Here’s a magazine that’s completely devoted to motivating fitness-conscious active readers to improve their minds, bodies & spirits through exercise, good health habits & good nutrition. Most women would like to improve some part(s) of their...

Pros: This will work for 22-32 year olds. It does what it intends.
Cons: Some articles I feel are just plain unnecessary.

Pros: Great mix of all-body workouts and targeted exercises. Interesting food articles.
Cons: Silly beauty, fashion and relationships segment.

Fitness has really replaced Shape magazine in my house. I really enjoy health and fitness magazines and find they offer interesting articles on nutrition, as well as different approaches to exercise. Shape was a magazine that I used to rely on...

Pros: Inspirational, well- explained regimens, promotes attainable results
Cons: None

The words Wild Woman Walk- Blast 400 Calories caught my eye on the cover of September's Fitness magazine. Having recently restarted my fitness walking routine that I've been promising to get back into, I figured this magazine would inspire...

Pros: Comprehensively covered the three components making up the total package of who we are
Cons: Usual high-priced ads of over-priced merchandise and products

I never subscribe to magazines any more. Therefore, I had no intention of subscribing to fitness mind, body & spirit. For me, Being "Fit" Means More Than Just In "Body." Then, out of the blue, I was emailed a free subscription...

Pros: Good detailed articles, less "fluff" and capsules than Shape, models look real and fit, scientific information
Cons: Not enough on cardiovascular exercise and weight training

I am a regular subscriber to Shape Magazine, but found myself without reading material on a recent trip and picked up an issue of Fitness to read. I was extremely impressed with this magazine, overall, especially how it compared (favorably) to...

Pros: Easy to read, simple and reasonable approach to physical fitness
Cons: None

Fitness - Mind, Body & Spirit, is an uplifting journal of healthy ideas and tidbits, articles oriented to encourage FITNESS. Advertisements include the line of “Healthy Harvest” from Mott’s, Treadmills from Sears, running shoes, Balance Oasis ...

Pros: Some helpful diet and workout tips
Cons: I've read it all before, not enough content, mind and spirit sections very limited.

I’m currently sitting with my issue of Fitness Magazine labled “Oh, No! This is your LAST ISSUE!” To this I find myself thinking, who really cares? I subscribed to Fitness regularly in high school and early college. Last year I ...

Pros: varied content, exercise routines, recipes, product reviews
Cons: advertising

I do my best to stay healthy. It helps to have great exercise DVDs and friends who nudge (such as my walking buddy at work). I also like reading Fitness Magazine. It includes much more than exercise routines. The Basics Fitness ...

Pros: Good variety of articles on varying topics
Cons: Inconsistent from one issue to another.

Ok ok, I bought this magazine once after a particularly cold winter when I had gathered up a little more insulation than normal. I was drawn in by the bright colors, the thin muscular woman on the cover with a big smile, and the promise of a bikini ready ...

Pros: Good explanations, solid editorials and articles, good writing
Cons: Tends to have the usual "woman's" articles

Update: Revised as of 1-4-01


I am really torn with Fitness. It seems to be trying its best to really talk about the whole package: mind, body and, spirit. Which is something that I personally find very interesting and...

Pros: All of the great tips and plans
Cons: nothing

I have subscribed to Fitness Magazine for four years now, and is one of the best decisions that I have ever made. For over 48 months, this magazine has kept me motivated and fresh with ideas toward my health goals. I get new workout ideas, healthy eating...

Pros: Price, Content,Pictures
Cons: nothing really

Most people usually do not do what exercises are in magazines they subscribe to. I usually don’t, my beer-bellied dad doesn’t, and I really don’t know who does. Fitness magazine is for your mind, body, and spirit for women. They have many different...

Pros: Some great advice for younger people who lose weight easily
Cons: impossible to relate to models

I try to tell myself that being "in shape" is about four things:

1. Am I strong?
2. Do I have lots of energy?
3. Am I happy?
4. Do I fit in all my clothes?

When the answer is yes to all four of these questions, I...

Pros: Clearly written articles, (up until recently) in-shape but not stick-like models
Cons: Recent revamp leans more toward skinny models and Hollywood dish

I've subscribed to "Fitness" for almost two years, and for the first eighteen months I really enjoyed it. Then the seemingly capable Sarah Mahoney abandoned her post as editor, and under the direction of Emily Listfield the magazine has ... well,...
