 Good magaznie - Don't buy it from Amazon
I love this magazine. It's always been one of my favorites. However, I ordered it from Amazon over 11 weeks ago... it still hasn't arrived! My order status has said "shipped" for a week. I would strongly advise buying it somewhere else!
Has nothing to do with fitness anymore
I started reading Shape back in 03 when I went to college and I wanted to stay on a healthy track. It was great and had tons of fitness articles and helped me perfect my form. Since then its simply become all about beauty and fashion with maybe a little bit of fitness mixed in. And the fashion isn't even that good, who wants to spend $100 on a pair of workout pants? I don't. What is most sad is that its extremely repetitive, it shows the same movements different girl maybe on a beach or in a field somewhere. I'm still trying to figure out why all of a sudden the buff toned models they once had grace the covers have been replaced with frail, thin untoned celebrities.
 good motivator
I find that getting a fitness magazine every month helps me to keep up my motivation to stay healthy and workout/eat right. Shape is nice because it has new recipes/health news/workouts each month, which keeps me from getting bored with my routine...I can just pick up something new to spice things up! I would probably rate it similarly to Fitness magazine or Women's Health (though Women's Health has more non-workout related content, I would say).
That said, it is very irritating that I see the magazine on news stands weeks before it actually comes in the mail. It's obviously a better deal (financially) to get a subscription than to buy it full price every month, but it is annoying to have to wait extra time to get the magazine. In total, though, I would say it is worth it.
 For Youth and Fitness
Lots of workouts (better than Self Mag) and the fashion suggestions are pretty good too.
Shape...
This is an average magazine. It has the miracle weight loss stories and the celebrity how-tos. There are actually some really good tips for weight loss and keeping it off with exercise. Some of the exercise examples are easy but most need to done at a gym.
