THE OFFICIAL MAGAZINE OF
CANADA’S HEALTH, FITNESS AND LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE
as marketers know, the healthy living industry is one of the fastest growing sectors of the economy, with more and more newcomers making their first commitment to their
own health and wellbeing. this is the world of optimyz magazine. optimyz puts an end to fitness stereotypes and welcomes people looking for credible information in an open and holistic editorial envi-ronment.
as marketers also know, the health and fitness movement is now influencing many industries, including food, travel, clothing, footwear, entertainment. health concerns also drive the environ-mental movement, which in turn is pushing traditional products like homes and automobiles to become more health oriented and also to reduce their impact on the environment.
optimyz fuses superior health, fitness, nutrition, and lifestyle information into a magazine six times a year. optimyz is mailed directly to the homes of paid subscribers. advertisers gain high readership numbers with more than 250,000 readers per issue. optimyz is also available on more than 3,500 newsstands across Canada (see page 5 for more details). it has quickly become one of the leading healthy living magazines in Canada. and its unique editorial package targeted at both a male and female reader has made it the most distinctive fitness-health-lifestyle publication in Canada.
Readers are educated, affluent, and focused. they tend to be opinion leaders within their social groups. Uniquely, more than 95% of subscribers are goodlife fitness health club members.
advertisers will gain solid circulation numbers, low CPm, and a high-quality magazine vehicle to reach a highly desirable market. most important, advertisers’ messages will gain presence in a “keep it real” environment that appeal to the hearts and minds of its readers.
We welcome advertisers that believe in the brand and are committed to fitness, health, and living better.
sincerely,
