Catapult Fitness Blog readers have spoken and one of your requests for 2009 were for fitness related product reviews.
Product reviews is something I’ve tippy-toed around as I often cringe when visiting certain sites only to find a review for a product that I know Marketers are paying for. Yep, believe it or not, there are plenty of Marketers who offer bloggers cash for a positive review of their product/service.
Phooey to those Marketers and a stern “shame on you!” to those bloggers (you know who you are).
Yes, it would be nice to earn some extra cash, but not at the cost of my credibility.
My promise to the readers of Catapult Fitness Blog is that I will never positively promote a product that I personally don’t use (or have used) and believe is a quality offering. This goes for books as well as products such as Precision Nutrition and Turbulence Training.
While I will accept select products for review from manufacturer’s, this will only be done if I truly feel the product has potential interest to my audience and manufacturer’s must allow me to publish an un-edited opinion. These opinions will not always be positive.
Products that I recommend will receive the Catapult Fitness Blog NO BULL Seal of Approval. Rest assured that this Seal can never be bought by the Marketer!
Current recipients of the NO BULL Seal of Approval include:
- Turbulence Training*
- Precision Nutrition*
- Iron Gym
* Because I feel strongly about the value these products offer, Catapult Fitness Blog is an affiliate for these companies. This means that should you choose to purchase these products via a link on Catapult Fitness Blog, a small stipend is paid by the manufacturer/publisher. Today, all money generated as a result of these affiliate marketing efforts is re-invested back into Catapult Fitness Blog.
If you hear of a product that you’re interested in having reviewed, let me know! Requests can be sent to AskTheTrainer@CatapultFitnessBlog.com
Train hard; stay strong.
Peace.
Susan
