Nineteen years ago SWEAT Magazine emerged to fill a need. Arizona amateur athletes, fitness buffs and recreational sport fans needed a place to turn to for event info, event results, profiles on amateur jocks, new product reviews and news of the Arizona athletic and fitness community. Often quoted and referenced by other media, SWEAT has evolved into the state’s most respected source of participatory event information, fitness and recreation opportunities as well as a leader in wellness trends and issues. Along the way, SWEAT has won kudos from its readers and awards from sports councils, industry trade groups and its media peers. The magazine’s quality editorial and design have been recognized nationally. While our walls are covered with plaques and expressions of gratitude, it is the daily input from our avid readers that keeps our publication on target. They fax, call, write, email and stop us on the streets to tell us what they love, hate and want to see in SWEAT’s pages.
