RE: I heard they went under
If that's the case, let's hope their subscriber (me included) get the new magazine. Phooey!

RE: what happened to fit
I bought the first two issues on the stands because I'm a magazine junkie. The magazine is a disappointment because it is one big plug for Bill Phillips Body for Life/EAS empire. I think others have posted with the same opinion elsewhere. I will say, though, that some of the success stories are interesting, even though you can predict that they'll attribute their success to the EAS products.
There are two other magazines that just appeared that purport to be about women's health and fitness. One is called Women's Fitness Rx or some such thing, and I can't remember what the other is called. Both were disappointing and both were chock-full of ads, including the ubiquitous Hydroxycut testimonial.
Let's ask Cathe to expand her empire by starting a magazine! Even a quarterly newsletter would be great!

I still like Men's Health the best because of their weight lifting features. They have cooking stuff once in a while....it's my favorite magazine. I'm excited because my new one came in the mail today! Also the latest issue of FIT. I guess they didn't suspend publication after all.
Energy
Hi, I tried reading Energy too. When I read the 1st issue I just thought it was a coincidence that they kept mentioning EAS/Body-for-Life stuff. When I saw the same pattern in the 2nd issue, I got annoyed. It's not like these are cheap mags! You don't know if you're reading a legit article or an ad. Some of the info is good, but it's still a turnoff.
When I went to Borders, there were 2 or 3 "premiere" issues of fitness mags out- they seemed the same as Energy though.
That's why sometimes I just like plain old "Fitness"- some fluff, but it's still entertaining.
