Letter from the Editor

November 2009

It is with great pleasure that I announce the grand opening of Ensure Fitness: The Free Online Fitness Magazine. A lot of hard work has gone into delivering this website to the online community of fitness-minded individuals and I sincerely believe that the results have been worth the effort.

Back when Ensure Fitness was still just a concept, I knew that I wanted to publish a fitness magazine that offers free fitness articles. But that was not enough. I wanted everyone to have access to these articles without the need to pay, subscribe, or otherwise engage with the website unless the visitor chose to do so.

I toyed with several media choices but eventually decided on a straight html-driven website that is dynamic and scalable to accommodate content and an audience of any size. This was not an easy task. The right programming, the right style, and the right distribution channels all had to work together to ensure that the articles would be available for free from the launch of Ensure Fitness and throughout its life over the next few years and beyond.

I can tell you that a lot of ideas were developed, scrapped, reworked, and sometimes even completely re-conceptualized to produce the website you see before you. Humbly, I hope that all of our visitors find this site both informative and entertaining.

I would like to invite any and all to let me know if there is anything we can do to improve this site. My door is always open to suggestions and comments, both positive and negative. Send me an e-mail and tell me what you like, what you do not like, and what you would like to see change. With your help, we can deliver the kind of free online magazine you would like to see.

Again, it is with great pleasure that I open the doors to Ensure Fitness. May it enjoy a long and prosperous life!
