Frequently Asked Questions

There are multiple types of weight belts. Soft belts are generally designed with a velcro strap and made with some sort of insert material. Leather belts are made out of a thick oz of leather (generally 10-13+oz), and they close using belt loops and a buckle. A hybrid belt combines both soft belt and leather belt features. BLC belts are designed to have a soft belt exterior with a leather insert.

1. The quality of the materials. Every belt is hand crafted by Steph herself using high quality materials. 2. The ability to customize the exterior with ANY fabric of your choice as well as the option of embroidery. 3. The unique construction of the belt which provides the perfect amount of stiffness and support, as well as the flexibility of preferred tightness around the waist.

Steph was born raised on the East Coast in the metropolitan area. She lived between New York and New Jersey for the first 30 years of her life. Brooklyn is the city that changed her life. It was the first city where she leased her own apartment without her father cosigning on the lease. She went from Corporate America where she worked a 9-5 sales executive job in the fashion industry. Next she moved into a commission based fitness position, and eventually spread her wings to owning a full fledged self-employed fitness business. She found CrossFit at Bushwick CrossFit where the owner took her in from athlete to coach. At Bushwick CrossFit she found her passion for weightlifting through her friend and colleague. She then began coaching and specializing in weightlifting herself. Steph hustled daily working multiple jobs to fuel her passions - it was a HUSTLE. Brooklyn broke her, but Brooklyn made her. Without that city chewing her up and spitting her out she would never be the person she is today. So to commemorate the place the shaped her, she decided to name the company after the very place that ignited her passions.

BLC belts are made with high quality materials including polypropylene and nylon. These materials are used on the trims, straps, and thread which provide durability and sweat wicking features. The 3 inch strap closure with secure velcro provides additional support to the core and provides security when lifting. Some companies use a 2 inch strap, which works, but does not offer optimal support. General sizing accommodates most sizes. If you are smaller or larger than the standard sizes, a custom sized belt can be made for you! Sizing accommodates for no more than a 3 inch gap, but also accommodates for a 3 inch overlap if you prefer an overlap in your belt closure. The tab at the end of the velcro strap (near the logo patch) provides easy access to disengaging the velcro. The belt buckles do not intergrate the "WOD Clamp" as featured on Schiek belts. It is not a neccessary feature - so long as the velcro strap is secure. All belts are hand-sewn on a commercial grade sewing machine.

Embroidery MUST be done before assembly of the belt. Choose from font options below.
