How we research

Gym Attitude is a research site, not a test lab. We do not claim to have used, tested or lived with the products we cover. Every recommendation is based on published information, and we say where each figure comes from.

Where the data comes from

Amazon listings. Prices, stock, seller, product titles, listed dimensions, capacities and warranty text are pulled from Amazon's Creators API on the date shown on each page.
Manufacturers. Where a brand publishes a spec sheet, we use it and link to it.
Calculations. Some figures, such as the clear floor space a treadmill needs, are worked out from the listed size plus a published standard (for treadmills, the ASTM F2115 clear zone). These are labelled "calculated".

What we will not do

Invent specifications, prices, dimensions, load ratings or warranty terms. If we cannot confirm a figure, it is not published.
Invent star ratings, testing, long-term use or user quotes.
Recommend the expensive option when the cheaper one is the better buy for most people.

Space data

"Will it fit" is the real blocker for most home gym purchases, so every product we cover carries its footprint, ceiling requirement, clearance and load rating, with the source of each. Listing dimensions are sometimes package sizes or placeholders; when they do not make sense we leave them out rather than guess.

Money

We earn a commission when you buy through our Amazon links, at no extra cost to you. Brand-direct products that are not on Amazon are still recommended when they are the right answer, and we say so plainly. See our affiliate disclosure.
