 Men's Health sensational titles misleading January 18, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
My wife gave me this as a Christmas present. The mag looked interesting and appeared to have some good articles. But, when I began to look inside and read these articles I found that they were a very shallow representation of the title on the cover. I found these tiles on the cover to be a gross misleading description of the contents. I am now in the process of cancelling my subscription. It is insanely difficult to find a link that will allow you to cancel. I won't be ordering any more magazines from Amazon. Too difficult to communicate. We asked for some communication about this account to verify the cancellation and have yet to receive any.
 Too repetitive January 3, 2008

The first issue is great. The second issue to helpful. By the end of the year of your subscription, you're tired of learning of another 276 esoteric fruits and vegetables that scientists in other countries say lower some cancer risk by x%. And you don't need yet another workout routine designed by a movie star or athlete. My advice is read a few pages next time you're waiting for a haircut. That's all you really need.
 Read it from cover to cover. December 26, 2007
This is one of the few magazines that I can actually read from cover to cover.
The magazine has plenty of good articles on health, exercise, nutrition, sex, etc. I will suggest more articles about sex..
 Men's Health Reader for over 10 years (but not anymore) December 2, 2007

I've had a subscription for Men's Health for over 10 years, but just recently cancelled it. Cancelation was a bit of a hassle as I had to contact them three times.
The magazine is full of little facts, great recipes for quick meals and some decent workout tips. However I found that the articles weren't detailed enough. The workouts weren't thorough enough and rarely offered alternatives for people with troubled area's.
What put me over the edge is the increasing advertisement laden content. Seems like all the products that were recommend would preceded or followed by an advertisement from the manufacturer. So too many advertisements along with weaker content was enough to steer me away.
In addition, every since they brought on the new editor they have had a lot of junky stuff added. Too much relationship stuff and the Jimmy the bartender segment could be thrown out. Seems like it was made for very young men.
I'm also not fond of there involuntary preferred customer program, where they automatically sign you up for the following year. It wouldn't be too bad if their online system worked, but it didn't work the 3 times I tried.
Beware of Rodale Books! November 10, 2007

I've enjoyed subscribing to Men's Health magazine in the past but I had to stop to prevent being sold products and renewals without my authorization. Be aware that with your subscription, they will automatically renew your subscription "for your convenience" and bill you accordingly.
Also, I would receive post-card notices in the mail about their latest fitness guide ($28) and how I can "preview" it for 21 days. Of course, I think not and toss the card out. Too bad I didn't pay close enough attention. I have to fill out and send the card back in order to decline. The fitness guide shows up in the mail and I have 21 days to repack it and ship it back. They got me with two of them (I admit, I did fail to get it shipped back before 21 days was up) and, along with the auto-renewal, I had enough and called and told them I didn't want to be a customer anymore. Fine....I thought. It's been four months since my last issue and here I am now with a postcard from Rodale Books about previewing the 2008 Fitness Guide. I guess cancelling my subscription wasn't enough to keep them from auto-selling me stuff.
Can you imagine this new tactic of selling becoming the norm? The retailer gets to choose what we order and it's up to us to decline it. Crazy! If you google for "Rodale return card 14 days" you'll see that there are some who have attempted to sue Rodale over this. Think twice before ordering this magazine and being subjected to the same sales tactics.
