Received my first two issues on the same day. One i had already purchased a month earlier and the other was the prior months issue! I wont buy subscriptions from here anymore.
Decent
February 17,2011
I bought this for my fiance because he used to get the magazine a few years ago. It's a decent magazine for someone that has never had a subscription to it before. However, if you have had a subscription in the past, don't get it again. Why? Because it's the same thing, over and over again. Same articles, same tips, nothing different. Either save your money, or put your money towards a different fitness magazine.
IF you have never had a subscription to this magazine before, it's worth it to get it for a year. It's very informative about some things.

Very good magazine!

One of the best health magazines out there. I find 85% of their articles very interesting. Better than Men's Fitness.
The Periodical of Lists and Little Else
December 13,2010
Bottom-Line: I have come to the conclusion the "Men's Health" is not written for me.
The world of men's magazines is festooned with glossy covers adorned with half dressed woman and mostly vapid content geared toward the more Neanderthal and or juvenile among us. In a world filled with Maxim and Stuff magazines, "Men's Health" magazine stands out as a periodical with some substance, style and intellect, but after reading the latest issue I am certainly not sold. And what is with all of the lists?
I had been meaning to pick up an issue of "Men's Health Magazine" for quite some time when I picked up a copy--the October 2007 issue--while shopping for a computer manual at Borders. The cover--as they always tend to do--featured a rather buff Jason Statham and article titles in big bold letters designed to catch the attention of that man looking for advise on Six-Pack ABS, or how to Dress for More Sex, or how to Eat Better and Think Smarter, or (my favorite) read what 1,293 Sexy Women Confess What They Want in Bed.
"Men's Health Magazine," whose tag line is Tons of Useful Stuff, was founded in 1987 and is published 10 times a year by the Rodale Inc. The magazine began publishing in the United Kingdom in 1995. Today "Men's Health Magazine" is published in 36 editions worldwide, distributed to 48 countries, and enjoyed a (2005) U.S. circulation of some 1.8 million.
The problem with "Men's Health" is that there is very little useful information to be found with the fold of the magazine despite it daunting size. Most of the articles are snippets of information stuck between far too many glassy advertisements featuring young male models in clothing I would never wear and probably couldn't afford. Same for the automobiles. To be sure there was one rather lengthy article in the issue I read, but it was about dogs of all things! The article I wanted to have some substance--a snippet on Michelle Ryan, the new Bionic Woman--was barely a page in length; how disappointing.
And yes there was a snippet or two about healthy food, but nothing I didn't already know. And the lists, there are endless lists of thing we can do to improve this or that, mostly dealing with self-image and sex; there are very few actually devoted to well, men's health. Has our attention span grown so short that we must now condense or leisure reading into bullet points; endless lists that tell us how to live our lives?
I have come to the conclusion the "Men's Health" is not written for me, a man in the middle of his life, settled, with a family, a regular job, with far too little time work workout, and far too little money to afford the rich life-style pimped by the magazine. There is little practical information inside the glossy innards of "Men's Health" at least from my perspective. Perhaps if I were young, rich, hip, the magazine would appeal to me, but I am none of those things, so...By the way what is the deal with all the lists? Oh I already asked that question, I am still waiting for an answer.

This is a womans version of Maxum

I can not imagine a straight guy wanting this magazine. Is has some decent health tips but seriously, why does a man want to see ripped guys in marble sacks. They were going directly into the trash half way through the year (after the wife got a look at them).
Speedy delivery

We received the magazine within 5 weeks, which is great time for a new magazine subscription! Very happy with the price and timely delivery.

I got this magazine for my son and he takes it to work and actually reads it. At 25 years old I told him that he is not getting any younger and should learn how to care for himself from the experts. Mothers know "Nothing". We received not only the first issue but they sent Sept. along also. Impressive!!!!
Thank you
Thank you

I can't write a review as the first issue has not been delivered. I was told originally it would be sent on Mid October, Now I have been advised it will be arriving mid November. I can't understand the poor delivery time. I ordered this in August.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Its the next best thing.

I think this magazine is a bit biased. However it does offer some good workouts and or changes you can make and shake things up in your day workout. Lots of ads for things you don't really need in my opinion. It does offer other god tid bits about food and life. Best bet it to go to a trainer or Specialist in Fitness Nutrition like myself.
Great magazine.

I love the magazine but the customer service sucks. I ordered the magazine in April 2010; knowing that I would not receive my first edition for 6-8 weeks. So I purchased the May, June, and July edition at the news stand. I received the May issue on June 30 and the June issue on July 7, 2010. I called customer service explaining that I already purchased the May, June, and July issues. They told me that they would only extend my subscription for one month (until May 2011). I thought this was very poor of them. I am getting really tired of talking to someone overseas.
