★★★★★ Ironwear Fitness not only made the best wearable weights but they also have spectacular customer service. I have been using Ironwear Fitness products for nearly a decade and is the only weight training system I use. My first purchase, the Hulk Max 24 Club Series, started showing signs of wear after almost ten years of regular hard use and I was considering having them replaced.
Amazingly, when I reached out to Arnold about this issue he not only immediately honored the lifetime warranty but he also had a set custom made out of the Club material- a slight upgrade over the Champion Series- as they were currently out of stock. They shipped my new weights free of charge and they arrived promptly at my home.
I am so impressed by this company that this is the second time I am taking the time to write a testimonial, something I have not done for any other product. Ironwear Fitness is truly extraordinary, they make best in class products and stand behind them with the best customer care. Simply put, if you like fitness and have not tried Ironwear Fitness then you should.
Thanks to the people at Ironwear Fitness for making such great life changing products, making them in the U.S.A., and standing by them with such wonderful customer support and staff.
A lifelong customer,
Zachary
★★★★★ Ironwear Fitness products are by far the best wearable weight systems available. I am 28 years old and two years ago I purchased the “Hulk Max 24 Club” system and it
has since transformed my fitness level and workout routine.
I am not a professional trainer, coach, or athlete- just an average guy that enjoys exercise and being in shape.
As a teenager I
was active in sports, enjoyed hiking
and was an avid weightlifter, spending an hour in the gym at
least four days a
week. I stopped going to the gym
when I
left for college because I no longer had my friends as
workout partners. I continued to
go hiking and jogging
throughout the years and eventually became an avid runner,
often jogging five
times a week for hours. I also
started
to get interested in rock climbing.
At the age of 26,
however, I was living in Brooklyn
working full-time and going to school.
I
no longer had the time to go distance running.
Moreover, I was noticing that, while I was in
relatively good shape, I
was getting thin and gaunt. My
arms
especially had lost most of the strength, size and tone they
once had. Those infrequent times
when I could go hiking,
I noticed the weight of my pack more and more and was
struggling when I was
fortunate enough to do a little rock climbing.
I still did not have a friend nearby who could be a
workout partner, let
alone the time or money to devote to going to the gym
regularly, but I
desperately wanted to get back into the shape I remembered
being in during my
younger years. That is when I
had the
idea of jogging with weights.
I started looking
online for wrist weights and ankle
weights. I saw that many of the
products
available were fairly expensive and since money was tight I
decided I would
take my time to find exactly what would work best. I do not mind paying a little more if
I get a
truly quality product that will stand the test of time and
is exactly what I am
looking for. I knew I wanted
something
that would keep my hands free but also wanted something very
durable, comfortable
enough to wear for extended periods of time and heavy enough
to actually build
muscle rather than simply sculpt or tone.
After a thorough
review, I chose the “Hulk Max 24
Club” system by Ironwear Fitness.
There
were cheaper wrist and ankle weights available but I could
tell that they were
far inferior.
Online reviews of
the other products frequently
mentioned several problems relating to durability, comfort
and
adjustability. One common
problem was
the durability of the weight bags that could easily tear and
spill the
sand-like material inside, sometimes staining clothing. Many of these other soft weights also
had
problems of moving during exercise and the outside material
chaffing the skin. Moreover, the
heaviest hand or wrist weights
I could find offered by other companies were only adjustable
up to six pounds
or became so bulky that they looked ridiculous and obviously
would not be practical
for jogging.
Ironwear Fitness
products by comparison were far
more professional. I could tell
the
company knew exactly what I was looking for just by browsing
the Ironwear
Fitness website. They basically
were
advertising exactly what I had pictured in my mind. They had specifically designed their
weight
systems to counter the problems of other wearable
weights. The outer material is
constructed of highly
durable weather-resistant material.
The
inner weights are heavy and flexible but solid so they are
less bulky and
cannot break like other products.
The
shape of the shells are ergonomic and use large Velcro
straps so they will not
shift during exercise and yet are easy to put on and take
off. Moreover, the “Hulk Max
24 Club” is designed
such that each hand can be easily adjusted up to 12 pounds
or disassembled so
that each hand has 7 pounds and the remaining 10 pounds can
be used as a weight
belt or two 5 pound ankle weights.
I purchased the
“Hulk Max 24 Club” system and could
not be more pleased. The product
was
exactly as described and is one of the best purchases I have
ever made.
The first time I
used the weights I wore them as two
7 pound hand weights and the 10 pound waist belt. I started jogging around the 3.5 mile
park
trail and both the hand weights and waist belt were
comfortable and snug
without moving or chaffing. My
hands
were still free to use my mp3 player or adjust my
backpack. A little less than
halfway around the trail I
could no longer keep my arms up and realized I would have to
work my way up to
7 pounds on each hand. I stopped
and
quickly removed four of the ½ pound weight inserts from
each hand to bring them
down to 5 pounds each. At the
end of my
half hour jog I was totally spent.
My
arms and legs both felt like I had been hitting the gym hard
and it was a few
days before they had recovered to the point where I could go
again.
After a few short
weeks I noticed my arms and legs
were much more solid and defined than they had been. I was then able to increase the hand
weights
back up to 7 pounds each, only having to relax them a couple
of times during my
run. I would try to go for a run
about
three or four times a week and in a couple of months I was
in the best shape of
my life. I also started using
the
weights like more traditional dumbbells.
The range of motion and ability to have the hands
free makes the “Hulk
Max 24” system ideal for all kinds exercise routines from
tricep extensions to
chest flyes and even leg-raises for the abs by transforming
the waist belt into
ankle weights.
Jogging with
these weights provides a workout that
is the perfect combination of cardiovascular and strength
training. With only 3-4
half-hour workouts a week I
have now not only managed to gain back the size in my arms I
had lost but my
legs are ripped and I have dramatically improved my
cardiovascular fitness. One of
the best aspects of this type of
training is that it balanced muscle building because you
work using your body’s
natural movements. Hiking, even
with a
heavy oversized pack, is a breeze and rock-climbing is
easier than ever. Now when I go
distance running and leave the
weights behind it is almost like I am not running at
all.
In fact, I am now
at the point where I want to start
adding more weight to my hands but do not want to get rid of
the 10 pound
weight belt- I just want more weight- so I plan on
purchasing the “Club Iron
Belt” for an upgrade. This
time, there
was no question what company I would purchase from- Ironwear
Fitness really
does produce the “World’s Best Fitness Products” as
they claim. It is no wonder that
police, firefighters, and
sports teams buy these products for training, the quality
and results really
are amazing. My Ironwear Fitness
gear is
still in excellent condition with only slight wear, purely
cosmetic, around the
thumb holes. I look forward to
many more
years using this equipment and will continue to turn to
Ironwear Fitness to
increase my weight set and improve my fitness.
Thank you Ironwear Fitness for creating such amazing
products.
HULK MAX 24 System™ (Adjustable Hand Irons / Belt / Ankle Weights™) Champion Series 3 to 12 pound per hand weights (6 to 24 lb. per pair), 1-10 lb. belt, 1-5 lb. ankle weight system.
HULK MAX™ System™ is IRONWEAR ™’s most advanced and challenging heavy weight system. The patented HULK MAX™ System combines all the best features of Hand Irons™, Wrist Irons™, and Iron Belt™.
HULK MAX™ System can be assembled to form HULK Hand Irons™ 7.5 – 12 lb. each (15 – 24 lbs per pair), the heaviest hand wrist weight system available. Or the HULK MAX™ System can be separated into the 3-7 lb. adjustable Hand-Wrist Irons™
HWIO70A
and the adjustable 1-10lb Iron Belt™
IB100A
.
HULK MAX™ System lets you quickly position the weight in different locations to work or rest different muscle groups. For example you can start off with all 24 lbs. on the arms and then quickly switch to 14 pounds on the arms and 10 pounds on the ankles. Then you can switch the 10 pounds to your waist to give your arms and legs a break, all the while you are still benefiting from carrying the additional weight.
HULK MAX™ System is complete and includes enough weight for the most advanced pro athlete, but can be loaded to match your level of fitness. Start up low and as you advance you can keep adding the weights. Another great thing about the system is that you can use the Iron Belt™ to hold extra weights so that you can add or remove the weights from the Hand-Wrist Irons™ while you are out training or just walking.
HULK MAX™ System comes with 36 – ½ lb. Flex-metal™ inserts and two 3 pound sections of IRONWEAR ™’s Flex-metal™ sculpted to the curves of the right and left hand. Together the system totals 24 pounds, that is more than most heavy weighted vests.

With all 8 weights installed each hand, the weight is 7 pounds. With the second 5lb layer laced into on to the first the total weight can be taken to 12 pounds per hand.
HULK MAX™ System includes IRONWEAR ™’s unique patented
Iron Belt™ which has 10 pockets that will accept two ½ lb weights per pocket for a maximum of 10 lbs. The system can also be separated into two 5 lb ankle, wrist or thigh weights.
