The best way to reach us is by email: hello@bestexercise.co.uk
We read everything and aim to reply within a few working days.
Fitness products change. Specs get revised, models get discontinued, prices move. If you find something in a review that's out of date or inaccurate, please tell us which page and what's changed, and we'll get it fixed.
We keep our reviews independent. We're always happy to be sent products to test, but being sent something never guarantees a positive review or a place in our rankings, and we'll always disclose it.
