Pitching Men's Health, step by step
Read the About Men's Health page to see which editors cover fitness, health, food, grooming, gear, and culture.

Lead with evidence: peer-reviewed research, a credentialed expert, or measurable results from a training or nutrition approach.
For products, pitch the relevant commerce or gear editor with what the product does better, price, and availability, and send samples only on request.
Offer an expert who can give specific, safe, actionable advice on the record.
How Men’s Health decides what to cover
Men’s Health, a Hearst title launched in 1986, describes its mission as giving men the tools to improve their lives through in-depth, service-minded journalism. Its About page says editors consult trusted, academically affiliated experts, track peer-reviewed research, and fact-check every print story.
The editorial team is organized by specialty: fitness, health, food and nutrition, grooming, gear and commerce, features, and culture. The magazine also works with an advisory board of medical and fitness experts. Coverage favors evidence and practicality, such as workouts that hold up, nutrition advice grounded in research, and gear that has been tested.
How to pitch Men’s Health
Men’s Health does not publish a public PR pitch inbox, tips page, or brand submission form; its customer service page is for subscriptions. The honest route is to use the About page, which lists editors and their specialties, to find the one person whose beat fits your story, and to pitch them briefly.
Evidence is what moves a Men’s Health editor. A supplement or wellness brand should lead with research and credentialed experts rather than marketing claims. A training method should come with a qualified coach who can explain it and results that are specific. Gear and grooming products go to the relevant commerce editor, who tests products before recommending them; offer samples only when asked.
Experts are often the best entry point. A board-certified physician, registered dietitian, or certified strength coach who can give precise, safe advice is useful to editors across many stories, and that is how many brands’ founders and advisors end up quoted.
Contributed articles and op-eds
Men’s Health does not accept contributed articles or op-eds from brands. Content comes from staff, assigned freelance writers, and expert advisors. For executives, the realistic route is to be quoted as a qualified source or featured in a reported story.
