Product Review Policy
Last Updated: June 2026
At 1% Movement, our goal is to help readers make informed purchasing decisions by providing honest, evidence-informed, and practical product recommendations.
This Product Review Policy explains how we evaluate products and how affiliate relationships fit into our editorial process.
Our Philosophy
We recommend products because we believe they can genuinely help our readers build healthier movement habits not because they generate affiliate commissions.
Our recommendations are guided by usefulness, quality, safety, and value rather than commercial incentives.
Our objective is to educate first and recommend products only when they add value to the reader’s experience.
How We Evaluate Products
Every product recommended by 1% Movement is evaluated using a consistent framework.
We consider factors such as:
- Relevance to the topic
- Product quality
- Safety
- Ease of use
- Durability
- Value for money
- Brand reputation
- Customer satisfaction
- Suitability for beginners
- Practical usefulness in everyday life
No single factor determines whether a product is recommended.
Sources of Information
Our evaluations may be informed by:
- Product specifications
- Manufacturer information
- Independent customer reviews
- Published research where relevant
- Professional experience and knowledge
- Comparisons with competing products
Whenever possible, recommendations are supported by evidence and practical considerations rather than marketing claims.
Affiliate Relationships
Some product recommendations include affiliate links.
If you purchase through these links, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.
Affiliate commissions help support the continued operation of 1% Movement, but they do not influence which products we recommend or how products are ranked.
Editorial Independence
Editorial decisions are made independently of advertisers, affiliate networks, and product manufacturers.
We do not accept payment in exchange for positive reviews or favorable rankings.
If a product has meaningful limitations, we aim to describe them honestly so readers can make informed decisions.
Products We Choose Not to Recommend
To protect the trust of our readers, we generally avoid recommending products that:
- Make unrealistic health claims
- Lack credible evidence for their advertised benefits
- Prioritize marketing over quality
- Offer poor value for money
- May present unnecessary safety concerns for beginners
Examples may include certain detox products, weight-loss gadgets, miracle posture devices, and other products with unsupported claims.
Product Rankings
When articles rank products (for example, “Best Resistance Bands”), rankings are based on the overall evaluation criteria described in this policy.
Different readers have different needs, so the highest-ranked product may not always be the best choice for every individual.
Whenever appropriate, we explain which type of user each recommendation is best suited for.
Product Updates
Products change over time.
Manufacturers release new versions, discontinue products, or improve designs.
We periodically review our buying guides and comparison articles to ensure recommendations remain accurate and relevant.
When significant updates are made, the article’s “Last Updated” date will be revised.
Reader Feedback
We welcome constructive feedback from readers.
If you believe a recommendation is outdated, inaccurate, or could be improved, we encourage you to contact us through our Contact page.
Helpful feedback allows us to continually improve our recommendations.
Our Commitment
At 1% Movement, we believe that long-term trust is more valuable than short-term affiliate commissions.
Our commitment is to provide recommendations that we would confidently share with our own family and friends.
If a product does not meet our standards, we will not recommend it even if doing so means earning less revenue.
