4.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as it once was April 15, 2007

By Shane P.

I've been a longtime subscriber to Men's Fitness. As one of the other reviewers said, this magazine used to be better. It still has a great deal of workout, diet and fitness information, but it's not as good as it once was. I think the magazine is losing its focus a bit as each issue does seem to have more and more about sex, pornography, etc.

The only reason I give it 4 stars is because a lot of the workout and fitness information is still very useful (otherwise I would give it fewer), but I used to feel this magazine was worthy of 5 stars.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a big fan... February 26, 2007

By Curry

I know that overall men's fitness should include sex (and lots of it) but I tire of hearing it from a magazine whose main focus should be fitness, wellness, and health. I'm not purposing to eliminate it completely, because as we all know sex sells, I just saying minimize it! I can read all about sex in Playboy! I would suggest buying Men's Health- it's a better read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as great as it once was... April 16, 2009

By C. Williams

Subscription Term Name:1 year

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. Read more ›

2.0 out of 5 stars Its all shell. October 3, 2006

This magazine has great covers and gets your attention right away. I was was drawn to the cover because it claims to have great article inside, but the articles are very short and pointless. It was a good magazine few years back but now it just seems like they don't know what their doing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Like the new format April 29, 2012

I ordered this and it seemed to take a while to get the first magazine... Then when it showed up I got two the same day. I was pleasantly surprised to see that MF had changed their format and I had a chance to read the first and second issues. They are full of information and have a good division between the sound bite articles and articles that go into a good depth on a person or health issue.

Overall a good read if you take the time to read it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Worst purchase ever made on Amazon August 14, 2012

By A. J. Abadsafian

Subscription Term Name:1 year auto-renewal|Amazon Verified Purchase

I bought this magazine in hopes of getting some tips to stay fit, eat healthier and just live a healthier lifestyle in general. I wasn't really expecting much to be quite honest. First magazine I got, I didn't fall in love with. I gave it a second chance. Got the next issue in the mail- now I feel really sick. What a useless magazing. I bought this for myself and I got Men's Journal for my father. Both magazines covered a bit of the olympics-especially the swimmers and man its like night and day. The writing and quality of Men's Fitness (this magazine) is simply awful. It's not written to stimulate thought, apply to higher education, or even educate. This magazine is all about flashiness and hit headlines such as "Train like an Olympian" or "Lose your Gut" followed by a worthless paragraph or page magically telling you how to accomplish what the headline states. I mean, the quality of writing in this magazine is really lacking. Perhaps it was better years ago, but as of now, It's adjusted more towards the body builders I assume. EVERY OTHER PAGE has an ad for an enhancement or supplement. I remember in the issue I received in July? there was a page dedicated to Human Growth Hormones! This is not healthy!!! All these ads for supplements, performance enhancers, and photoshopped "fit" models in this magazine really disgust me.
The magazine I got for my 55 year old father has more information on just about everything and is *truly* a magazine for men young and older. This was my worst purchase ever on amazon. Articles are not in depth nor introduce new concepts. Ads with performance enhancers/supplements on every other page. And really poorly written articles. Will never purchase again!... I will be purchasing a seperate issue of "Men's Journal" for myself so I no longer have to borrow the latest issue from my father. Meanwhile this magazine, "Men's Fitness" will continue to go from the mailbox directly into the trash until it expires. Read more ›
