FAQs – Quick Locking Nylon Gym Belts
How do I use the quick locking mechanism?
What is “hook and loop” fabric?
Hook-and-loop is a two-part fastening system where one side has tiny plastic hooks and the other has soft nylon loops that catch the hooks.
This type of closure is often associated with VELCRO® Brand fasteners, which helped popularize the technology. VELCRO® is a registered trademark of Velcro IP Holdings LLC and is not affiliated with Gymreapers.
What’s the difference between a quick locking belt and a lever belt?
Lever belts offer a fixed, repeatable fit, while quick locking belts are fully adjustable with every use.
When is a quick locking belt better than a lever belt?
If you train across different movements or prefer flexibility, the quick locking design gives you instant control over tightness and comfort.
What size quick-locking gym belt should I get?
Measure your waistline around your navel (not your hips). Check the Gymreapers sizing charts included on the product pages to find your perfect fit. If you are in between sizes, we recommend sizing UP if you’re looking to bulk up in the future and to size DOWN if you’re looking to cut weight.
