If you are trying to cancel a Fitness Magazine subscription, report a missing issue, question a charge, or find a customer service number, stop before calling an old number or entering payment information. The U.S. print edition of Fitness ended after its April 2015 issue, and existing readers were moved to Shape beginning with the May 2015 issue. Fitness Magazine no longer has a standalone subscription department.

Fitness Magazine Customer Service Status
Fitness Magazine is not an active standalone U.S. print publication. In a January 2015 announcement, Meredith said it would merge Fitness into Shape and begin producing the expanded Shape with the May 2015 issue. Current readers of both titles were to receive Shape. Industry coverage reported that the final Fitness print issue was April 2015.
The current People Inc. Customer Support directory includes Shape but does not list Fitness as a supported brand. That is why this page does not publish an old Fitness phone number, email address, office address, or contact form as though it were current. Numbers copied from old magazines, renewal notices, directories, or archived press releases may now reach an unrelated department or no longer work.
What Happened to Fitness Magazine Subscriptions?
Fitness readers were transferred to Shape in 2015 rather than kept in a separate Fitness subscription program. If you had prepaid issues remaining at the time, the relevant records would have been associated with that transition. More than a decade has passed, so an old mailing label or payment receipt may be needed if you ask the current publisher to research a historical account.
Do not place a new order based on a website that appears to sell a current U.S. Fitness Magazine subscription without first confirming the publication name, issue format, publisher, renewal terms, and refund policy. A similarly named international publication, app, website, or third-party product is not necessarily the former U.S. magazine covered on this page.
Help With an Old Fitness Magazine Account
- Confirm the date. Determine whether the subscription or payment was from 2015 or earlier, during the transition to Shape, or is a recent transaction.
- Identify who sold it. Check the receipt, card descriptor, PayPal record, app-store history, renewal notice, or mailing label. A subscription agency or marketplace may have controlled the payment.
- Collect evidence. Save the subscriber name, delivery address, account number, order confirmation, amount paid, payment date, and copies of any cancellation requests.
- Use the successor support route. Start with the People Inc. Help Center. Explain that the question concerns a former Fitness Magazine account transferred to Shape in 2015. Very old records may no longer be available.
- Contact the payment provider when necessary. If a recent charge is unauthorized or the identified seller will not resolve it, ask your card issuer, bank, PayPal, Apple, Google, Amazon, or other payment provider about its dispute process and deadline.
Current Shape Magazine Subscription Help
Shape is the closest current successor route, but it has also changed. People Inc. says Shape ceased print publication in 2019 and is now available as a quarterly digital Special Collection. The official support article directs customers to Magazines.com to purchase or manage that digital subscription.
For a current Shape order, use the Shape Magazine support article or Shape on Magazines.com. Check the confirmation email to see which company processed the order. Contacting People Inc. about a Magazines.com billing transaction may result in a referral back to the seller.
What to Do About a New “Fitness Magazine” Charge
A new card charge using the words “Fitness Magazine” should not automatically be treated as a subscription to the former U.S. print title. Statement descriptions can be shortened, and unrelated fitness services may use similar wording. Open the transaction details and look for a merchant phone number, city, website, recurring-payment indicator, and the original purchase date.
Payment safety warning: Do not give a caller your full card number, bank password, one-time code, Social Security number, or remote access to your device. If you do not recognize the merchant, contact the bank through the number on the back of your card or inside the official banking app. Ask whether the card should be locked or replaced and whether a dispute is appropriate.
Old Issues, Articles, Photos, and Reprint Requests
The original publisher is unlikely to provide routine delivery support for a print title that ended in 2015. For a missing secondhand issue or collectible, contact the seller. For research, try a public or university library catalog, a periodicals database, or an established archive. Availability and permitted use depend on the issue and archive.
If you need permission to reproduce a Fitness article, image, cover, or logo, do not assume that buying an old copy includes reuse rights. Start with the People Inc. Help Center and describe the exact content, issue date, page, intended use, territory, and format. The support team may need to route the request, and a response is not guaranteed.
Fitness Magazine Reviews and Complaints
This CustomerServiceNumbers.com page currently has 0 published Fitness Magazine reviews, so there is no star rating or reliable complaint theme to summarize. A review should describe a firsthand experience, including the approximate date, whether the issue involved the former Fitness title, the Shape transition, a third-party seller, or a recent merchant using a similar name.
Do not post subscriber numbers, full mailing labels, payment-card details, email addresses, phone numbers, or other private information in a public review. Reviews posted here are not sent to People Inc., Shape, a subscription seller, or a bank and do not replace a direct cancellation, refund, or billing request.
How to Escalate a Fitness Magazine Problem
- Write down the exact publication or merchant name, transaction date, amount, account number, and requested resolution.
- Contact the company that accepted the payment. For a current Shape digital order, begin with the seller shown on the confirmation or statement.
- For a historical Fitness-to-Shape question, use People Inc. support and clearly state the approximate subscription year.
- Keep screenshots, emails, mailing labels, cancellation confirmations, and the names and dates of support contacts.
- If a recent payment remains unresolved, contact the payment provider before its dispute window closes.
