Overview

StrengthandConditioning.com participates in affiliate marketing programs and accepts paid sponsorships. This policy explains how those commercial relationships work and how they are kept separate from our editorial recommendations.

Affiliate Links

Some links on this site are affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate links are used for products and services we have independently reviewed or that are relevant to our content.

Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial opinions. A product that earns us a commission is held to the same standards as one that does not.

Pages or articles containing affiliate links include the following disclosure near the top of the content:

“This page contains affiliate links. We may earn a commission if you make a purchase through these links, at no extra cost to you.”

Sponsored Content

We accept paid sponsorships and vendor partnerships. Sponsored content is always clearly labeled with one of the following:

  • “Sponsored” or “Sponsored Content” label at the top of the page
  • “Presented by [Vendor Name]” label where applicable
  • A note in the footer of the relevant page identifying the sponsoring partner

Sponsors may pay for placement, featured listings in our Buyer’s Guides, or sponsored articles. Sponsors do not review, approve, or edit our independent editorial content. Sponsored content represents the sponsor’s perspective and is clearly distinguished from our editorial voice.

What Sponsors Can and Cannot Purchase

Sponsors CAN purchase:

  • Placement in a Buyer’s Guide category listing
  • A sponsored article or profile introducing their product or company
  • Featured or highlighted placement within relevant guide pages
  • Directory listings on the site

Sponsors CANNOT purchase:

  • A positive editorial review or rating
  • Removal or alteration of an independent editorial opinion
  • Editorial endorsement of their product
  • Influence over our testing methodology or recommendation criteria

Editorial Integrity Statement

Our editorial recommendations are based on independent research, real-world experience, and input from working strength and conditioning coaches. No commercial relationship has ever changed or will change what we recommend. If we would not use a product ourselves or recommend it to a colleague, we will not recommend it to our readers, regardless of whether a commercial relationship exists.

Corrections

If you believe a commercial relationship has improperly influenced our content, please contact us at contact@strengthandconditioning.com. We take these concerns seriously and will respond within five business days.
