Fitting Your Vest
- Unclip the dual front buckles and slip the vest over your head like a waistcoat.
- Ensure the weight is balanced evenly between your chest and back.
- Fasten the lower buckle first, then the upper chest buckle.
- Tighten the side straps until the vest is snug but allows for deep breaths.
- Start with shorter sessions (15-20 mins) to allow your joints to adapt to the added resistance.
What British Runners Say
Perfect for my morning power walks. The 5kg weight is just enough to feel the burn without ruining my posture. The reflective strips are a lifesaver in the London fog!
I use the 10kg for my HIIT sessions. It fits much tighter than my old PROIRON one, with way less bounce when I'm doing burpees. Really impressed with the build quality.
As a physiotherapist, I appreciate the even weight distribution of this vest. It's excellent for patients looking to increase bone density through weighted walking.
Great vest, very comfortable. My only slight gripe is that it gets quite warm on very hot days, though the mesh back definitely helps more than other brands I've tried.
Finally a weighted vest for running that doesn't chafe my neck. The neoprene is soft and the straps stay tight even during 10k runs. Good value for money.
The hi vis strips are incredibly bright. I feel much safer running on the roads at night. The 8kg is perfect for my treadmill incline walks.
Founded in the UK, FitnessVest was born from a simple observation: most weighted vests are either too bulky for running or lack the safety features needed for British winters. We set out to create a range of weighted vests that feel like a second skin, allowing for a full range of motion whether you're hitting the pavement or performing calisthenics in your living room.
Our commitment to quality means using breathable neoprene and reinforced stitching to ensure your vest stands up to the most intense HIIT sessions. We understand that fitness is a journey, which is why we offer progressive weight options from 5kg to 10kg to suit every level of strength and endurance.
Safety is at the heart of our design. With integrated reflective strips and a secure, balanced fit, FitnessVest ensures you remain visible during those early morning runs or late-night walks. We are proud to support the UK fitness community with gear that is as durable as it is functional.
