About Us

WeightVest.com, Inc. began its journey in 1983 in the small city of Pocatello, Idaho, with a clear vision: to create high-quality weight vests tailored for the demands of martial arts training. Recognizing the need for innovative tools to enhance strength, endurance, and agility, the founders combined their passion for fitness with craftsmanship to design vests that catered to the rigorous demands of martial artists.

As pioneers in the industry, WeightVest.com introduced the first adjustable weight vests in the USA, featuring solid bar weights. This innovation set a new standard for fitness gear, offering unmatched versatility for all disciplines of fitness, from martial arts to general strength training, endurance sports, fire-fighting testing and training and beyond.

With a focus on durability, functionality, and comfort, WeightVest.com quickly gained recognition as a leader in the weight vest market. Over the years, the company expanded its reach, becoming a trusted source for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and professionals across various disciplines.

WeightVest.com remains true to its roots, proudly designing and manufacturing its products in the USA, and continuing its legacy as a trailblazer in the fitness industry.
