Chris Tan is the byline for Science Meets Gym's research and testing desk. Gear published under it is trained with before it is written about, and any claim about training outcomes is checked against published research first.
About this byline
Chris Tan is a house byline used by Science Meets Gym's research and testing desk. Work published under it is researched, tested and written by the Science Meets Gym team rather than by one named individual. The testing criteria behind every ranking are published alongside the guides themselves.
