in Fitness and Exercise
I was looking to buy a fitness belt to carry my phone in while I go on my walks so that I am hands free and so that it is in a more safe place.
I am looking to find one that stays in place and doesn't bounce up and down when you run or walk.

What fitness belt do you recommend and why?
I attached an image of a type that I am looking for.

Thank you in advance
Michelle

    I have a couple but the one pictured looks like the Flip Belt that I have. It can hold quite a bit of stuff and you don't really notice it's there.

    Don't forget to tie your shirt in a knot so everyone can see how cute your belt is. :smile:

    I have one of those FlipBelts. Actually I have 3 different colored ones because I love them.

    I have a (knock off) flip belt, holds my iPhone 6+ in its case (pretty huge) and house keys nice and snugly. Doesn't bounce around at all when running and is very comfortable.

    I found all of these I've tried to be really uncomfortable and doesn't stay put?
    I've got fairly large arms though so maybe it's my shape as I see plenty of people using them.

    I was looking at the flip belts but I wondered if they bounced around? Also doesn't look like the pockets are securely shut, any issues with that?
    Spike_G, what was the name of the knock off one?

    No bounce, and no problems with losing stuff. It's tight enough that everything within it stays put.

    ETA: I'm pretty sure they have ones with zippers now, too.

    Spike_G, I agree I don't care for the arm band ones either and they shapes and sizes of phones change too often that you would have to buy a new one every time you get a new phone. I appreciate the suggestion though cwolfman13.

    I use the BeSportWise running belt, and I really like it. It's like a mini fanny pack, but it doesn't move at ALL. Zippered pockets, plus it fits my big ol' Samsung phone. (It also says it will fit an iPhone 6)

    It was branded as Topwise outdoor sports waist pack on eBay. About £6 posted (~$8)

    Fit is important as they need to be quite snug but certainly doesn't bounce around with my huge phone in it.

    The belt flips over so the openings are against the skin but tbh they grip the contents which go in quite a way so falling out is not a problem.

    I keep my phone in my pants pocket, or leave it home. All my favorite exercise pants have at least one zippered pocket for important stuff I don't want to lose.

    I also have and love a Flipbelt. It's comfortable, secure, and fits my largeish phone, keys, cash, and gels/blocks for long runs. I wear mine fairly low on my hips and don't even notice it's there, unlike when I tried to carry stuff in my pockets.

    another vote for the flip belt. I have one, and it's very secure. After putting your stuff in it you are supposed to flip it over so the openings are against your body and nothing can fall out.

    I'm a Fitletic fan myself. I distance run and use it to carry water, gels, phone, other essentials. It doesn't bounce around either if you're looking for something to hold water bottles.

    SPIbelt, it has a water bottle you can get to attach to it too. I've tried other belts but this one is amazing, it doesn't bounce or move, and I hardly know I'm wearing it.

    Flipbelt 100%. So comfortable that you forget you are even wearing it. Holds my iPhone 6, car keys, dog poop bags, money/credit card, etc perfectly and have never had an issue with anything falling out of it (and that is without flipping the belt so that the openings are against my body.
