Affiliate & Advertising Disclosure

The Short Version

Some links on OTFInsider are affiliate links. If you click through and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. We also display advertising via Google AdSense to help cover hosting and content costs.

We only recommend products we've personally used or have researched and believe will genuinely help the OTF community. Our opinions are our own — never bought.

Amazon Associates

OTFInsider 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.

When you click an Amazon link on our site and complete a purchase within the qualifying window, Amazon pays us a small percentage of the sale. The price you pay is exactly the same as if you had gone to Amazon directly.

Other Affiliate Programs

We may also participate in affiliate programs with fitness gear brands, heart rate monitor manufacturers, supplement companies, and other retailers relevant to Orangetheory members. Where this is the case, links are clearly part of gear guides or product review content.

Display Advertising

We display banner and in-content advertising via Google AdSense. Ad content is automated and selected by Google based on page content and (with your consent) your browsing history. Ad content does not reflect our editorial opinions or endorsements.

We do not accept payment for editorial content. Sponsored content, if ever published, will be clearly labeled as such.

Editorial Independence

Affiliate revenue and advertising have no influence on what we cover or how we cover it. We are independent of Orangetheory Fitness, Ultimate Fitness Group LLC, and any equipment or apparel brand we may discuss. If we recommend a product, it's because we believe in it — not because someone paid us to say so.

For more on our content standards, see our Editorial Policy.

FTC Disclosure Compliance

This disclosure is provided in accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.” Specific affiliate links throughout the site are also marked inline where the FTC requires it (typically with “affiliate link” or “sponsored” labels near the link or in a per-article disclosure block).
