About Us
Built in a Garage. Forged Under Real Weight.
Onyx Weightlifting Co is a Santa Ana, California–based handcrafted leather weightlifting gear company specializing in Olympic weightlifting belts, low profile leather wrist wraps and lifting straps.
Established in 2016 and founded by Danny Ear, Onyx began in a small garage with a simple mission: build durable, purpose-driven weightlifting gear for athletes who take training seriously. Over the years, it has grown into a respected name in strength sports worldwide — without losing its independent roots.
This company wasn’t built in a corporate office. It was built in Southern California, under real weight, by lifters who understood what serious training demands.
Crafted for the Platform
Every product at Onyx Weightlifting Co is carefully designed and constructed with long-term durability, function, and clean aesthetics in mind. From handcrafted leather weightlifting belts to heavy-duty lifting straps and wrist wraps, each piece is made to perform on the competition platform and in daily training.
Onyx gear is trusted by Olympians, world champions, collegiate weightlifting teams, and strength clubs across the United States and internationally.
The company proudly serves as an Official Sponsor of USA Weightlifting, and its straps and wrist wraps are the Official Straps and Wrist Wraps of USA Weightlifting — a responsibility earned through consistent performance and reliability.
Built by Weightlifters
Everyone at Onyx Weightlifting Co trains.
The people designing, cutting, stitching, and shipping the gear understand heavy squats, missed cleans, chalked hands, and the discipline required to improve year after year. That firsthand experience shapes every design decision and ensures the products hold up when the weight gets serious.
This isn’t outsourced culture. It’s lived experience.
American Craftsmanship. Modern Performance.
Rooted in traditional leather craftsmanship and built in Santa Ana, California, Onyx Weightlifting Co blends heritage construction with modern athletic performance. Real materials. Honest construction. No shortcuts.
The goal isn’t trends.
It’s gear that lasts season after season.
By focusing on quality construction and strength-focused design, Onyx continues to serve the growing Olympic weightlifting and strength training community across the country and around the world.
Our Mission
To build handcrafted weightlifting gear that honors the heritage of strength sports while supporting the athletes who move it forward.
Onyx Weightlifting Co exists to strengthen the weightlifting community through disciplined craftsmanship, American-built work ethic, and respect for the process. Every belt cut, every strap stitched, every wrap pressed carries the same mindset as a heavy lift — focus, resilience, and commitment.
This brand was built under real weight.
And it stands with those who carry it.
