Affiliate disclosure
Rep Payback is an independent website. It is meant to be paid through affiliate links: when you click a link to a brand store (Speediance, Tonal, Bowflex, Concept2, Hydrow, Ergatta, Aviron, Echelon, NordicTrack) and buy, the brand may pay us a commission, at no extra cost to you. This is a material connection under the FTC's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255), so we say it at the top of every page that has such links, and here. As of November 14, 2026, no affiliate program has accepted the site yet: links go straight to the brands' product pages, without tracking.
How we work
- We have not bought, used or tested any machine. We never describe how a machine feels from experience. We compare what the brands publish, line by line.
- Every figure has its source and the date we read it (November 14, 2026). When a figure is not published, we write "not published". Our own arithmetic is marked [calc].
- No brand pays to be listed or ranked. "Our picks" follow a written rule given next to them, usually the cheapest machine that meets the stated need. Tables are sorted by price or by the figure in the column, never by commission.
- No customer reviews, ratings, stars or "tested" claims, in line with the FTC rule on consumer reviews and testimonials (16 CFR Part 465).
- No health, fitness-result or weight-loss claims, and we do not repeat the brands' claims about results. Under the FTC Act such claims need competent and reliable scientific evidence, which is for the brands to hold.
Prices
Prices are those shown by the official U.S. stores on November 14, 2026, before tax, during Black Friday sales. A struck-through price appears only when the store itself shows a compare-at price. Prices change often: check the store before you buy. Criteria, sources and dates: how we compare.
