The Magazine

As Australia's premier health and fitness magazine, Women's Health & Fitness (formerly known as Women's Fitness & Health) is devoted to the promotion of a healthier and more fulfilling way of life.

Headed by former World Aerobics Champion and fitness icon Sue Stanley, Women's Health & Fitness caters for women who value the benefits of a healthy and active life.

Supported by a panel of industry stalwarts, including nutritionists, dietitians, naturopaths, lifecoaches, exercise scientists and personal trainers, Women's Health & Fitness thrives on its ability to provide real advice for real women. The combined skills and insights of these experts is enhanced by an in-house team of editors and journalists who are committed to producing engaging, informative and innovative articles across all aspects of the industry.

Not only does this maximise reader loyalty and circulation, but it creates a receptive environment in which the reader is eager to examine new products and advertising features across a diversity of sections including nutrition, health, sex and relationships, natural therapies, training, supplementation, fashion and beauty. In recent years, the magazine has broadened its scope to incorporate all aspects of a healthy lifestyle, from the constant thirst for self-improvement to the eternal quest for body bliss.

This mix has been fundamental for a dramatic growth in size and readership. Fundamental to this success has been the development of a range of new sections including fashion, beauty and lifestyle, as well as the continual popularity of the 12-Week BodyBlitz Challenge, which attracts 2500 entrants annually.

This, along with our regular features ensures that our readers are never short of inspiration.
