We all love small businesses, but what better than one that can help ensure you reach your fitness goals and top shape?
Now that's a small business we want to get behind.
Let's go. Here are ten of our favorite small businesses in the industry.
Darko Lifts
Darko Lifts creates quite a few different pieces of gym equipment. However, the one that really caught our eye is the barbell anchor.
It essentially acts like a J-hook but at the top of your power rack.
It allows for super easy and out-of-the-way storage for gym owners looking to save space with extra barbells.
BridgeBuilt
This is an innovative fitness equipment company.
They make a pretty cool squat stand.
What makes the difference, is that it is sturdy enough to handle your biggest lifts, can collapse to 1/4 the size, and can even roll on wheels.
BAMF Hammer
You want to know why Thor is so strong - easy, it's the hammer.
Well, now's your chance. With BAMF Hammer, you can buy a full-size Thor-like hammer weighing in at 10, 20, or 40 lbs.
This thing is no joke.
KlevaBuilt
You've probably seen the Genesis Jack before.
No more wiggling or struggling to take the weights off the bar after a huge deadlift or clean.
With the Genesis Jack, you can quickly and easily slide the plates off - leaving more energy and focus for your next set.
Mutant Metals
Mutant Metals prides itself on home and garage fitness equipment.
They are family-owned and operated. One quality piece of equipment they offer is an adjustable dip bar, with three different settings depending on your body size and what muscle groups you want to target.
Barbell Rescue
With all your blood, sweat, and tears in the gym, you need a company that can help you clean up.
The solution's here - Barbell Rescue.
It wraps around the barbell and uses nylon bristles to get an all-around clean.
WeightItOut
Tired of wasting space on thick plates?
WeightItOut has the solution.
Their bumper plates are roughly 1/3rd the size of traditional bumper plates - but weigh the same!
They also make steel and cast iron plates as well.
Executive Fit
Executive Fit makes quality deadlift platforms, boxes, and rack headers.
Their deadlift platforms can be assembled and disassembled in less than 2 minutes.
MicroGainz
PRs can be hard.
MicroGainz can help you keep the momentum.
With their tiny plates, you can add 0.25 to 2.5 pounds to your dumbbells or barbell.
Black Widow Training Gear
Black Widow Training Gear is proud to be made in the USA.
They offer a whole host of specialty strength equipment.
One cool piece of fitness equipment worth noting - the T-Bar landmine attachment.
