Men's Health (MH), published by Rodale Inc. in Emmaus, Pennsylvania, United States, is the world’s largest men’s magazine brand, with 38 editions around the world, a monthly circulation of 1.85 million, and 12 million monthly readers. It is the best-selling men's magazine on U.S. newsstands.

It covers fitness, nutrition, sexuality, lifestyle and other aspects of men's life and health. The magazine’s website, MensHealth.com, averages 40 million page views a month. Launched in 1987 as a health-oriented service magazine by founding editor Mark Bricklin, Men’s Health has evolved into more of a lifestyle magazine for men, covering all aspects of a guy’s life: health, fitness, fashion, nutrition, relationships, travel, technology, fashion and finance.

Stephen Perrine, the magazine’s former editorial creative director, once summed up the breadth of the magazine’s coverage as follows: “I don’t have problems. I have story ideas.” David Zinczenko has been the editor-in-chief of Men’s Health since 2000. Jack Essig is the publisher.

During this period the magazine’s circulation has grown 30 percent, and ad pages have grown 80 percent, from 700 pages to 1150. In 2004, Zinczenko began putting celebrities and athletes on the cover exclusively, and with their shirts on—a big departure from the cover look of the 1990s. In May 2006, the magazine published a limited edition color cover of Josh Holloway.

For its 20th Anniversary issue in November 2008, Men's Health scored its biggest cover get ever with their exclusive interview and photo shoot with future President-elect Barack Obama. "Obama understands that Men's Health has a massive reach and when you want to get a message to men, there's no better place to communicate with them than within the pages of our magazine," said Editor-In-Chief David Zinczenko. "And he's the prototypical Men's Health guy: fit successful, a good dad, a good husband, and a guy who could put up big numbers on the electoral board, and the backboard.

He was a natural for the cover of the magazine during this important time for our nation.".
