Nothing Like a Little Fine Print
Here’s what you need to know:
- I’m not a fitness professional. I have no degrees in either nutrition, physiology or exercise science. All this to say, I know jack shit and you should take everything I write here about fitness, nutrition, exercise, training, and eating for what it is: my careful observations and recordings about what I notice, what I think, and what is (or isn’t) working for me.
- I *do* have affiliate relationships. What does this mean to you? It means that sometimes when I link to a product or service, I may receive a percentage of the sale if you choose to buy the product or service in question. Affiliate arrangements are a nice way to help me keep the lights on here – and I absolutely never recommend anything that I do not 100% support or use myself. Why? Because you would throw rocks at me and spit in my face if I told you to go buy something that was shitty, right? And I value your trust. So, I won’t ever abuse it. Got it? (Also, I’ll call out affiliate links in posts where they exist.)
- I don’t get paid to write reviews. Yet. (This may change as I’m having trouble keeping up with all the requests for reviews and may offer companies a chance to jump to the front of the line by paying me for my writing time. I will let you know – and change this page – if that ever happens.) Companies will often send me their products (food, gear, etc) in the hopes that I will write about it and give them some press. Usually, I get to keep the products. That’s rad – and where that happens, I will let you know. I never let the fact that I got something for free influence my review – I just try to shoot straight and tell it like it is (because, again, you would string me up by my toes if I got shady on you). Most often, I just review stuff that I already have or purchased on my own. Again, I’ll let you know which is which when I write reviews.
