The subject of this site, and how it is funded
StrengthVerdict is an independent editorial site about home training equipment — adjustable dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells, weight benches, squat and power racks, pull-up bars and dip stations, lat pulldown and cable stations, leg presses and back extension benches — the cardio machines beside them: treadmills, rowing machines, cross trainers, steppers and fitness trampolines — the functional gear: suspension trainers, power bags, battle ropes, plyo boxes, weighted vests, medicine and exercise balls and balance boards — and the accessories that wear out around all of it: weight plates and collars, resistance bands and chest expanders, dumbbell racks and gym flooring, lifting belts, straps, wrist wraps, training gloves, grip trainers and cable attachments, lifting chalk, skipping ropes, agility ladders, workout timers, yoga mats and blocks, foam rollers, pilates rings, massage guns and massage balls. It does not cover exercise bikes and turbo trainers, motorcycle gear and workshop parts, hiking packs and head torches, or portable power stations and solar panels, all of which are covered elsewhere; nor supplements or anything eaten or drunk, nor training programmes, nor coaching. Masses and load ratings, bore diameters, stride lengths, flywheel masses, belt sizes, resistance figures, thicknesses, densities, hole spacings, pulley ratios, dimensions and quoted noise levels published by manufacturers are reported as such, with their unit written as published, with their source named, and never derived by us. In particular, a published load and a guarantee are reported as the two distinct things they are, and one is never presented as the other — a load rating recording what a maker put in writing, rather than undertaking anything about a particular failed repetition. Nothing here replaces a manufacturer's own instructions, the markings on a product, or the rules of the country you are in — and two statements are repeated on every page that touches them: a load rating is a published figure about a product and is never presented here as advice about what a body should lift; and no rack, no safety catch, no belt and no strap is described on this site as making anything safe. It is funded by Amazon affiliate links: a purchase made after following one of our links may earn us a commission, at no additional cost to you. How that works, and what stops it from steering our verdicts, is set out on the affiliate disclosure page.
Every ranking and every recommendation published here is an editorial judgement about equipment a person assembles at home and the parts that wear out on it. None of it amounts to professional advice, medical or otherwise, and none of it undertakes any particular result for any particular body.
