The core principle
We are independent. We do not accept payment for reviews, rankings, or placement. No brand can pay to rank higher, be featured, or have a bad review removed. Our income comes from affiliate commissions, and which products we recommend is never influenced by which pay the most. If that ever changed, this page would say so.
How we track prices
Our price comparisons are built on manually verified data. We check prices directly on each retailer's website, record them, and note the date. We do not pull live prices automatically, which means there can be a lag between a retailer changing a price and our page updating.
Because of this, we always show when prices were last verified, and we tell you to confirm the current price on the retailer's site before buying. Prices move constantly. Our job is to point you to the best value at the time we checked, not to guarantee a price.
We track the best selling or most representative product in each category across the major Australian retailers we cover, and we compare on cost per unit, such as cost per gram of protein or cost per serve, not just the sticker price. A bigger tub at a higher price is often better value, and cost per unit is the only honest way to compare.
How we rank supplements
When we rank supplements or name a best option, we weigh four things:
- Formula and dosing. Are the active ingredients dosed at levels the research supports, or underdosed to cut costs? Is the label transparent, or hidden behind a proprietary blend?
- Value. Cost per effective serve or per unit of the active ingredient, not just the headline price.
- Quality and transparency. Third-party testing, clear labelling, and a track record of consistency.
- Real-world experience. Where we have used a product ourselves, taste, mixability, and how it actually performs factor in. We say when we are drawing on first-hand experience.
How we rank gymwear and brands
For gymwear and apparel, we judge fabric quality, durability over repeated washing, fit and sizing consistency, and value per dollar. Brand ratings reflect range, quality, transparency, and value relative to price. We prioritise brands with genuine Australian distribution so the prices and shipping we quote are real for Australian buyers.
How we write ingredient guides
Our ingredient guides are evidence-based. We summarise what the research says, cite the effective dose ranges found in studies, and flag where products commonly underdose. We use an evidence rating to show how strong the science is, from overwhelming support across multiple high-quality trials down to weak or preliminary evidence. We do not make therapeutic or medical claims.
How we build fitness and nutrition content
Workout programs are built on established training principles: progressive overload, adequate recovery, and the fundamental compound movements. They are general templates, not personalised coaching. Nutrition content and food macros are drawn from publicly available nutritional data and standard sports nutrition guidelines. Calculators use widely accepted formulas, and results are estimates, not precise prescriptions.
When we get it wrong
We are human and the market moves fast. If you spot an out-of-date price, an error, or something that has changed, tell us and we will fix it. Accuracy is the whole point of this site, and corrections make it better. You can reach us any time on our contact page.
