Men's Fitness

This is a magazine that I personally buy on a regular basis. For anyone interested in either muscle building, fat loss or generally getting fit, this is the perfect magazine. The first thing I did notice, compared to many other magazines like this, are there are no where near as many ads, which means there is more room for actual information. Every issue there are a good number of workouts and plans from professional athletes and gym workers. However there are many cover stories which seem to get repetitive. For example most issues will have a way to see your abs and a way to get bigger biceps. Each way is usual just a slight ...  Read the complete review

One thing I get really fed up with is the constant barrage of men's magazines which are full of smut, pointless pub ammo and page upon page of football results. It's refreshing to see a magazine that is aimed at men, which provides useful advice on everything from losing weight and building muscle, to help in the bedroom, style and cuisine. They also offer a lot of gadget advice, as well as some interesting real life stories. Every month they offer real workouts to experiment with, and also some really useful tips on things like stress busting and keeping well. The best thing about Men's Fitness though is that they occasionally ...  Read the complete review

I hate this magazine; it's a pain in the bum. The basic premise of it is that it showcases dozens of stunning male bodies, then shows you how to have one yourself. Through following the exercises detailed within, then eating the food detailed, and most importantly buying the supplements listed in there, you too can look great. In reality, it's nothing like that. Yes, each mag starts with a cover model who has the perfect physique. There are always a series of supposedly quick and easy exercises to follow too. These are mainly pictoral, and look easy enough to follow. The text in the mag is at a minimum, with it rather relying on glossy pics. We are ...  Read the complete review

Do you like the normal lads mag, stuffed full of smut and innuendo? If you do, you'll hate this mag. If not read on and enjoy a mag that is well written, quirky and full of useful advice. There are good informative sections on fitness as you would expect from the title, and some bizarre sections. For example this months mag gave tips on how to wrestle an alligator, just what you needed to know on a holiday to Florida. For me the highlight of this months mag was James Baxter's account of a high altitude trek along the Inca trail into the High Andes, the photography complimented the article well. ...  Read the complete review

Not every guy who wants to be fit actually wants bulging biceps or has nightmares about whether or not his calves are 'defined' enough. This magazine, however, still seems to be strongly under that impression. Having eschewed the Weider-stable men's titles for that very reason it was a disappointment to find this magazine offering much the same content. Loaded has a lit to answer for, I think. Since its arrival on the market every mag thinks it has to appeal to 'lads' and this is no exception. Some of the articles are great, it's true. They are reasonably well-written and manage to be informative without blinding with science or ...  Read the complete review
