MODIFIT (MOBILITY TOOLS) — Bridgend, Wales
The Heritage: Proudly operating as the UK's only custom weightlifting belt manufacturer, Modifit (via Mobility Tools) brings bespoke, heavy-duty craftsmanship to the strength and conditioning sector. Hand-made on UK soil, their workshop serves everyone from local independent gyms to producing manufacturing runs for global fitness apparel giants.
The Verdict: When safety and peak physical performance are on the line, mass-produced gear simply won't suffice. Modifit crafts their belts from premium Italian vegetable-tanned leathers, ensuring they can withstand a lifetime of heavy lifting. Backed by a lifetime warranty (including the hardware), this is the definitive choice for the dedicated athlete.
Core Products: Custom leather lever and prong powerlifting belts, weightlifting straps, and knee sleeves.
