ZELUS Weighted Vest: Boost Your Workouts with Smart, Scalable Resistance

If you’re looking to level up your workouts without bulky equipment, the ZELUS Weighted Vest is a powerful and versatile training tool. Available in 6lb, 8lb, 12lb, 16lb, 20lb, 25lb, and 30lb options, this weight vest is designed to enhance strength training, running, fitness routines, muscle building, and weight loss—while keeping comfort and safety in mind.

Why Train with a Weighted Vest?

A weighted vest adds extra resistance to your bodyweight movements, forcing your muscles to work harder during everyday exercises. Unlike dumbbells or barbells, a vest distributes weight evenly across your torso, allowing for natural movement and hands-free training.

Whether you’re walking, running, lifting, or doing calisthenics, a weighted vest can help:

  • Increase workout intensity

  • Improve strength and endurance

  • Burn more calories

  • Build functional, real-world strength

Key Features of the ZELUS Weighted Vest

Multiple Weight Options for All Fitness Levels

The ZELUS Weighted Vest comes in a wide range of weights—from 6lb for beginners to 30lb for advanced athletes. This makes it easy to choose a vest that matches your current fitness level and gradually progress as you get stronger.

Comfortable & Secure Fit

Designed with comfort in mind, the vest fits snugly around the torso to reduce bouncing or shifting during movement. This allows you to focus on your workout instead of constantly adjusting your gear.

Reflective Stripe for Visibility

The built-in reflective stripe improves visibility in low-light conditions, making it a great option for outdoor workouts like early-morning or evening runs and walks.

Durable Construction

Built for repeated use, the ZELUS Weighted Vest is made to handle high-intensity workouts, strength sessions, and outdoor training without sacrificing comfort or performance.

How to Use the ZELUS Weighted Vest

Strength Training

Add the vest to exercises like:

  • Squats

  • Lunges

  • Push-ups

  • Pull-ups

  • Step-ups

The added resistance increases muscle engagement and helps promote strength and muscle development.

Running & Cardio

Wearing a weighted vest during running, walking, or stair climbing can increase cardiovascular demand and calorie burn. Start with lighter weights and focus on maintaining proper form.

Fitness & Conditioning

Perfect for:

  • HIIT workouts

  • Circuit training

  • Bodyweight workouts

  • Functional fitness routines

The vest enhances intensity without requiring extra equipment.

Weight Loss Support

By increasing workout difficulty, the ZELUS Weighted Vest can help you burn more calories during your regular fitness routine. Combined with consistent training and proper nutrition, it can support weight-management goals.

Choosing the Right Weight

  • 6lb–8lb: Beginners, walking, light cardio

  • 12lb–16lb: General fitness, strength training, conditioning

  • 20lb–25lb: Advanced training, muscle building

  • 30lb: Experienced athletes and high-intensity workouts

Starting lighter and progressing gradually helps reduce injury risk and improves long-term results.
