Affiliate disclosure

Pad & Pace 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. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.

Every buy link on this site points at a page on our own domain (/go/ followed by the product name), which immediately forwards you to the retailer. That indirection exists so we can change where a product points without rewriting the article around it — it is not tracking you, and there is no cookie set by us.

The retailer link carries our Associates tag, t5fitness-20. If you buy something within Amazon’s attribution window, Amazon pays us a percentage of the sale. You pay exactly the same price either way.The commission comes out of the retailer’s margin, not out of your pocket.

Buy links are marked #ad and carry rel="sponsored" in the page’s markup, which is how we tell search engines these are commercial links. A disclosure appears above the first buy link on every page carrying one, and in the footer of every page on the site.

Not because we are good people — because of the structure. Every machine on this site links to Amazon, and Amazon pays a flat category rate. The $126 pad and the $536 pad pay us the same percentage of a different total, so the only way commission could bias us is toward recommending expensive things.

It has not, and you can check: our top pick for apartments is not the most expensive machine we list, and our budget page tells you plainly what the cheap options do not publish. Every roundup also names one product to skip, which is not a thing a site optimizing purely for commission does.

We do not currently have any relationship with any manufacturer on this site. Nobody has sent us a unit, paid for a placement, or reviewed a draft. If that ever changes, it will be disclosed on the page it affects, before it affects anything.

Prices shown here come from Amazon’s API on a daily schedule and are stamped with the date they were pulled. They change without notice and the price on Amazon at the moment you check is the one that applies.

If our price data goes stale by more than 48 hours, every number on the site disappears on its own and the buttons fall back to “Check price on Amazon”. We would rather show you nothing than a number that is quietly wrong.

Worth repeating here because it is the other half of the same honesty: we have not walked on any of these machines. We rank them on published manufacturer specifications and arithmetic. The full method is here.
