Build Your Quads
Break parallel and plateaus by mounting the weight horns vertically, so your weight plates don't bottom out before you do. The increased ROM will let you squat deep enough that you'll finish your set saying, "Oh my QUAD!"

Highly Versatile
Swap out squats for calf raises, marches, lunges, RDLs, rows, and more. Add a cable attachment and curl if the mood strikes you. Curling in the squat rack is soooo last year.
Product Details
Out-train back pain and upper body mobility limitations while building lower body strength. The Belt Squat Machine is space-efficient and versatile, unlocking endless exercises for your home gym at an unbeatable price.
Built like a tank, this beast boasts an impressive 700lb capacity (step aside, Hip Thrust Machine). Plus, its innovative design features commercial-grade Zerk bearings and band pegs for improving your lockout strength.
Despite its beastly strength, this strength machine is a gentle giant in your gym space. At a modest 51" x 81" footprint, it's already a surprisingly good fit — but here's the kicker: mount those weight pegs vertically, and you've instantly shrunk the footprint down to 51" x 52.5". That's nearly 30" of extra breathing room for more equipment, more exercises, or just more room to flex in the mirror.
IMPORTANT: The belt squat machine has 13 adjustable heights but is not guaranteed to allow all lifters to squat ATG (full depth). If you bottom out early, standing on stackable pull blocks or bumper plates or placing your machine on a DIY platform will give you the extra range of motion you need.

- LBLuis B.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoFirst & Last Bell Squat
Love it. It was odd at first, I have to admit but I'm getting used to it.
Assembly took me close to 3 hours. I would recommend adding labels to the screws & step guide. Also breaking down the steps into smaller sections and listing them in sequence.
Lastly, I would've like to have the arms connected at the bottom, so I can replaced the cross member with band pegs. The problem with doing that as is, is that each side is independent from each other. That way I have room to squat without having yo hang on to the crossbar.
- NNofate247Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoWELL WORTH THE PRICE OF ADMISSION
This thing OVER DELIVERED on all my expectations. Takes up much less space than you'd think if you setup the loading pins vertically. Belt is premium and squatting on this hits all legs and no lower back, which is why I got it. No limitations on squat depth. A number of other auxiliary exercises feel great too. Favorites being shrugs and bent over 1 arm Rows.
- DJDamen J.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars6 months agoExcellent addition to my gym
Having a barbell on my back twice a week for leg training years on end was getting a little old, especially as I myself am getting older. I bought the belt squat so I could still load my legs without loading my spine yet not have the same footprint or cost as a decent leg press.
Absolutely loving this unit. I put a couple stackable pull blocks on the foot plate so I can get ATG and it absolutely fries my legs.
Only suggestions I would make are:
1. Replace the bar with handles and have the two uprights connected at a different point as the bar gets in the way of my face while I’m going down (see the Matt Wenning belt squat for example).
2. Thicker rubber stoppers on the weight horns as my plates still hit against the bolts and I had to order some after market ones from Etsy (the stoppers you have for the manticore weight horns would be perfect)
Overall very happy with this purchase I look forward to using it every week.

Pretty great tbh.
I’d like to see the middle bar replaced by two ADJUSTABLE handles on each side (knurled of course ).
Then, if there were some kind of leaver system to allow the weight arm to be held in place while the safety arm is pulled out of the way for j cup adjustments (changing heights for high traffic use).
If y’all haven’t, come out with some elevation for people to stand on to allow greater ROM. I cut up some stall mats and it worked great.
