The SteelFit Difference

Smoother, Firmer, More Toned Looking Skin

Abs of Steel combines targeted skin-firming ingredients with a warming formula to help the skin around your abdomen look smoother, firmer, and more toned.

01

Visibly Smooths & Tightens the Skin

Abs of Steel® helps reduce the appearance of stubborn fat and bring out natural muscle tone for a more sculpted, confident look when combined with proper diet and training.

02

Non-Greasy, Thermogenic Formula

This fast-absorbing hot cream activates with a gentle warming sensation that lets you know it’s working. When absorbed through the skin, caffeine can break down the stubborn fat without the side effects of drinking caffeine — no jitters, no tolerance buildup, no sleep disruption.

03

Clinically Studied Ingredients

In a study where people applied 5% CoAxel twice daily for 28 days, 50% more subcutaneous fat was released, and hypodermis thickness decreased by 8.2%.*

What's inside

Ingredient breakdown.

Every key ingredient and the job it does.

01

CoAxel

CoAxel is a patented complex of L-Carnitine, Caffeine, and Coenzyme A designed to help reduce the appearance of fat and improve skin tone. It works to stimulate lipolysis, the natural process of breaking down stored fat, while firming and tightening the skin for a more defined, sculpted look.

02

Coenzyme A + L-Carnitine

This combination works synergistically to help the body convert stored fat into usable energy. In topical form, it supports the breakdown of fatty acids beneath the skin, helping to improve firmness and enhance the look of a more sculpted midsection.

03

Caffeine

Caffeine is a natural stimulant that helps increase circulation and support the breakdown of stored fat beneath the skin’s surface. When applied topically, it can help tighten and firm the appearance of the skin, giving it a smoother and more toned look. It’s a key ingredient in targeted firming products because it delivers fast-acting, visible results.

04

Bupleurum Root

Bupleurum Root is a botanical extract traditionally used for its stimulating and skin-firming properties. When applied topically, it can help support the appearance of tighter, more defined skin.

A note from Rob

Why we made Abs of Steel.

This is one of the first products I ever created, and I still use it daily. It was built to give people like us that extra edge when consistency meets real effort. Because sometimes, seeing a little more definition or feeling a little more confident is exactly the push we need to keep going. If you’re still showing up, still working toward your goals, then Abs of Steel® was made for you.

Questions, answered.

Does Abs of Steel actually work?

When designing SteelFit topical creams, we use only premium ingredients that have research showing up their effectiveness, in the dosages backed by those studies. In the case of Abs of Steel, the main ingredient CoAxel has been shown in human studies to help release significantly more subcutaneous fat and decrease hypodermis thickness.

Why does Abs of Steel tingle and burn?

Abs of Steel contains heat-generating compounds to help the active ingredients penetrate deeply into the hypodermis and target your existing body fat. Many people also find this helps create a “mind-muscle connection” that is helpful during ab-focused workouts. Don’t worry: this sensation is temporary and harmless!

When Should I Apply Abs of Steel?

For best results, we recommend applying Abs of Steel twice per day for at least 4 weeks. Many customers tell us they prefer to apply once before a workout, and then again before bed.

Does Abs of Steel work without a waist trimmer?

Yes, Abs of Steel’s active ingredients work without having to wear a waist trimmer. But wearing a trimmer will increase circulation and body heat around your core, helping Abs of Steel penetrate deeper into the sub-dermal layer.

Do I have to have a low body fat percentage?

No! Abs of Steel can help you slim down and see visible proof of your progress at every stage in your fitness journey.

Will it my stain clothes or workout gear?

No! Abs of Steel is a non-greasy formula that won't stain or ruin your favorite workout clothes.

Reviews SummaryAI-generated from verified reviews

Customers say this cream creates a warming sensation when applied before workouts. Many reviews mention increased sweating during exercise, especially when used with a waist trainer. While most users report positive experiences with skin tightness and muscle definition, some note mixed results or no noticeable changes. Frequent comments address the mild scent and smooth application. Reviews indicate varying experiences with the warming effect - some feel it strongly, others barely notice it.
