With all the so-called health magazines out there, I believe that your magazine is one of the few truly authentic ones. Keep up the good work! I love receiving, reading and learning from your magazine. I’ve made changes in
my life because of it. Each issue has something to think about, act upon and be
challenged by. At almost 57, I, too, have benefited from each issue. The
articles have been practical, useful and inspirational. Having nearly died twice
— once from a motorcycle accident, once from non-Hodgkins lymphoma — I have
learned that having a body prepared for the unexpected may keep you alive.
Although I am not a specimen of male perfection, my good diet and exercise
program probably enabled my body to hang on during both ordeals. Thank you for putting out such a great magazine. I used to read Hollywood gossip
magazines over breakfast and they would just tear me down and give me a negative
image about myself. Ever since I switched to your magazine, I have begun
each day on such a lighter note! The articles are full of good things to know,
but most importantly they are uplifting and get me motivated to have naturally
healthy days. Thank you!! Nice job. Helpful, thought-provoking and entertaining. I never thought I’d find
a “fitness” magazine interesting to read. I’m a 49-year-old family man who
finally woke up. I’ve never been physically fit in my whole adult life. Pudgy
throughout. Now Experience Life is changing that and I feel great. I’m often
told, “You can’t possibly be old enough to have a 21-year-old son!” It’s fun to
“be” younger. I recently received a complimentary issue of Experience Life and think I’ve
found the perfect magazine. It’s the best blend of fitness and lifestyle
information that I’ve come across in a long time — an amalgam of Utne Reader magazine,
Fast Food Nation and a fitness magazine all rolled up in one. Thank you! I just received my fourth issue of Experience Life and I wanted to say thank
you. Your magazine has helped me to realize that merely living life is not
enough and that experiencing it to the fullest is a whole lot better. I have
learned to take everything a day at a time, and I even enjoy exercising now! What a great magazine! I was an avid reader of Men’s Health for years but have
switched to Experience Life — both for the content and the applicability to my
family. I like that EL has more wholesome content, more in-depth research and
more comprehensive subject-matter expertise. It leaves the reader feeling
educated (vs. opined). EL also gravitates toward a broader audience:
male/female, younger/older, athletic/intelligent (not that this last pair is
mutually exclusive!). Finally, EL’s layout is easy to read (spacing, coloration,
etc.). Men’s Health sometimes tries to place too much data in one issue and that
can get a bit overwhelming. It’s quality over quantity, in my opinion. You are
doing a great job! I had to write to tell you how much I enjoy your magazine. The amazing thing
about this is that you are the only magazine that has ever captured my
attention. I have always valued health and exercise, and at age 40, I have
gained an interest in a more comprehensive understanding of good food and
exercise so I can teach my children to live a healthy life. I even share your
articles with others that can appreciate them. Thanks for being able to do what
no other magazine has done! Your magazine is excellent. It is so refreshing to read articles that are based
on modern concerns for health and the world that don’t push the latest fad or
craze. I appreciate the “real people, real concerns” focus you have, and the
articles are well researched and give the reader a chance to think for him- or
herself, then get into action. Very inspiring! It is such a pleasure and often an enlightening experience to become
absorbed in the quality articles that fill this magazine. For my summer
vacation, I packed several back issues that I hadn't had a chance to read cover
to cover. The well-researched and inspirational advice was a perfect complement
to the crashing ocean waves and truly helped me to restore and renew myself. On
the train ride back home, I used many of these concepts to create a
blueprint for a more healthy and balanced lifestyle. Thanks for continually
working hard to produce this great publication. I love your magazine — I read it cover to cover every time! I am a
marathoner as well as a physical therapist, and I feel that your articles are
very entertaining, as well as educational. I continue to be impressed by your magazine. Not only do you provide depth to
your articles, you pick topics that other magazines don't address that get to
the core issues of being healthy, fit, happy and confident. I read each issue
from cover to cover, and I am amazed how much you look outside the box of
conventional thinking and how much your philosophy mirrors my own as a
healthy-lifestyle coach. You guys do a great job of covering all areas of health and wellness. I'm an
Ironman triathlete, so that stuff is important to me. I look forward to every
issue. A few months ago, my wife picked up a copy of your magazine at a local
bookstore. She was looking for a way to relax, get some good health tips, and,
most of all, feel like she had a support system via podcasts, blogs and other
outreach programs. Well, you certainly fit the bill; my wife was hooked. She
asked me to read an article about Sara Snow (Coverage,
January/February 2008), and I could not put your magazine down. I now go to the
mailbox with anticipation, hoping to get Experience Life before my wife
notices. Perhaps I shouldn't give you my real name for fear that my cover will
be blown! I just signed up for an additional two years — for my wife, of
course! I don't think I've ever read such a motivational magazine for my age group
(over 50 or so). Thanks! I am a high school health teacher and subscribe to your magazine because I
appreciate the positive, realistic view of the "whole life." It is so difficult
to find a relevant health magazine that is appropriate and healthy for young,
developing adults. Experience Life is a breath of fresh air. I am most
excited that I recently found a back issue in my kids' bathroom with the pages
folded back. You see, my two pre-teen daughters are also reading and benefiting
from your professionalism. As a teacher and a dad, I thank you. Thank you for publishing such an excellent magazine. One very positive
characteristic that I've noted is a holistic approach to life without the
materialistic basis. I recently discovered your magazine and Web site, and I'm loving it! Thank
you for the wonderful articles and information. I feel like everything I care
about is wrapped up into one easy-to-read package. I especially appreciate your
focus on green and sustainable living. Thanks, and keep up the good
work. I wanted to thank you for creating such a wonderful magazine. I have received
many, many magazines over the years — from Organic Gardening to
Prevention and so on. Your magazine is the most well written and
contains the best articles of any magazine that I have read dealing with
personal and health issues. I really enjoy it. Outstanding magazine! The information is invaluable to those of us who want
to grow strong both mentally and physically. It's packed with common sense, and
to me that's what makes a solid foundation for a balanced life: instructive,
educational and reliable facts. I'm looking forward to the next issue and
beyond. I wish you and your talented staff continued success! I was just browsing your site and found your mag's "digital edition." Wow!
Finally, online editorial content that presents information as it was meant to
be consumed! Extremely progressive! Love it! I'd like to compliment you and your entire staff on your magazine — it is
really outstanding! I find the content to be wonderfully varied,
speaking to
readers who may be avid athletes to those who are just
getting started. Your
integration of mind-body concepts has been
eye-opening for me and my family, and
the layout is attractive and easy
to read. Thanks for continually producing a
great magazine — you've
done a terrific job. This is my very first letter to a magazine ever. I just want to thank you
very much for what you're doing. I've been receiving Experience
Life
for about three years now, and I read every issue cover to
cover. I really,
really enjoy it, and I've brought many ideas from it
to my life and my family.
I love your magazine. I've been reading a garden variety of health
publications for years. Experience Life offers a unique
collection of
articles that are interesting, informative and have a
great way of sparking
interest in old and new areas. I even found
myself causing a buzz at work about
quinoa after reading your article
("Quinoa," March 2008). Keep up the good work!
I picked up your publication for the first time at my hair salon — what a
great magazine! Most magazines that focus on holistic living, while I
love
them all, don't speak to the average person easing
him/herself
into a clean
living lifestyle. Kudos to you for
bridging the gap!
Your magazine is the best around! I am like so many other readers who read
your issues cover to cover and enjoy aspects of each issue. I
especially want to
thank you for the noticeable absence of prescription
drug advertisements. I
don't know if this is a conscious decision or
simply a happenstance, but with
the overwhelming majority of doctors,
public health officials, news media, TV
shows, magazines and other
advertising sources urging us to consider drug
therapies as a
requirement, your magazine is a breath of fresh air. Not only do
your
articles promote helathy alternatives (including the all-important
preventative care), but your advertising content seems to support this.
What a
brave and refreshing choice! One year ago I visited my sister. I was feeling lost in my workouts and went
with her to Life Time Fitness saying, "Show me what you do." After an
hour of
working out and catching up, I had a new cardio plan that
contributed to a new
path for my life. As we were sipping a postworkout
drink in the cafe, I noticed
your magazine; a month later, I had my own
subscription, which has pushed me
along my journey with ideas for
training, eating and achieving goals. In a few
months, I lost 10
pounds, became the fittest I've ever been in my 35 years,
changed my
diet and hired a coach to help me prepare for my first competitive
season in beach volleyball! Your articles support our choices to truly
experience life with plenty of food for thought as we navigate our own
paths.
I am just now getting to your November 2007 issue (I got
a bit
behind last year — oops), and I just finished
reading a
letter you
printed from a woman who refers
to Experience
Life as "a
glossy,
superficial
magazine" and who ends her
comments with "I am
insulted by the
patronizing, superior tone
of this article, but I have
to say it is
characteristic of
your publication." I
have been meaning
to write to you for
some time, but
this letter finally pushed me to do
it. I don't
know why this
woman is so angry, but I have to say that I
have
never found a magazine that is
less superficial or
patronizing
than yours. I used to read other fitness
magazines, but I was
really
tired of all the articles
about how exercising will
make your sex life
better
and how you can eat all the crappy
food you want as
long as
you
don't go over some ridiculously
low — not to
mention unhealthy — number of
calories.
When I first stumbled upon your magazine, I was
immediately
drawn to
the cover, which featured a woman who
radiated
health and beauty (I
believe it was the
January/February 2006 issue), rather than the
typical
toothpicky, no-muscle-tone models that are on the front of all
the
other
so-called fitness magazines. I read that
first issue from
cover to cover, and
then I couldn't rest
until I figured out
how to get
a subscription. I have
thoroughly enjoyed every issue I have
read since
(including
the
article entitled "A Better Birth,"
which this woman
seemed so upset by — it was
truly informative
and
helped me to decide
how my children will be born when that
time comes for me). I want to
say thank you, thank you,
thank you, for such
an outstanding
publication! I
think you people are doing a very wonderful
thing
with
this
magazine. I have become so much
healthier due to the excellent
nutrition and fitness articles
you write; I have become more
aware of
environmental issues
(more "green" if you will); and I am now
looking
into a
major career change from CPA to Life Coach due
in part to the
inspiration I have
received reading your
magazine.
Once again, thank
you so much for all you
do! I just finished flipping through the “Green” issue of EL. WOW! I couldn’t put
the thing down! You have addressed so many of my interests and concerns that I
am going to have to take an afternoon off just to read it all. I also discovered
what I am, and what most of my family and friends are: LOHAS-ians. If we can
convince people to take better care of themselves and the world around them,
perhaps there is hope for us after all. I just wanted to let you know that I was blown away by the January/February
2005 issue of Experience Life. I read a lot of magazines, and I’ve never seen
one with so much excellent and relevant information in a single issue. The
topics were very interesting and go deeper than other publications. I was so
impressed that I have shared it with several of my friends, and they were all
equally impressed. I have to commend you on this magazine. I just got around to reading the
January/February 2004 edition and am very impressed with the caliber
and range
of the articles and authors. I actually read it cover to
cover and was able to
pull something helpful out of each article. I
truly see this as a useful tool to
my training program and not just
another magazine. Thanks, and keep up the great
work! I am pleased with my membership at Life Time Fitness. I think Experience Life
is a great asset to the membership. It features great articles about fitness,
health, nutrition and things that matter, unlike a lot of wanna-be magazines
that have really watered-down material.
