History edit

Women's Health was created in 2005 by Rodale[4][5] as a sister publication of Men's Health magazine. Bill Stump, a former Men’s Health editor, who was at the time the head of Rodale Inc.’s 'New Product Development department, led the launch. The magazine's founding editor-in-chief was Kristina Johnson, previously the original executive editor of Teen People.[6] In 2008, David Zinczenko, editor-in-chief of Men's Health magazine, was named editorial director of Women's Health.[7][8] In March 2009, Jack Essig, SVP/Publisher of Men's Health, was named SVP/Publisher of Women's Health.[9]

Women's Health is published in 14 countries: the United States, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Latin America, China, Germany, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Thailand, and Turkey.[10] The German edition of the magazine was launched in April 2011.[11] A South African version was launched alongside its own Men's Health magazine, which was issued a license for publication by Media24, with distribution by Magzter.[12]

Rodale was acquired by Hearst in 2018.[13]

Bauer Media Australia and New Zealand published Women's Health's Australian edition. In July 2020, Bauer Media's Australia and New Zealand operations were acquired by the Sydney investment firm Mercury Capital, which put the magazine on a "pause" in the region due to "declining advertising revenue and travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic."[14][15][16]

The Polish edition, launched in 2013, ceased publication in 2023.

Health DVDs and books edit

Women's Health has also produced DVDs marketed to aid in weight loss, toning, and physical conditioning. The DVDs include Look, Better Naked, Ultimate Abs Workout, The Tone-up Workout, The Wedding Workout, and Train for Your Body Type.

The DVD’s also have accompanying health and fitness books. Titles include The Women's Health Diet, The Big Book of Exercises, The Big Book of Abs, Look Better Naked, and Six Weeks to Skinny Jeans.[17]

Awards and recognition edit

In 2012, Women's Health was ranked #4 on Adweek Media's "Hot List" and #2 on Advertising Age's annual "A-List". Both recognize magazines for their performance in advertising and circulation.[18] In March 2008, Women’s Health finished #1 on Adweek's "10 under 50" Hot List. The magazine was named #2 on Advertising Age's 2008 A List. In 2009, the magazine was named "Magazine of the Year" by Advertising Age. In 2011, Women's Health won a National Magazine Award for "General Excellence".[19] The brand was named one of Ad Age's "Magazines of the year" in both 2017 and 2018, and was nominated for a National Magazine Award for "magazine section" in 2016 and for "personal service" in 2017.
