Disclosures
At Fitness Lume, my mission is simple: to help you build the best version of yourself, and your home gym, without wasting money on equipment that gathers dust.
Whether you are looking for the perfect treadmill, a budget-friendly rack, or just honest advice on how to start running, I want you to trust the words on this screen.
Part of building that trust is being 100% transparent about how this website is funded.
The Honest Truth About Money
Running a website like Fitness Lume costs money. There are server fees, software costs, and the time invested in researching, testing, and writing the guides you read here.
To keep this site free for you (and to keep the content high-quality), I participate in affiliate marketing programs.
What is an Affiliate Link?
It’s actually pretty simple.
When you click a link on Fitness Lume that leads to a retailer (like Amazon, Rogue Fitness, or others) and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission from that sale.
Here is the important part:
- No Extra Cost to You: The price is exactly the same for you whether you use my link or not.
- The “Virtual High-Five”: Think of using these links as a way of giving me a “virtual high-five” or buying me a coffee for the help I provided. It supports the site and allows me to keep creating content.
My “Integrity First” Promise
I want to be crystal clear about one thing: My reviews are not for sale.
While I may have affiliate relationships with many of the brands found on this site, those relationships do not dictate my opinions.
- If a product is bad, I will tell you it’s bad.
- If a product is overpriced, I will recommend a cheaper alternative.
- I do not accept money in exchange for a positive review.
Sometimes, companies may send me equipment to test for free. While I appreciate the opportunity to get hands-on with gear, this does not guarantee a favorable review. My loyalty is to you, the reader, not the manufacturer. I treat your budget as if it were my own.
Amazon Associates Disclosure
To comply with Amazon’s specific policy requirements, please note the following:
Fitness Lume is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
Your Privacy Matters
I respect your privacy. I do not see your personal credit card information or your home address when you buy through an affiliate link. That data stays strictly between you and the retailer (e.g., Amazon).
However, we do use cookies to track which links are clicked so that the retailer knows you came from Fitness Lume. This is standard industry practice.
Thank You
Finally, I want to say thank you. By reading these guides and using these links, you are supporting independent creators and allowing me to do what I love—helping you reach your fitness goals.
If you have any questions about this disclosure or how I work, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
