## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Interesting book, good history
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2014*

This was a very interesting overview of fitness sports in the US.  I would have liked it to go into more detail with some of the history, but on the whole, it was fairly thorough and gave a good timeline of fitness sports in the US.  I have the Kindle edition and trying to find the few pictures in the book of some of the older fitness personalities such as Jack Lalane, to show my wife, was pretty much impossible.  If they were set out in a separate section or indexed, it would have helped.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    The fascinating history of fitness in the US
  

*by K***Y on Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2021*

If you are a P.E. teacher you must read this book.Your students deserve to learn how fitness was born and popularized in this country. Athletes of all sports and fitness enthusiasts will love it.The book is overflowing with fascinating facts and stories about the many personalities that have made up the fitness industry in the U.S. Weightlifting, gyms, media, Presidential Fitness Awards, Olympics, aerobics and Pilates and all the key players are covered in this engaging book.I loved learning that people have been worrying about how fat and out of shape Americans are since the 1950s. Despite the work of these pioneers, the problem has only gotten worse!The author is a great writer and this work of nonfiction that reads as easily as a novel. It is organized by decades from the 1900s to the 1990s.
