We receive feedback, kudos and thanks for Experience Life everyday. Here are just a few we'd like to share.

What readers say ...

Wow! I bought your magazine on a whim today, enticed by Dara Torres. I thought she was in her 20s ans was wowed when I read the article and found out that she is 41! Go for the gold, Dara! Your magazine is the first magazine I have ever read from cover to cover in one sitting. It has everything I need to help me with my fitness goals and my personal and professional goals. Thanks!

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!

What the experts say ...

Experience Life magazine offers a refreshingly new approach to whole health. The look is sharp, the content is cutting edge, and the articles tell the truth about what it takes to build a great body and a great life. So if you're tired of the same old fads or "quick fix" gimmicks that most fitness magazines offer, pick up a copy of Experience Life and see what it takes to create real, long-lasting success!
