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.

A big space eating alternative to some of the other belt squats out there, nice that you're able to change the orientation of the weight horns if wanted.

The Bells of Steel belt squat is a great option for training legs without loading your spine. It’s compact compared to many belt squat machines but still feels stable under load. I use it mainly for squats and marches. Good addition for garage gyms that want heavy leg work without a barbell on the back.

Thought I got one helluva deal of FBMP at $800 until I’ve seen many others getting away with theirs for much much less. Still, at my price point I may have paid a “reasonable” amount. Nothing to lose sleep over. Very solid and simple machine with all the big pivot points being commercial grade machinery. It’s way over built. The only issue comes from. Changing heights on the J-hook. Can feel clunky. Not usually a problem in a home gym. Band pegs of added resistance is nice. With being able to load plates vertically this really is probably the best belt squat out there that’s no the Rhino or Squatmax

Picked this machine up on FBMP for $500 and honestly happy with it for that price. It do not fit through my door to get it in my gym. Had to take out 4 bolts making it 2 pieces and it was then small enough to honestly fit through any door. I’m very happy with this piece very comfortable to use and feels extremely sturdy. PS: whole machine is steel so spotter lite anywhere you’d like

I have the bells of steel belt squat in my home gym, I am absolutely thrilled with it, I’ve had it for about 6 weeks and I was just over DIY hacks to belt squat when this beauty popped up on marketplace for $125! It’s very rare to get it at that price and that might make my review a little more biased but I’ve seen them on marketplace in my area in the $5-600 range and I think that it would still be a steal at that price.

Love this belt squat from BOS. Has a nice feel to it, no strain on the low back and allows you to hit the legs hard. Don’t need to load it up super heavy to get a good stimulus. Still not super cheap, but more affordable than other belt squats on the market. BOS markets it as “versatile” but I only find myself using it for belt squats which is okay. At 5’ 7” I able to get a full ROM without having to modify the machine. The belt it comes with is solid as well. Can find on FB marketplace for $500-$600 which would be a great buy in my opinion!
