This review is for the ProFitness leatherlifting belt in small. I am in no way affiliated with this company or vendor, and I was not provided anything in exchange for this review.Before buying this belt, I did extensive research on lifting belts. I wanted a leather belt that would last for life, but I also didn't want to pay over $50. The Inzer Forever Belts, while really nice, were just a tad out of my price range. Perusing Reddit and fitness forums, folks seemed to suggest a 4" non-tapered leather belt, so that was my goal.After all my research, it came down to this belt and the Dark Iron Fitness leather lifting belt. From what I can tell from pictures, the two seem nearly identical apart from price (the ProFitness was a few dollars cheaper and had free same-day shipping) and the fact that the Dark Iron Fitness includes a lifetime warranty. I don't see any mention of a warranty on the ProFitness belt, and since I didn't notice the warranty on the Dark Iron Fitness until after purchasing this belt, I hope I don't regret my decision. I'm going to ask the vendor to clarify whether the ProFitness belt includes a warranty.MATERIAL - The leather is very thick yet pliable. It feels much more expensive than it actually cost and has a nice quality suede backing.STYLING - The logo is a tad large but is simple enough. I actually kind of like it. The red contrasting stitching looks really great against the black leather and won't show dirt quite like white stitching would (part of why I chose the red).BUCKLE - I'm glad that I opted for a double buckle. The buckle is very sturdy without being too heavy or bulky. It feels nice on and doesn't pinch, even when I'm carrying a little extra fluff around the midsection. I feel like I could like a ton of weight and the buckle would never fail on me. I do wish there were a small leather flap under the buckle like I've seen with a few other leather lifting belts, which would prevent the inevitable cold shock when the metal buckle touches bare skin in the case of my shirt riding up.FIT - Measured at navel level, my true waist measures 30.5" without cinching the tape measurer, so I decided on a small. This was the right choice. During lifts, I cinch the belt to the third set of holes from the end, which seems to serve a nice balance between not being able to breathe and having enough abdominal pressure. If I wear the belt over a thicker top or coat, the second set of holes works nicely.PERFORMANCE - I definitely saw an immediate improvement in my lifts, particularly squats. The belt allowed for exceptional intrabdominal pressure, and it kept my form tight. I instantly added weight to all my lifts. So far, I've used the belt for squats, deadlifts, and overhead press, and my form feels a lot more solid during max sets. I initially experienced some slight pinching during deadlifts, but I played with the position of the belt a bit, and it doesn't seem to be a problem now.All in all, this is a very solid, well-made leather lifting belt. I expect this to last for a long time and will hopefully update my review as a use this throughout the next few years.EDIT: I talked with Troy, the lovely gentleman who sells these belts, and it does come with a lifetime warranty. Highly recommend this product based on customer service alone - his responses were prompt and very friendly. Five stars.

This weight lifting belt is really nice and well made. I ordered the large size by mistake. Contacted the company directly and was sent the correct size of medium within 2 business days. The medium fit my 33" waist size perfectly. Highly recommend their products !

great for weightlifting

My first weight lifting belt at 41yo and it works great. No more low back pain with barbell squats. Great quality. Wish I would have tried this sooner.

What a great belt! I’ve had many versions but this one, by far, is a keeper. Good construction, thick but not overly. Good support and doesn’t dog into skin if u like to wear it under your shirt. The black w/ red stitching looks stunning. Makes you want to lift heavy! It stays in place without having to have it super tight where it is uncomfortable. The double ‘belt prongs’ fit well and keeps the belt on placer. Even a littleLoose, it didn’t move out of place.I will say measure yourself according to their instructions. I ordered a medium & it was too small. The holes sit deep so you need a little extra room. I contacted their customer support and Farish (the rep) was GREAT. She was positive, quick to respond & I had a new belt in 4 days. That alone would make me check out their other products. Give the belt a try, I doubt you’ll be disappointed!!
