This belt is the bee's knees. Given, I've only had it a week, and it needs some breaking in on the edges so it bends with me a bit easier (absolutely to be expected). The lever mechanism works beautifully and how nice it is to just be able to snap it on with a gentle tug and snap it off with a single finger(yeah, that's right. Just one). I haven't lifted with a belt in about ten years, but being mid 30s now doing heavier lifts beltless is not the smartest decision, and I've been feeling. After a bunch of research, Pioneer stood out for offering an adjustable lever, the thickness of the belt, and just feeling like a no bull kind of company. I've used it twice on deadlifts so far, and the amount I can use my legs and feel no tension in my lower back while weight moving like butter can only be explained by the feeling my back has a day after a heavy load.
This is my first belt so I may not be the most knowledgeable, but when I started asking lifters what they use, everyone recommended Pioneer. I love it so far and I’m glad I went with the single prong staggered holes. If I try other types in the future, they’ll be Pioneer too. The colors and options are great and communication along the way was nice. Royal blue- gorgeous!
I am so amped to have this belt. Arrived just in time for me to finally work up to my goals of 315 squat and 405 deads for reps. I feel so good and confident with the brace that this belt offers. By the way, Pioneer Fit offered me great service when the belt arrived and was too large. I must have measured myself wrong, but I did have to size down from medium to small. Now I feel great in it and I am so stoked to put some wear into this belt. I hope I never lose it. Best part is it’s black- Just like my cat! 🐈⬛
Finally received the belt after shipping problems and wow am I so happy with the quality! Nice and sturdy and built to last! Thank you so much! Will be continuing as a customer for future gym gear:)
This is my 2nd pioneer belt, 1st time with a custom belt. I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out!
I received the belt, tried it on and realized the 4” width was too wide for me. I can’t simply send it back and receive a 3” width belt without having to pay for shipping both ways.. Great belt but I can’t use it’s without hurting. I might as well sell this belt and buy from someone else at this point.
Mr. Hernandez,
I checked with our customer support team and it looks like they have been in contact with you. Please make sure to reach out if you need anything else.
Excellent company to purchase from! Item was well packaged and arrived safely and intact. Nothing broken. Fast shipping. My purchased item itself is fantastic.
The whole thing feels like it’s made well from the solid leather to the well crafted buckle. Immediate difference on lifts from all the nylon belts I’ve tried so far. Well worth it.
A nice mix of irreverent and inspirational ways to rep the dopest of belt brands
Decided to go with a 10mm suede belt since I'm a long ways away from putting up the weights where I'll need the extra rigidity. Glad I did because it saved me some money, didn't need any break-in time, and it's more than sturdy enough for my needs. Also went with the adjustable lever and I love it. I'm on the thinner side so to get the right fit just I often need to make smaller adjustments just due to my hydration level/water retention. I've used a standard belt before and while they work fine, it often felt difficult to get the fit I wanted. If it was just a touch too loose, the next notch often felt too tight.
My second Pioneer Custom Lever Belt. Beyond satisfied and the craftsmanship of their products is amazing. Special shout out goes to Pam from Customer Service. She is the best. Are you considering a powerlifting belt? Go Pioneer.
This belt is for our grandson who started powerlifting about 6 months ago. He’s 11 and set National records in Squatt Bemch and deadlift in his last meet. We are very proud of him grandparents.
My grandson loved the look , his high school team all thought the schools colors was right. The coaches checked it out also and liked how thick and strong it looked.
I ordered a new belt based off my current Pioneer belt, when it was delivered it was much bigger than my current one and offered no room for adjustment to fit tighter. Customer service was on it from my first email with no hesitation to ensure I received the correct belt. They communicated with me constantly until I received the belt that would meet my needs. On top of the great customer service, the belt is high quality as is expected from Pioneer
Excellent price and performance! They are stiff and tight, and will definitely give you a few extra kilos on your squats.
Without a doubt the BEST belts in the business!!!!
Highly recommend all Pioneer Products. I have about 10 baseball belts and 2 lifting belts!!!! All are top quality, well made, and last forever.
By far some of the best customer service as well you’ll find!!!!! Keep at it and staying on top of the game.
I have been using this belt now for years. This belt was delivered on April 15th 2022. This belt is still in excellent condition. I would definitely by this belt again but I don't think I would ever need to unless it was lost or stolen. It seems like this belt will last me forever. The hole pattern is a game changer. It seemed like I was always in between holes on the other leather belts I have used in the past. The nylon belts I used didn't provide enough support. This belt checks every box for me. If you don't have one yet just get one you will not be disappointed. I am still extremely satisfied with my purchase after all the years.
