Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our critique methodology, our free tools and how we help you build a better home fitness system.

The Methodology

• ​Q: Why don’t you do hands-on “unboxing” videos?

• ​A: Most unboxings only show the machine on Day 1. We architect our reviews using long-term data, motor engineering specs and user sentiment from people who have owned the gear for 6+ months. We care about Day 300, not Day 1.

• ​Q: Can I request a critique for a specific machine?

• A: Absolutely. We prioritize equipment based on community demand. Contact us if there is a specific model you want us to “stress-test” through our data process.

The Tools & Trackers

• ​Q: Are the cardio trackers really free?

• ​A: Yes. All interactive tools and PDF trackers are free to use and download. They are funded by our advertising partners to ensure high-level fitness systems are accessible to everyone.

The Logistics (Ads & Links)

• ​Q: Why did a pop-up or ad appear while I was reading?

• ​A: To keep our deep-dive research and interactive tools 100% free, we use non-intrusive ad placements. We ensure every ad is easily dismissible so you can get back to your research quickly.
