About six months ago I had a bunch of frequent flyer miles that were about to expire. It was a small amount, so I couldnt really do much with them. The airline sent me a message saying that I could redeem them for magazines. I was able to get about 6 magazines for my miles. SHAPE was one of the magazines....

Not a great magazine for a fitness buff

Shape magazine is an OK fitness magazine. If someone is serious about working out, do not count on this magazine for help. This magazine is more into fashion and makeup then anything else. Womans Health is a much better fitness magazine for the serious fitness women.

From the first time I picked up a Shape magazine about a year ago, I have been hooked.  I like the type of fit models they show, they are lean, slim and toned.  This magazine has a overall healthy lifestyle approach covering health, beauty, fitness & fashion.  It has something for everyone and I feel it has a really well-rounded approach to well-being.

Shape really gives you all the bang you can possibly stand for your buck- for $14.00 for an annual subscription you get 12 issues jam packed with so many practical, inspirational, and interesting tips on how to be the healthiest and fittest person you can be, that you can't go wrong!  Each article specifically highlights different topics never leaving you bored! I give this magazine my full recommendation.

I really love Shape magazine. I think they include women in their magazine that have a very healthy body image and actually look healthy, too. They don't show super skinny girls or crazy muscular ones either. They provide great exercise routines that you can do at home and don't have to be a member at a fancy gym to do. I love this because I don't have the time or money to go to a gym. You can do most of the exercises or at a least a variations of them with a stability ball, some hands weights, resistance bands, and ankle weights. They really work, too, you can really feel it afterwards. They discuss... review »

Best Magazine Ever!

I recently decided to change my lifestyle. A recent college graduate I needed to revamp myself from my pizza and Gilmore Girls marathon days. I don't have the money for a personal trainer, but I could afford $12 for a magazine subscription. Shape has ended up being the best purchase I have ever made. Each month I get a new set of workouts to deal with. I am able to revamp from things I have done in the past and target new areas. The recipes featured in the magazine are fantastic! Who doesn't love a pomengranite lemonade martini!?? Shape.com also has numerous supportive features for a beginner or... review »

This magazine is great if you want to pretend you are into fitness.  This magazine is basicly cosmo and every once in a while there is something thrown in about fitness and exercising. There is almost nothing in here about nutrition.  It is all about what diet the latest celebs are doing.  Who wants to look like one of them.  Last time I checked, the human body actually had muscle in it and not just skin and bones.

I love magazines, especially ones that make my life better -- healthier, smarter and more fun! Shape has articles on it all. The fitness tips are doable, even for a busy woman and you don't always need to go to the gym. My favorite part of the magazine is the recipes. All healthy and delicious. I've been a subscriber for years and will continue -- I look forward to opening my mailbox to find a new issue each month.

I really like this magazine.

Once you get past the perfect models on the cover, there are some very reasonable goals and tips to good fitness.

THis is one of the few magazines I would even consider subscribing to.  The price is great as well.

I have issues that are years old that I still refer to for workout tips.

If your looking for good information on getting in shape then keep looking. There are good health magazines out there with out all the trash talk. Shape is too much junk, with some good health stuff mixed in.
