Disclosure

Welcome to FitGearShops. This Disclosure page outlines the policies, practices, and important information regarding how we operate, generate revenue, and maintain transparency with our audience. At FitGearShops, we believe in being fully open about our relationships with brands, affiliates, advertisers, and product providers so that you, our valued visitors, can make informed decisions with complete confidence.

We take pride in ensuring honesty, clarity, and integrity in everything we share. Please take the time to carefully review this Disclosure, as it explains the nature of our content, partnerships, and financial practices.

1. Purpose of This Disclosure

This Disclosure serves to:

Maintain transparency regarding how we earn revenue.
Provide insight into our relationships with affiliate partners and advertisers.
Ensure that readers clearly understand the difference between editorial content and promotional content.
Protect our community by being upfront about sponsorships, endorsements, and collaborations.
Comply with FTC (Federal Trade Commission) guidelines and international consumer protection laws.

At FitGearShops, we never compromise on the accuracy and reliability of the information we share, regardless of financial affiliations.

2. Affiliate Relationships

FitGearShops participates in various affiliate marketing programs. This means that when you click on certain product links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

Examples of affiliate programs we may participate in include:

Amazon Associates – As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
Fitness gear affiliate networks – Partnerships with suppliers of basketball gear, martial arts equipment, training gear, and fitness wearables.
Direct brand partnerships – Some brands may offer affiliate links or unique discount codes.

These commissions help us maintain our website, create quality content, and continue providing valuable resources for fitness enthusiasts.

Important Note: Our editorial choices are never influenced by affiliate earnings. We only recommend products that we believe in, have tested, or have researched thoroughly.

3. Sponsored Content

At times, we may feature sponsored content, reviews, or promotions. Sponsored content means that a brand has compensated us (financially, with free products, or through other means) to showcase their offerings.

However, we maintain a strict honesty policy:

Sponsored posts will be clearly labeled.
We provide honest opinions regardless of sponsorship.
Compensation never dictates our final verdict—we disclose both pros and cons.

4. Product Reviews

Our website frequently publishes gear reviews across basketball, boxing & martial arts, bodyweight training, and fitness tech.

Here’s how we handle reviews:

Some products are purchased independently by us.
Some products are provided by brands for testing purposes.
Regardless of source, reviews reflect our genuine experience, research, and analysis.
We may include affiliate links within reviews, but these do not influence our judgment.

5. Advertising

FitGearShops may display ads from third-party networks such as Google Ads or direct fitness brands. Advertisements may appear as:

Banner ads
Sidebar or footer placements
In-article promotional blocks

Please note:

Ads are not endorsements.
We do not control the content of third-party advertisements.
Clicking on ads may result in us receiving a small fee, which helps support site operations.
