Men's Fitness was a men's magazine published by American Media, Inc and founded in the United States in 1987. The premier issue featured Michael Pare from the television series The Greatest American Hero.
The magazine's slogan was "How the Best Man Wins". The magazine targeted men ages 21–40 years and featured in-depth articles on fitness, nutrition, and sports, as well as sex tips, fashion advice, interviews, recipes, and surveys.
Since its inception, Men’s Fitness became one of the fastest-growing titles in its category and licenses its title and format to Russian, Australian (readership of 119th. as of June 2018)[2] and British editions. Circulation doubled between 1997 and 2003. As of February 2007[update], circulation was 700,000.[citation needed] As of 2009, the British edition is no longer published under licence from AMI. Dennis Publishing acquired control of the complete publishing rights for Men’s Fitness in the UK and Ireland in 2009.[3]
In late 2017, the print version of Men's Fitness was folded into Men's Journal.[4]
In December 2021, The Arena Group acquired the digital assets of Men's Journal, including Men's Fitness, from a360 Media.[5]
