  • Someone in the garage gym space recently made a huge deal out of this being a competition. I couldn't disagree more or more vehemently. The more we support each other, the more everyone grows.
    This week's 5 minute Friday is dedicated to the small micropeneurs in the home and garage gym space who are making some of the best gear you've never heard of. Share this video with everyone you know who should know about these guys!

    Darko, MicroGainz, Mutant Metals, BridgeBuilt, Arm Assassin, Freedom Strength, Swing Sesh, and Havak Designs have been suggested for future videos. Who else did I miss?

    JD Gym Equipped got in trouble a few years ago for stealing a partner’s idea for his own financial gain and it took a while for me personally to look past that. At the end of the day, that was just for one product and he’s done a lot more since then so I’ll give him props. I hope Jesse’s learned from it and only does business the right way moving forward.

    I got a Beltfed belt that I won in a contest.
    When I was giving him the details I wanted on the belt and he stopped me and said you won 3rd place so you only get our basic plain belt with no customization.
    I got a one color belt with no frills and it's nice belt but I recommend if you get one from Beltfed to get the upper level offers that are in the three or four hundred dollar range to get customizations.
    I appreciate a free belt, I do but it's not something I would have bought, it's just a black belt hanging on my wall.
    I admit I was excited when I won it but when I found it was just a plain belt that I could get from anywhere I was not excited anymore.
    I do appreciate a free belt though, I have an extra one on the wall

      Oh Yeah, Kris' wife does Amazing work, she is an artist.
      Only bad thing with Beltfed is the wait time but it is something they can't help because as you said there is only two of them.
      I figured they could send me the basic belt as there was no customization but no, I had to wait about 4 months to get it.
      Then they sent me the wrong belt, every detail was wrong. I figured I was stuck with it since I won it and didn't pay for it but Kris made it right, he sent me the belt and said I could keep the wrong belt, I didn't do that, I sent the wrong one back and figured they could use it for their displays.
      The sent the correct belt out right away, I got it within 2 weeks.
      They will work with you and make you satisfied!!!!
