Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: October 6, 2026
The short version. Products on our Shop page link to the brand's or retailer's own website. Some of those companies pay us a commission when you buy something after following our link, at no extra cost to you. That money helps keep Home Gym Marketplace running. We never take a cut of a sale between users of this marketplace.

1. Why This Page Exists
If a company pays us when you follow a link and buy something, that is a material connection between us and them, and you should know about it before you click. US law requires that disclosure to be clear and conspicuous. We also think it is the right way to treat the people who use this site.
This page is the full explanation, not a substitute for disclosure at the link itself. See How We Label Affiliate Links.
2. Our Current Affiliate Relationships
Home Gym Marketplace participates in affiliate and referral programs with some of the brands and retailers whose products appear on our Shop page. When you follow a link from the Shop page to one of those companies and buy something, they may pay us a commission on that purchase.
Not every brand on the Shop page pays us, and which ones do changes as brands join or leave, so we do not list them here. If you want to know about a specific link, ask us (see Questions below). Everywhere else on the site, links that leave it are plain links, and we are paid nothing when you follow them.
3. What an Affiliate Link Is
An affiliate link is an ordinary link with a tracking code attached. If you follow it and buy something, the retailer pays us a small percentage of the sale or a flat referral fee. The commission is paid by the retailer, not by you, and we add nothing to the price you pay for following our link.
4. Where Affiliate Links Can Appear
Today, affiliate links appear on our Shop page, where every product opens on the seller's own website. As our programs grow, links of this kind could also appear in:
- Links out to a brand's or retailer's website from a vendor profile or storefront;
- Preorder, "shop the brand," or "check price" links on event pages such as HomeGymCon;
- Buying guides, comparisons, and other editorial content we publish;
- Email newsletters we send;
- Posts on our social accounts.
Affiliate links only ever point to new equipment sold by a manufacturer or retailer. Used equipment listed by members of this marketplace never carries one, and cannot. See the next section.
5. What We Never Earn a Commission On
We never earn a commission, referral fee, or any other cut of a sale between users of this marketplace. Buy a rack from another member, or sell your bumper plates to one, and nothing is deducted from the money that changes hands. Neither side pays us because the sale happened.
Personal accounts. Buying and selling on a personal account is free. We charge you nothing to list an item, make an offer, or complete a sale, and we earn nothing from your transactions.
Business accounts. Businesses and vendors may pay us fees, such as a subscription for a storefront, listing capacity, or promoted placement. Those fees buy access to software and visibility. They are billed to the business directly and are still not a commission on any sale: nothing is taken out of what a buyer pays a seller.
The no-commission rule is not a policy we could quietly reverse in an affiliate agreement. It is how the Services are built: buyers and sellers arrange payment directly, and we never process, hold, or route that money. Our Terms of Service say the same (§3, Our Role, and §5.F, Fees We Charge), and no affiliate relationship changes it.
6. How We Label Affiliate Links
A disclosure page nobody visits is not a disclosure. Where a link pays us, we say so on the page itself, before you click rather than after. On the Shop page that is a plain line at the top, above every product it covers, whenever any product on the page can earn us a commission. It links back here.
If you find a link that pays us and is not labeled, that is our mistake. Tell us and we will fix it.
7. Advertising and Paid Placement
Affiliate commission is not the only way money could reach us. Our Terms of Service (§5.F) reserve the right to offer paid features such as business storefronts, listing capacity, and promoted placement.
Those are separate from affiliate links, and we treat them the same way: anything we are paid to place, we label as paid. Promoted listings, sponsored placements, and advertisements are identified where they appear, so you can tell what earned its spot and what bought it.
8. What These Arrangements Do Not Affect
Outside clearly labeled paid placement, a commercial relationship buys no influence over the site:
- Search results, sort order, and rankings are not adjusted for affiliate partners;
- Whether a brand appears here does not depend on whether we can earn a commission on it;
- Reviews are written by users about their own transactions, and we do not edit, suppress, or reorder them for a partner;
- Nothing a partner pays us buys access to your personal information. See our Privacy Policy;
- We add nothing to your price for following an affiliate link, and skipping one never costs you a feature on this site.
9. Your Choices
You never have to use these links. Type the retailer's address directly, or search for the product yourself. We charge you nothing either way.
One caveat: a retailer's program may remember that you arrived through our link and credit us for a purchase you make there later, for as long as their program allows. Most programs do this with a cookie on the retailer's site, and clearing that site's cookies usually ends it. Some also use the address of the page that sent you, or other records the retailer or its affiliate network keeps.
Following an affiliate link takes you to a third party's website, where their terms and privacy practices govern instead of ours. We do not control third-party sites, their products, or their claims. See our Terms of Service (§13, Third-Party Content and Services).
Prices, discounts, and stock shown on the Shop page are copied from the retailer's site on a best-effort basis and can be out of date. The price and terms on the retailer's own site are the ones that apply. See our Terms of Service (§5.K, The Shop).

If you want to know whether a specific link pays us, ask and we will tell you.
