Paul Kendrick

Paul Kendrick has spent over fifteen years chasing cardio fitness, first as a club runner and triathlete and later as someone who does most of his training at home. He has logged thousands of kilometres on treadmills, exercise bikes, rowers and cross trainers, which gives him a good nose for which machines feel right and which fall apart after a hard winter of use.

He leads cardio coverage at Best Exercise, where he cares about the things that decide whether a machine gets used or gathers dust: ride feel, noise, build quality, console accuracy and how much space it really needs. He cross-checks every recommendation against owner feedback, manufacturer specs and independent testing.

Paul's rule is simple. The best cardio machine is the one you will actually get on, so value, reliability and a comfortable experience matter more to him than a flashy spec sheet.
