Our FAQs

Got Questions? We've Got Answers

Do brands pay for reviews?
We receive press samples from some brands, which we always disclose. No payment is ever made for favorable coverage, and our ratings are based entirely on performance data.
How long do you test products before reviewing?
A minimum of four weeks for wearables and two weeks for equipment. Complex tech like GPS watches typically gets eight to twelve weeks of testing.
Which is better, Whoop or Garmin?
Read our full comparison — but the short answer is Whoop for recovery and readiness focus, Garmin for GPS sport training and multi-sport athletes.
Are home gym guides updated for current prices?
Yes. All home gym budget guides are reviewed quarterly and updated when significant price changes occur or when better alternatives become available.
