Product Information

On the flip-side, some of the weight now rests on your waist (your natural waist). This makes the 30kg vest not feel that much heavier than the 20kg Weighted Vest while standing upright in a resting position. That additional 10 kilograms can be a real game changer though and, we had to put considerably more effort into getting those last few reps in as opposed to the same sets and reps with the 20kg Weighted Vest.

Gravity Fitness Weighted Vests are ideal for anyone with an interest in CrossFit, gymnastics, street workout, calisthenics, resistance training or even someone simply wanting to gain some functional strength or improve their physique. Where it comes to design and reliability, both vests allow for great freedom of movement, with the light 20kg Weighted Vest obviously being the more mobile choice. The weight is there but the bulk is not. Your Gravity Fitness Weighted Vest from UK to US? Will you be using weighted vests for raising your fitness levels with some high-intensity running? How about a bodyweight exercise session, or maybe even for some additional weight while walking to help boost weight loss? If you have a clear idea of how and where you’re going to put that vest to good use, you can seek out one that’s a better fit for its intended use.The design of the weighted vest is very similar to that of the Chris Heria weighted vest, in that it fits over your head and is then secured to your body using a single Velcro strap. This design is more breathable than others on the market, but it means that the vest has a tendency to bounce around on your shoulders when running. There are many kinds of weighted vests available from very lightweight options to extremely heavy and bulky vests. The materials used for the weight can also vary from sand to ball bearings to solid cast iron weights. The Gravity Fitness weighted vest uses solid cast iron weights which can be adjusted to suit the needs of the user. We have designed our weighted vest to be short and compact to allow for full range of motion in your training. Introducing the Gravity Fitness Weighted Vest! Perfect for leveling up any workout program. Available in 10kg, 20kg & 30kg I’m confident that 90% of people reading this who go on to buy a vest will be more than happy with the 15kg option. The sleek and minimal design retains a nearly full range of motion for any exercise in general and, especially for those which Weighted Vests are meant for.

Another nifty little feature I noticed with the vest is that there are some hooks on each shoulder. My first thought is that you could use these loops to attach a resistance parachute, but I also imagine the hooks could come in use for hanging the vest up if you have a couple of hooks or coat hangers free on the wall.

We expect the same kind of durability from the 30kg Gravity Fitness Weighted Vest as from the 20kg Weighted Vest. The total weight is “only” increased by 50%, while the amount of material supporting that weight is almost doubled. There’s more fabric supporting the weight per kilogram with the 30kg version than with the 20kg Weighted Vest. General Thoughts about the Gravity Fitness Weighted Vests So, should you buy the 20kg Weighted Vest or the newer and larger 30kg version? We believe the 20kg Gravity Fitness Weighted Vest is still the most versatile choice and the one we’d recommend to just about anyone who asked. It allows you to do most if not all Calisthenics exercises without shifting and while retaining a full range of motion. The vest itself is comfortable to wear – you simply slide the vest on over your head and tighten a Velcro strap around your torso to keep the weighted vest in place. I then asked her to try the weighted vest on herself and perform as many squats as she can. She managed 19. I then asked her to take the weighted vest off, have a few minutes rest, and then try again. She was easily able to perform 45 squats without the weighted vest. Changing the total weight of the vest

If your aim is to use a weighted vest to supplement strength training, the same rules apply on the fit front, but it’s worth considering going for a heavyweight option, choosing a vest with weights that can be adjustable in increments. That way you have the ability to alter the level of resistance during workouts. Are weighted vests with removable weights better? Gravity Fitness is a giant where it comes to Calisthenics equipment and there are only a few other companies which rival it. When it comes to their Weighted Vests, you see Gravity Fitness everywhere. They seem to be the go-to for Calisthenics practitioners who aren’t pinching their pennies as the good people from the UK would say. With 30 inserts you can fine-tune the weight you want to be carrying down to the single kilogram exactly. However, we feel that you’d only buy the 30kg Weighted Vest if you intend to at least go over 20 kilograms.Whether you’re finding your workouts a little boring of late or you feel like you may have plateaued when it comes to your progress, a weighted vest can be a great way to switch things up and get the ball rolling in the right direction again. Gravity’s unique low-profile design allows for a full ROM (Range Of Motion) ensuring you can perform all of the exercises in your arsenal. A simple way to add extra resistance, they get the WH stamp of approval. Editor in Chief Claire Sanderson and Digital Fitness Writer Morgan Fargo count themselves amongst the kit's mega fans and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Go for the 20kg+ options only if you're already experienced working with weight and have a base level of fitness and muscle.
