Why Your Gym Bag Needs an Advanced Dip Belt

Want to get more from your bodyweight training? Maybe you’ve mastered strict pull-ups or dips are getting easy. Here’s one bit of kit that will open up a world of possibilities. The dip belt. But this isn’t just a dipping belt – it’s a 4-in-1 belt for the total training package!

Here’s why this one piece of equipment deserves a spot in your gym bag.

What Is a 4-in-1 Dipping Belt?

A traditional dipping belt for the gym is a waist belt with a chain that attaches to weight plates. People tend to use them for pull ups, chin ups, dip, and maybe squats (although organising a belt squat set up is a mission!)

The Gravity Fitness 4-In-1 Dipping Belt takes the original dipping belt concept and runs with it. Our version is a versatile tool that works as a dip belt, weightlifting belt, resistance band anchor, and sled harness. And unlike many regular dipping belts, it’s adjustable so you can keep it around your waist instead of dealing with it pulling down on your hip bones.

What's the Point of Wearing a Dip Belt?

Doing gym exercises in a dipping belt looks cool, but why do people use them? The main one is progression. Once you can bang out 10+ dips or pull-ups, you need to change a variable. Adjusting tempo is pretty easy, but adding weight requires a belt.

Adding external load helps you:

• Progress steadily by adding small weight increments
• Train in lower rep ranges for strength development
• Keep bodyweight movements challenging as you get stronger

Why Do People Use Dip Belts in the Gym?

The reality is that most people hit a plateau with bodyweight exercises. A dipping belt bridges the gap between bodyweight training and barbell work, giving you a way to progressively overload movements.

You'll see people using dipping belts for weighted dips, pull-ups, and chin-ups. But experienced athletes know you can use a good dip belt for more. Our 4-in-1 dipping belt allows you to add weight to bodyweight exercises, attach resistance bands, do sled work – and have a decent belt for barbell work. One belt to rule them all!

What Can the Gravity Fitness Dipping Belt Do?

Dipping belt - attach weight plates for weighted dips, pull-ups, etc.
Resistance band anchor - hook up resistance bands for resistance training.
Sled harness – for forwards and backwards sled dragging and pulling.
Lifting belt – use as your regular belt for heavy lifts.

All for the price – and bag space – of one belt.

Why Is a 4-in-1 Different to a Regular Dipping Belt?

Most dipping belts are just a basic belt with a chain that hangs down. They do the job, but they're not particularly comfortable and they're limited in what they can do. Many aren’t even adjustable to your waist, which means the belt ends up pulling down on your hip bones once the weight is on. Our 4-in-1 belt is different:

Comfortable - doesn’t pull on your hips.
Adjustable - fits waist sizes 30-36 inches.
Versatile - 4 functions for real value.
Durable - nylon with reinforced stitching.

How to Use the Gravity Fitness 4-in-1 Dipping Belt

Getting the most out of this belt means understanding all four functions:

As a dip belt - attach weight plates to the front attachment point, and do weighted dips, pull-ups, and other bodyweight movements.

With resistance bands - attach bands and use your body as the anchor. Great for banded squats, lunges, or upper body exercises with variable resistance.

For sled work, attach the belt to a sled or prowler and use it for forwards or backwards exercises. The belt distributes the load across your core.

As a lifting belt - wear it for support during squats, deadlifts, overhead exercises – anything you’d normally wear a belt for.

5 Ways the Gravity Fitness Dipping Belt Will Transform Your Training

1. Progressive overload - add weight in small increments to keep progressing bodyweight movements.

2. Strength rep ranges – by adding weight you can work in the 3-6 rep range for bodyweight exercises.

3. Save space and money – 4 belts in one means less clutter in your gym bag.

4. Variety without complexity – change up familiar exercises with different resistance, rep ranges, or loading patterns.

5. Conditioning options – get involved with sled training to build work capacity.
