College, pro or retired. If you've played, your opinion is worth paying for.
Tell us your sport, level and school or team. It takes 60 seconds and it's free.
When a brand wants athletes like you, you get an invite with the topic, the time and the pay up front.
Train with new gear or answer a quick survey, tell the brand what you really think, and get paid. No posting, no contracts, and you only take the studies you want.
Every Locker member who fits a study gets the invite. Pay is a target, confirmed before you accept.
Brands send you new gear before it hits stores. Train with it like you normally would, then rate it honestly.
Use it for 1 to 2 weeks + quick ratings
Brands show you new designs, colors, packaging or prices. You tell them what you'd actually wear, use and buy.
Quick survey on your phone
Join a paid athlete panel that helps a brand design its next product, through calls, small groups and early prototypes.
Interviews, groups or an ongoing advisor role
Brands book studies by sport and level. Every member who fits a study gets the invite, and every teammate who joins brings more studies to your sport.
Join the LockerIf a study fits your sport and level, you get the invite. No waitlist, no ranking. Just get verified before your first paid study.
Brands book studies by sport. The more athletes from your sport in the Locker, the more studies we can land for it.
Everyone in the Locker is an Athlete Advisor, LockerIndex. Add it to your LinkedIn.
We pay you for finishing, not for what you say. Your answers are never sold with your name attached.
Independence pledge. Brands can commission a study. No one can buy a good review, an individual athlete's answer or a changed finding.
Alongside paid studies, we publish free, anonymous reports on the issues athletes rarely get asked about. The first one is live and the next is coming.
How many athletes use peptides, which ones, where they get them, what they know about the risks and testing rules, and who they tell. Anonymous and independent.
The Locker is LockerIndex's network of verified college, pro and retired athletes who get paid for their opinion. Brands pay to put new gear in front of real athletes and hear what they honestly think. Locker members get the invites.
It's free to join. There's no posting, no follower minimum and no contract. You only take the studies you want.
No. This is paid feedback, not an endorsement or a sponsorship. Brands get your opinion, not your name, image or likeness. Nothing gets posted.
Only as combined, anonymous results, like "rated #1 for comfort by verified college and pro athletes." Never your name, photo, quote or team. A brand can't pay for a good result, and if the ratings don't support a claim, there's no claim.
No. You train with it and rate it. That's the job. If you ever choose to post about gear you got for free, you need to say it was free, the same as anyone else.
It can. If a brand values your feedback, it may invite you to become a paid product advisor or ongoing tester. It's always your choice, always paid, and it's still product input, not promotion: no posting and no endorsements.
Because athletes decide what looks right in the locker room, and everyone else follows. Honest proof from real athletes is worth more to a brand than another influencer post.
Gear tests typically pay $75 to $150, quick surveys $50 to $100 and interviews or product panels $100 to $150 or more. Every invite shows the topic, the time and the pay before you say yes. Studies open as brands sign on, and every Locker member who fits a study gets the invite.
Before your first paid study we ask for one quick proof: a school email, a roster page or your LinkedIn. Verified athletes are what make studies worth paying for.
Your Locker profile is only used to match and pay you. Answers are never sold with your name attached, and our anonymous public surveys are never linked to your profile.
