Weider Health & Fitness
 PROFILE
Weider Health & Fitness wants to pump you up while it pumps out profits with the cross-promotional muscle of its two major subsidiaries. Weider Nutrition International (WNI) sells nutritional supplements, sports drinks, and energy bars. It is strongly supported by sister subsidiary Weider Publications, which produces sports and fitness magazines -- including its circulation leaders "Shape", "Men's Fitness", and "Flex" -- and also operates FitnessOnline.com, a health and fitness information, tools, and support provider. The company controls over 90% of publicly owned WNI; the publications division remains private. The company was started in 1939 by Mr. Olympia contest co-founders Joe and Ben Weider.
