Maximize Your CrossFit Training

Adding resistance to functional training builds strength, power, and endurance faster than bodyweight alone.

Essential Weighted Vests

Classic series is the go-to choice for adding resistance to any training routine, built for all fitness levels. Z-Fit™ series delivers a close-to-body fit with evenly distributed weight for superior comfort and freedom of movement. Performance series provides heavy, modular load for those ready to push their limits further. Looking to add more load? Pair with Zelus weighted belts and wrist weights to target your core and upper body for a complete resistance training setup.

BUILD STRENGTH

Added resistance forces your muscles to work harder on every rep, driving faster strength gains over time.

BOOST ENDURANCE

Training under load increases cardiovascular demand, so unweighted workouts feel more manageable as you progress.

INCREASE CALORIE BURN

More resistance means more energy output — keeping your metabolism elevated long after your workout ends.

How to Incorporate a Weighted Vest into Your CrossFit WODs

Weighted vests are a proven way to take your CrossFit performance to the next level. Adding resistance to your workouts increases intensity across every movement — burpees, box jumps, squats, and running — helping you build strength, speed, and endurance faster. Start by incorporating the vest into short, high-intensity WODs, keeping your focus on technique and form before increasing the load. As your body adapts, the added resistance becomes your baseline — making every unweighted session feel like a competitive edge.

Benefits of CrossFit Training with a Weighted Vest

Improves Explosive Power

Weighted functional movements like box jumps and burpees train your fast-twitch muscle fibers, building the explosive strength that carries over into every lift and sprint.

Accelerates Muscle Adaptation

Progressive resistance challenges your muscles beyond their comfort zone, triggering faster adaptation and breaking through training plateaus.

Enhances Mental Toughness

Training under added load builds the mental resilience to push harder when it counts — making every unweighted session feel like a competitive advantage.

How to Train Safely with a Weighted Vest for CrossFit

Use these tips to train safely and see results faster:

1. Start at 5–10% of Your Body Weight

The recommended starting point for high-intensity training — enough to challenge your output without compromising form or increasing injury risk.

2. Prioritize Form Before Load

Never add weight to a movement you can't perform cleanly without the vest. Technique first, resistance second.

3. Secure the Fit Before Every Session

A vest that shifts during dynamic movement creates imbalance and strain. Adjust straps so the vest sits flush against your body before you start.

4. Introduce It Gradually

Start by wearing the vest in one or two sessions per week, focusing on movements where you're most stable, then expand as your body adapts.
