About Health Constitution
Health Constitution has been reviewing at-home fitness equipment for Australian buyers since 2016.
We started as one person in Melbourne with a treadmill in a spare room and a frustration: almost most “best treadmill in Australia” lists are written by people who have never stood on one.
A decade on, we’ve published over 100 product reviews — and we’ve kept one rule the whole way: tell you exactly what each review is based on. Some of our reviews are hands-on tests. Most are deep research reviews. Every one says which it is, on the page.
How we review
Not every review is the same, and we think you should know which is which. Every review on Health Constitution carries one of two labels:
📚 Expert research review — Built from documented specifications, verified customer reviews, Australian pricing and availability, warranty terms and support quality. We also checked against the seller’s own claims rather than copied from them. We are explicit that this is research, not a hands-on test.
🔬 Hands-on tested — Where a product is practical for us to obtain, we get it in our hands. Usually supplied by the manufacturer or retailer and returned afterwards, sometimes bought ourselves. We use it for about three weeks, verify the specifications against what the seller claims, and photograph and measure what we find.
Why we say this out loud?
Plenty of sites imply they’ve tested everything. We’d rather tell you what a review is built on, so you can weigh it properly. Where we haven’t handled something, the review says so.
And what we do that the big international sites don’t: we’re Australian, and we review for Australian buyers. Local pricing and where to actually get it, local warranty and consumer guarantee, what’s in stock here, which retailers are reliable, and what fits an Australian home. A US review won’t tell you which of these you can buy on Tuesday, or what it costs in AUD.
Either way, the framework is the same. A product has to clear five things before it appears in a recommendation:
- Shopping experience: How the retailer presents the product, and whether what you read matches what arrives.
- Delivery and assembly: How it turns up, and how long it takes to get running.
- Design and specifications: Verified against the seller’s own claims, not copied from them.
- Experience in use: What it’s actually like, over weeks rather than minutes.
- Customer service: Whether the seller is reachable and useful when something goes wrong.
Who we are
There are 4 knowledgeable and amazing people who make Health Constitution’s content come to life. They each have different backgrounds and expertise in wellness and fitness topics. They are:
Founder and hands-on reviewer. Based in Melbourne. Jessica started Health Constitution in 2016 while still a student, and is the person who actually gets the equipment in her hands — assembling it, using it for weeks, and photographing and measuring what she finds. She is 163 cm. When she says a machine’s running surface fits her stride well, that tells you something concrete about whether it will fit yours.
Jack Rosser PT, BSc, MCSP, HCPC, FMPA.
Expert contributor. Jack is a Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist with six years across public, private and elite sport, including five years in musculoskeletal and orthopaedic care — rehabilitation after knee, hip and shoulder replacement, arthroscopic surgery and tendon repair. He splits his time between a private clinic and a top-tier football academy.
Jack has written for Health Constitution on recovery, injury and equipment use — including Can You Use a Massage Gun for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? and Smart Bikes vs Regular Exercise Bikes: A Physio’s Opinion, plus pieces on running surfaces and treadmill use. Where a physiotherapist’s view matters — what a percussion massager actually does to a nerve, whether compression helps recovery — his articles are the ones to read.
How we make money
Commissions. When you buy through a link on this site, the retailer pays us a small percentage, at no extra cost to you. It comes out of their marketing budget, not your pocket.
We don’t run display ads, we don’t sell placements, and we don’t recommend products we don’t think are worth buying, including products we’ve been offered money to feature.
A specific point we want to be upfront about: if we don’t have an affiliate relationship with a product, we’ll still tell you about it if it’s the right answer for you. Some of the products we rate most highly pay us nothing at all.
