance as some of the other reviewers, for whom Fire Team Fit went the extra mile to provide service, but they were very prompt in responding to my questions and offering help if I did need it.I would absolutely recommend the belt as well as the company to anyone looking for a good, cost-effective weightlifting belt.

I've bought these belts before and love this company. My only complaint on this one is that whoever finished it or packaged it slit it in two places with a box cutter. I bought the American flag belt and there are two very fine slices down the backside straight to the padding. Just disappointed is all. Belt is still good for work.
