Description
The Bodytone barbell pad is a high-density foam cushion that wraps the bar to improve comfort on squats, hip thrusts and any movement where the bar rests on the shoulders or hips. The velcro closure fits and removes in seconds on standard Olympic bars. Priced at 20 EUR excluding VAT.
Comfort that protects technique
On a loaded hip thrust or a long squat session, the direct pressure of the knurled bar on the neck or pelvis is often what ends the set — not the muscles being trained. The pad spreads that pressure across a wider surface, reducing localised discomfort so the lifter keeps position and completes the programmed volume. For coaches, that means cleaner technique on heavy sets and members who actually programme hip thrusts instead of avoiding them.
- High-density foam — effective pressure distribution under heavy loads
- Velcro closure: fitted and removed in seconds

- Serves squats, hip thrusts and good mornings alike
- Simple, economical addition to any free-weight zone
A shared accessory for the free-weight zone
In a commercial gym the pad lives on or beside the hip-thrust bench and rotates across members all day. The dense foam is chosen to keep its shape under that duty cycle rather than compressing flat after a few weeks, and the velcro wrap means it moves from bar to bar without tools. Facilities typically stock several so squat racks and hip-thrust stations each keep their own.

Frequently asked questions
Which exercises benefit most from the pad?
Loaded hip thrusts first — where bar pressure on the pelvis is the limiting factor — then back squats and good mornings for members who find direct bar contact on the neck uncomfortable, particularly on heavy loads or long sessions.
Does the pad move on the bar during a set?
No. The velcro closure wraps the pad tight around the bar, so it stays in place through the set and still removes in seconds when the bar returns to general use.
Can it be ordered in quantity for a facility?
Yes. Light In Fitness supplies free-weight accessories in volume with quantity discounts — one pad per squat and hip-thrust station is the practical rule. Quotes are free and returned within 24 hours.
