About Us

I'm Matthew Coates, IFBB Pro, and I’ve spent years training and competing at the highest level. Over time, I’ve tested countless lifting accessories where some worked, some didn’t, and many just weren’t built to last. Which is why I created Anchor Grips as I wanted to bring to market lifting gear that I could stand behind 100%.

My goal with Anchor Grips is simple: to provide high-quality, durable, and comfortable lifting accessories that can withstand anything you throw at them. Whether you’re a beginner, a bodybuilder, a powerlifter, or a CrossFit athlete, these products are designed for anyone serious about training. That said, I made sure to use 

only premium materials, ensuring that every grip, strap, and accessory is built for performance, comfort, and longevity.

I know firsthand what it takes to push limits in the gym, and I wanted to create gear that helps you do the same. I can confidently say that the quality behind each Anchor Grips product will not disappoint.
