I subscribed to this after seeing a copy, where else but a doctor's waiting room. It was engaging then and when the Amazon offer came I just got it for a year. 1st issue came in timely and I enjoyed reading it. Looking forward to reading the next issue.

Great magazine. No nonsense articles. Very informative and not a lot of advertisement.I like the real people who are fit that give they're advise. Tear out booklets to take to the gym are nice too.

I'm a charter subscriber of Women's Health, and honestly I think that's the only reason I stayed subscribed for so long. "Oh, but I was one of their first subscribers!"...yeah, who cares? After I really gave it some thought, I sure didn't care. The fact that 6 of the last 8 issues were still wrapped in their plastic wrap further confirmed my lack of interest in this magazine.

I used to always snatch my boyfriend's copy of Men's Health when it would arrive in the mail and devour it before he got home from class. So when Women's Health invited me to try out their first issue, I jumped at the chance. I was happy that the magazines were very similar, but after awhile it seemed too repetitive. Then Men's Health itself started changing into something boring and bland and my boyfriend chose to end his subscription. Now, it seems like the same pattern is emerging with Women's Health. It went strong for awhile, but now it just feels like they're regurgitating the same information over and over.

It's not so much that Women's Health is a *bad* magazine. It is informative, it does have decent columns and helpful information. But it's nothing special. It doesn't contain any information that I can't find in other (cheaper) places.

I gave it 3 stars because I do think it's a decent magazine to subscribe to for 2-3 years, but not necessarily worth a long-term commitment since you'll likely begin to feel a sense of déjà vu after a time.

Needless to say, my subscription is up for renewal and I'm opting out.

If you're looking at ordering this magazine because you've been reading your boyfriend's Men's Health, really enjoyed the work-out and health tips, and you said to yourself "Huh - they make a version for women, I should order it." - DON'T! Reading Women's Health is like reading Cosmo, filled with celebrities, causal language and make-up tips (not to mention advice for men - probably gleaned from Men's Health - so that you can surprise your boyfriend?). Don't waste your time on this vapid stuff.

I ordered this a month ago and it has yet to come so in my opinion don't buy from this vendor. They either take their sweet time submitting your order or just take your money and don't give you the magazines.

This was a gift & I asked that this be a renewal to be added on to the end of the subscription, but instead she's been getting two copies of each magazine & I've been trying to get it straighted out without success.

I actually received a renew email concerning the subscription...out of 10 magazines purchased I only received 3.

I've been a reader of Women's Health (1-year) off and on for many years and have given some thought as to the best way to characterize the magazine for potential buyers. Here's essentially what you get in every issue of the mag:

-updated and interesting FITNESS information
-WEIGHT LOSS information/tips
-HEALTH information pertaining to women
-NUTRITION information for better health
-information on having a better SEX life

Note that some of the words are captialized. Well, they represent the main topics that you'll be reading about in this magazine. So, if you're looking for the latest info on any of these kinds of topics, it's worth your time to check it out. Also recommend The 5-Minute Plantar Fasciitis Solution for women suffering from plantar fasciitis.

Love Women's Health, but problems with my order from December.... it's now May and I've only received 2 magazines!! And one was a December mag that I didn't receive until beginning of Feb.... now tell me - if you order a magazine subscription in December, and they say you won't receive your first mag for 6-8 weeks, don't you think they'd at least start with January!!! After all - in December at the newsstand and bookstores, the magazines are all January's issue!

Yeesh!

I really like this magazine and would suggest it to most woman. I didn't like being sent the March issue when I place the order on March 18th along with the April issue (I already had the March issue). I also received the May issue about a week later. I was expecting to wait 6-8 weeks like I was told numerous times when placing my order. As for the magazine content, I LOVE IT!

I bought this magazine for my daughter as a gift and she swears by it, saying it's the best magazine of its kind on the market (and she's read them all!).

Good magazine, the wife loves it. But why do they have to include the inappropriate adds. We cannot leave the magazine sit around the house becasue we are afraid the kids will start looking at it.

I really love this magazine because everthing is highlighted for easy and fast reading. Who doesn't love that?

I adore Women's Health Magazine. buying it from Amazon was great. I got it in a timely manner and enjoy getting it every month.

Easy and interesting articles to read from food and exercise to going green and etiquette. At 30-something I feel too old for the Cosmo mags out there and look forward to WH's random articles that I can use. My husband can even find something interesting in there to read.

Well, I give the magazine itself 5 stars because I like it. I ordered it January 2. It was supposed to take 4-6 weeks to receive. I got the January/February 2008 issue in about 3 to 3 1/2 weeks. That I will give 5 stars also. However, a week later, I received the December 2007 issue. That I did not like. Why would I be mailed a December issue in February 2008. I am sure that counts against my one year subscription. Since I was not a customer in November, they should not have sent me an issue of the December magazine. But, oh well, when has a company ever done what they said they were going to do? At least I received the magazine. I am grateful for that.

I only recently picked up on this magazine and so I feel behind the times. What is possibly ironic is that for the last couple of years I would pick up the occasional copy of Men's Health because I felt that I was finally getting up to date articles on FDA approved diets, foods, vitamins and other health related OTC drugs, as well as updated fitness routines. Thankfully the same information can be found and how it relates to a woman's system here.

I've also read the one and two star reviews of the magazine and the reviews that condemn this magazine and touted 'Shape' instead left me scratching my head. I had a subscription for several years to 'Shape' in college and ultimately turned my back on it as I found it to be superficial featuring a famous thin model/celebrity who was never particularly known for their athletic ability as the big selling point. It also bothered me that every other ad was for a magic diet pill/supplement that was eventually done away with after an expose on some news program listing a litany of problems.

A health magazine should be about health: getting it and keeping it and warn the public against a quick fix. I also like to see exercise and fitness emphasized more heavily than fashion. Which is exactly what I got here. Ultimately I want to be healthy and feel good for a long, long time. I also want to keep up to date on current methods for maintaining this goal. I really believe I get current and effective information and advice here. Other women's health/fitness magazines felt to me more like they were compeating with Cosmo and Glamour type magazines.

I picked this magazine over Fitness and Self based on the reviews I read. This magazine arrived last week and I was very disappointed. First the content is very mature (language and content), and I have young girls in my household. Needless to say this first copy is in the trash already. Second, I was looking for fitness, and healthy lifestyle content, if I wanted to read views on politics I will pick up News Week or the Wall Street journal. I won't be renewing this magazine, and wish I could cancel and get my money back now.

I hoped to find good information on health and fitness in this magazine. What a disappointment! This magazine is totally superfical - tons of tiny articles with no real information, seems like a paste and cut job. Additionally, some of the information is plain wrong! If you are serious about fitness and health and want valuable information,I advise you to stay away from this magazine. Try "shape" instead.

Unlike many female oriented magazines this one has some fine advice on health, fitness & exercise. You won't find destructive over the top dieting tips that could get make you very ill & it is not overloaded with ads like "Oxygen, Shape, & Self." For those of us who want overall fitness, cross training, interesting recipes, & new outdoor activities to try this magazine is the best one out there. Even for all of us middle aged gals trying to get back some of our youthful health & appearance. Also, if you are into weight training, I would try a muscle magazine for that. WH is not that big on that subject. The main negative is some of the departments keep changing their formats & some articles can be as little as one paragraph. But, on the whole it still is better than its competitors.

I subscribed to Women's Health back in late October 2007. I knew it would take a few weeks for the subscription to begin. That was fine. But when I got my first issue on Dec. 26th, it was the NOVEMBER issue. At that point, I really didn't need any advice on a healthy Thanksgiving dinner. I emailed Women's Health directly at their website the next day, and I haven't heard anything back yet. It's been almost 2 weeks. I asked them to please begin my subscription with the January issue, as that would be the only one that I wouldn't consider late at that point. A couple days later I received the December issue (again, I don't really need fitness gift ideas when it's January!) and then I received the January issue. I am going to call them to see if I can get the subscription start date changed; otherwise, I feel like I was cheated out of two issues of the magazine. The magazine itself is fine...customer service is awful! **I am editing this to add that they did change the end date of my subscription by 2 months, but they never contacted me to notify me that it had been resolved. Again, the magazine itself is fine, but watch out for the customer service!!

I subscribe to several magazines, and this is one of my favorites. I spend weeks on it because it has great articles and lots of tips and even some of the fun and frivolous things that are less health oriented, but as a woman, I still love them. The thing about this magazine is that it's really got a perfect recipe. Mostly health oriented with just enough non-health oriented things to feel like my girly side that loves tech toys and makeup and pretty things is not being denied.

The major downside, however, that I feel obligated to mention is that ever since I subscribed to WH I have been inundated with calls from Rodale, the owner of WH. First it was their telemarketing department to whom I finally told to leave me alone or I would cancel my subscription. Then I received books I didn't order. At first I thought it was some new subscription deal. I put them aside until I got the $49 bill. Now I have to return them, which is another hassle. If you subscribe to WH, buyer beware. They are not above sneaky marketing tactics, which is why I only gave them 4 stars. I'd have given them three, but I really do love the magazine.

I highly recommend this magazine...it's got great exercise tips, great recipes and interesting nuggets of info. I've tried several of the recipes and they are tasty. This magazine is a big help for any woman trying to stay fit and healthy. It's inspiring!! Now for my one gripe...the writers/editors assumes their entire readership is made up of straight women. How about a little acknowledgement for women who love women?!

I've purchased this magazine twice, expecting the same level of content as Men's Health. Both times, I have been disappointed. The articles are useless with misleading titles and you can find 99% of the content on the Women's Health Magazine website without paying a penny. Seriously, save your money.

I am enjoying the magazine. I liked my subscription to Health magazine a little more than Women's Health. This magazine seems more appropriate for a younger set. My college age daughters enjoy reading the magazine.

Good = magazine arrived very quickly, faster than promised.

Bad = two issues arrived together, one from the month before, thus it was an 11 month subscription for me as I already had that issue. I have had trouble getting in contact with amazon to fix the problem using the phone number in my order confirmation.

I was, and continue to be pleasantly surprised how much I have enjoyed my first two issues of the above magazine. As of now, I would dare to say that this magazine will be one that I will definately continue to subscribe to.................and I am very picky about what comes in my mailbox on a regular basis. :O) Thank you folks for providing the service to get, what appears to be a high quality magazine.

This magazine provides good information on health issues and exercises tips. The only drawback is that there are a numerous amount of advertisements.

This magazine is 90% fluff and 10% exercise! If you want a no nonsense exercise and fitness magazine then keep shopping. It you are all about lipstick, make-up, and facial creams then this is the perfect magazine for you.

I am glad to say this is more than just another women's health magazine. I have a subscription to a few magazines about women's health and fitness, but this is by far the best. This magazine is about more than losing weight, it's about getting healthy! It gives a lot of good tips. Women's Health has more articles than other magazines and doesn't waste half of the magazine talking about fashion, beauty, etc. I do enjoy these articles but I don't buy the magazine for them! I buy it for WOMEN'S HEALTH! So if you want a magazine that's main focus is on HEALTH... this is a great option. Don't worry they have a little of the fashion, beauty, and sex for you too!

One of the best health/fitness/diet/beauty magazines around - each page chock full of important/interesting and helpful tips. It is one of the few magazines around that has something new and worth reading on every page! One of my favorite reads!

Very good magazine with tips and update articles about health and fitness for women!

I really like this magazine. I was inspired to buy it because my hubbie was reading Men's Health. I really like it, and it gives great information on health, exercise, and how to improve your sex life. I love it.

I have received 3 months into my 1 year subscription and want to cancel it. I did not get the magazine to be lectured on global warming and I do not care to know how many sexual partners other women have. I did get the magazine for ideas to change up my workout routine and improve specific muscle groups. It also seems like a magazine with "ADD" (bits of information thrown all over). I'm looking for a better magazine.

I subscribed to the magazine and and very impressed and happy with it as it has tons of information in it like no other magazine.
