Our Story

Founded in 1988 by fitness enthusiast and entrepreneur David McCrane, Harbinger swiftly became the brand of choice for weight lifters and strength trainers worldwide. 

It began with an innovative Wrist-Stabilizing Glove. Originally intended to mitigate wrist injuries for skateboarders, McCrane quickly realized the benefit of his product for weight lifters. Teaming up with 8-time Mr. Olympia body builder Lee Haney, they pioneered Harbinger as the source for high quality, carefully engineered gloves, belts and strength training accessories.

Since then, Harbinger has expanded into weight lifting accessories, including wraps, straps and speed ropes. With proprietary technology and advanced design, Harbinger drives the category and continues to deliver new, innovative products.

Today, Harbinger is part of a 28 year old organization, Implus LLC. The Implus Fitness & Wellness Division manages category leading brands renowned for superior quality, innovative design and heritage. Implus proudly distributes in over 75,000 retail outlets across North America and in over 70 countries worldwide. Implus’ scale and reach helps make Harbinger products broadly available across the United States and internationally.
