Who Reads Men’s Health Magazine?
Men’s Health readers are active, successful, professional men who want greater control over their physical, mental and emotional lives. They are looking for in-depth reporting on everything from fashion and grooming to health and nutrition as well as cutting-edge gear, the latest in entertainment and more.

What You Can Expect in Each Issue:

  • Fitness: Men’s Health knows total body fitness is not accomplished during the hour or two you spend at the gym three days a week. That’s why, in addition to the removable workout poster included in every issue, we also write about what you should be doing outside the gym, like catching the right amount of Z’s. And no, five hours per night is not enough.
  • Nutrition: Quick and easy recipes paired with advice that will help you live longer and healthier. Our editor’s even throw in a selection from Eat This, Not That each month because we know life is too busy to never eat fast food.
  • Sex & Relationships: Women are one life’s many mysteries, which is why Men’s Health is here to help. Our editor’s cover everything from how to bulletproof your relationship and keep your sexual attraction revved up to how to be her best ever. Need a specific question answered? Write to The Girl Next Door, editor Nicole Beland who sheds female insight on your most complex situations.
  • Health: Our editors comb through the latest health news and report on topics most relevant to men like how to protect your prostate, lower your cholesterol and protect your manhood.
Feature Articles:
  • Style Guide: Our editors take you step by step through the best new products and looks that will help get you out the door looking your best.
  • Eat This, Not That! At the Supermarket: What you don’t know about your local market is making your fat. Men’s Health investigates how stores dupe you into paying top dollar for unhealthy foods. It’ll forever change the way you shop.
  • How Fit Are You? : Men’s Health rounded up top athletes who set the bar in terms of speed, endurance, power, and agility and asked them how they got to the top. We know their secrets, now you can too.
  • Secrets from America’s Top Gyms: The Men’s Health annual list of the best gyms in America. Plus, for 2009, we name the 50 top personal trainers in America and reveal their secrets for building muscle and shedding fat faster.
  • Men and Their Cars: A Love Story: We know you love your car, but can you identify everything under the hood? We’ll show you how to take full advantage of that sports package you ponied up for.

5 out of 5 stars A positive influence   June 11, 2003
FrKurt Messick (Bloomington, IN USA)

I like Men's Health a lot, because it is one of the most practical, useful magazines I get. It covers fitness, diet, health (it is very big on prevention and self-diagnosis early, so as to avoid major health problems later), fashion (good stuff, trendy and basic, not latest-from-Paris kinds of stuff), relationships (carefully sneaked into a magazine that looks like it isn't about relationships -- clever, because men don't read magazines about relationship tips), finance, and other topics that come up. There are brief articles on each of these (this is the magazine I read while standing over the kitchen sink eating breakfast -- articles tend to be brief enough to finish in that period of time), and I appreciate the witty, upbeat style that is not pompous or pretentious, just good basic 'guy stuff'.

Alas, in each issue there is at least one article on 'how to drop five pounds this week' or 'how to lose 10 pounds by Easter' -- these look like they'll work and seem very reasonable, but I cannot comment on their effectiveness (would that I were able to!). I can comment on the effectiveness of time management, basic financial planning, and exercise routine advice -- these have worked for me. In fact, I credit many of the articles in this magazine with helping me to plan a graceful exit from my old job and into my new self-employment career and graduate school/seminary endeavour, by illustrating stories and giving useful advice.

There are also fun things, too, like a recent issue's back-page article on how to effectively tan, by the tan-master himself, George Hamilton. Do you know how to tie a bow-tie? This magazine had an article showing that, too.

This is not an 'in-depth' magazine, but then again, it doesn't pretend to be. Many of us work and live in a world that doesn't permit time-consuming research and consideration of essays on health and fitness, unless we are professional in that field. Thus, magazines like this fill a need. So far as health and fitness magazines are concerned, this one is a good one -- many magazines are veiled soft-core erotica. Men's Health does not avoid the topic of sex, but doesn't overplay it the way many do.

The magazine has a good graphic sense to it -- it illustrates the physical things discussed in photographs without as much embellishment as many other fitness magazines. Comparing this to several others on the magazine rack, it is understated, has less flash and more substance in the articles.

Definitely worth a look!

If you're looking for a men's magazine that will help to keep you informed on fitness, weight loss, nutrition, sex and style - then this is a magazine you will have an interest in.

The layout is simple, with the most important information highlighted to draw your attention. I have found this magazine to be extremely helpful in keeping myself fit. I find an abundance of useful material each week and there is always a recipe or something that I find myself trying out with each issue. Great stuff.



5 out of 5 stars The most entertaining and useful Men's Health magazine   July 4, 2002

I eagerly look forward to every new issue of Men's Health. This magazine has it all. It's colorful, makes me laugh and almost always has something interesting to say-whether it's about women, fitness, careers and yes even men's fashion (gulp). The articles are not dry at all. In fact, they are quite unique, humorous and unpretentious (unlike a magazine that comes to mind starting with the letters GQ). And unlike most men's magazines, this one is for men of all ages.

You may not end up looking like the guy on the front cover, but if there is any magazine that can motivate you to look and feel better, this one can.

It's funny, but my husband subscribes to this magazine, and I subscribe to WOMENS HEALTH, but it's this one I prefer. I've finally nailed it down to it being just a little "sexier." As in, the celebrity profiles and the short pieces on sometimes pretty random things.

For instance, recently there was an article on Adrian Brody and all the weight he had to drop (plus learn to play piano!) in a very short period of time. He described locking himself in an apartment, all alone, because he knew he couldn't achieve new goals by living his life the way he had always done. That really resonated with me since I, too, am trying to achieve things I never have before. It's an inspiring, helpful magazine, and I think many women would benefit from reading it just as I do!

Plus, this month there's Josh Holloway, and who's going to say no to that? :)
