AFM’s Mission

“To educate, motivate, and inspire people and communities to live a healthier lifestyle through a balance of health, fitness and nutrition.”

Scope and Tone:

Austin Fit Magazine is a media company whose content is characterized as a family-friendly, lifestyle, health and fitness series of platforms. While our digital magazine and website have a significant reach and frequency, our primary focus is on the communities of central Texas.  Content for our website is time-based and less formal with content refreshed daily. Our magazine is monthly and is delivered digitally on the first of each month. Its content is archived and available indefinitely.

We have a deep respect for your expertise and experience and that is why we feel strongly about the intrinsic benefit of sharing your knowledge. We understand the power of creativity and so appreciate your literary choices. That said, we would appreciate your adhering to our editorial guidelines.
