Our writers

Best Exercise is written by a small team of fitness enthusiasts and coaches who train at home and test kit for a living. Each writer owns a specialism, from cardio machines and home gym equipment to nutrition and recovery, and every recommendation is researched independently. We are funded by affiliate commissions but never led by them.

How we research and review

Researched, not guessed

Every recommendation is built from owner reviews, manufacturer specs and independent expert testing, cross-checked across the market.

Honest about trade-offs

We list the downsides as plainly as the strengths. A review that can't say what's wrong with a product isn't a review.

Independent rankings

We're funded by affiliate commissions but never led by them. No product earns a better place for paying more.

Kept up to date

Fitness kit changes. We revisit guides as models are revised, discontinued or replaced, and date every update.
