The Abs Company Belt Squat™: Best Belt Squat for Home Gym Strength

The Abs Company Belt Squat™ is a plate-loaded, commercial-grade squat machine sold by Hamilton Home Fitness for $2,624. It loads 22 lb to 880 lb through a supportive hip belt instead of the shoulders, and it suits home gym owners and training facilities that want heavy leg work without a barbell on the back.

Is it the best belt squat for a home gym?

Short answer: yes, if you have the floor to give and you train seriously enough to justify a commercial machine. The best belt squat for home gym use is the one you can leave standing and load heavy, and that describes this one. At $2,624 it costs what commercial equipment costs, so it earns its place with people who train legs hard every week.

The design is why people come looking. The Abs Company states the Belt Squat™ improves practically all lower body muscle groups without placing compressive force onto the spine, shifting the load off the spine and onto the hips and legs. Quads, glutes, and hamstrings do the work while your shoulders stay free, which is why it sits at the heavier end of our commercial squat machines.

Is a belt squat as good as a back squat? For loading the legs, close to it. You give up the bracing and trunk demand of a barbell, and you gain the ability to keep squatting in weeks when your back has already taken a beating. Most lifters run both rather than picking one.

Space, ceiling height, and delivery

Measure the room before you order. Assembled, the machine takes 74 in x 50 in x 45 in (188 cm x 127 cm x 115 cm)—roughly 26 square feet of permanent floor, because nothing folds away. The height is the quiet win: at 45 in, it clears the low ceilings and joists that stop a power rack from going into a basement.

Delivery is where buyers get caught out. Shipping dimensions are 68"L x 30"W x 22"H, 288 lb (173 cm x 76 cm x 56 cm), and 130 kg. That 30 in crate slides through a standard 32 in interior door, but 288 lb arrives by freight and needs a second person and a clear path to the room.

Add it to your cart at $2,624.00, or call the Hamilton Home Fitness team first if you want freight and placement sorted before you commit.

Full specifications

Who it suits, who should skip it

Buy it if:

• You train legs hard two to four times weekly
• You want to load off the shoulders and spine
• You can give up 26 sq ft permanently
• You already own weight plates

Think twice if:

• You need gear that folds or stores away
• Your budget sits closer to a few hundred
• You have no freight access or lifting help

Training around a diagnosed back problem? Speak to a qualified professional before loading any squat pattern, machine, or barbell. And if price is the only blocker, the portable belt squat station in our home workout machines covers the same movement for a fraction of the outlay.

Belt Squat questions answered

What plates does the Belt Squat take?
It is listed as plate loaded, but the plate hole size is not published on this listing. Check it against the plates you own before ordering, and the team can confirm.

What warranty comes with it?
Warranty terms are not published here. The Abs Company equipment is sold on a private invoice, so ask for coverage in writing before the order goes through.

Does it arrive assembled?
Assembly terms are not listed for this model. The crate ships at 288 lb, so plan for freight delivery, a helping hand, and a clear route to the training space.

Does the belt squat build glutes?
It trains them alongside the quads and hamstrings, since the hips drive the movement. A barbell back squat still pulls in more glute and trunk work, which is why many lifters keep both.

Can a beginner use this machine?
Yes. The range opens at 22 lb, so a newer lifter can learn the pattern light, and the same machine still takes 880 lb years later.
