 Great magazine November 2, 2009

Loaded with workout tips and guides (even if you think you know it all). Focuses on working out and not on the normal crud that fills the others - if I wanna know "10 pickup lines that work 90% of the time, every time" then I can pickup one of those other magazines that by the title you'd think would be focusing on working out, but is filled with fluff!

I ordered it a while back and it is to be delivered sometime next month. Have not heard of a specific target date as of this time. Therefore I don't have anything to report. An occasional update might be helpful
Inspirational and a Good Deal for the Money July 15, 2009

I got a subscription to this at the same time I got one to another very famous health magazine for men. I got mine for about 10 bucks a year which was half the price of the other, and I find it inspirational. I'm not in great shape and I appreciate the focus here on fitness and working out. I've received four issues thus far and have not found it to be sex-obsessed in the least--which, is refreshing and makes it different from MH. Both magazines are good, and I think Men's Fitness is a good deal for the money. The workout specifics are what is best about it in my humble opinion.
 Not as great as it once was... April 17, 2009

I've been a subscriber to Men's Fitness since late 1999. In fact, I still go back and use their year-long workout routines from 2000, 2001 and 2002 when I feel like I've hit a rut, or am coming back after a layoff.
Unfortunately, the publication has changed over that time, and sadly, not for the best. Where I was once able to read the magazine from cover to cover and get lots of information that I felt made the issues valuable to keep, since I could go back and always find something to tweak my workouts with, these days, I just don't see the same quality. Not only in the workouts provided, but in the other articles and the magazine itself.
For example, over the last 4 years or so, when they started to put celebrities on the cover, LL Cool J is one of the VERY few that they have managed to discuss any type of a workout with that really goes further than the standard, "Oh, I do weights 3 days per week and cardio 4 days, blah blah blah" repetitive answer. Instead, the writers focus on their movie, their CD, or how they feel about the sport they play. If they put Ryan Reynolds on the cover, then I want to know what his workouts are like; sets, reps, what he does on different days of the week and so on. Not how he feels about whatever role he's playing in his new movie, not who he's dating/married to, not the kind of clothes he wears or what he drives, which is typical of the type of interviews and articles that appear issue after issue in the magazine today.
In a nutshell, Men's Fitness appears to be drifting away from the informative magazine that I feel that it used to be - so much so, that for several years, I held it in higher regard than Men's Health - to something resembling Maxim. In other words, a magazine that I will flip through once, and forget that I have it an hour after I've read it. And that is really too bad, considering that it used to be such a high quality magazine at one point in time.
Pretty sad, fake pictures and nearly all adds. December 3, 2007

Fake airbushed pictures, ie Andy Roddick. That guys arms turned out bigger than his waist. This magazine used to be okay. I think they spend more time with tanning, lights, make-up and Photoshop that they do with real athletes. If they cut out the "4-page advertisements" every 6 pages along with all the adds at back of the magazine it would consist of the cover and a 1/2 page article. They should pay people to accept it in the mail, hard to charge for a brochure. I just wish it was more "real" and less about selling us on smelling like roses and wearing $350 desinger shoes, cater to the average Joe who just wants to get good info and work-out ideas. I could watch QVC and MTV to cover any lack of B.S. I may be experiencing. Your best bet is to just surf the net, buy books, save your money.
