Beginning December 1, 2009, the FTC requires bloggers and website owners to provide disclosures whenever there could be hidden interests or unspoken biases related to recommendations. While it certainly is not always the case, you should assume that I have an affiliate relationship and/or another material connection to the providers of goods and services mentioned on FromForksToFitness.com
I choose to become an affiliate of products which I believe are truly helpful to my readers and that I use myself. This means I may receive a commission on purchases made through any links and banners I provide on this website. However, any recommendations that I provide are made first and foremost based on the merit of the product. I make them either because of my personal experience with the product or because of the product’s value, reputation and quality. I am not paid to write product reviews. When reviewing products, I will let readers know if I purchased the item or if it was a sample given to us by the company for the purpose of reviewing.

I am an Independent Team Beachbody Coach and earn a 25% commission on Beachbody products that are purchased through links on this website. I am not a Beachbody employee. I am an Independent Team Beachbody Coach.
