Search for gym equipment manufacturers and most results are factory blogs ranking themselves, or marketplaces where anyone can call itself a manufacturer. This directory is neutral: every listing shows what we could check (certificates, documents on the company's own site) and what is only claimed, so gyms can shortlist with their eyes open.
How listings work
Each company gets a verification status (Certificate confirmed, Documented, Reported, Unverified) plus an evidence level (Strong, Moderate, Limited).
We grade the paper trail behind the listing, not the factory. A great manufacturer with thin documentation ranks below an average one that publishes everything.
