We'd love to hear from you, whether it's a question about a product, a correction to one of our guides, or a suggestion for something we should review next.
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.
Corrections
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 If you find something in a review that's out of date or inaccurate, please tell us which page and what's changed, and we'll get it fixed.
A note on partnerships
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.
