About the Magazine
Gender-specific media is archaic; magazines like ‘Men’s Fitness’ and ‘Elle’ are out of touch with society – what makes one article male and another female? The Super-A Magazine is next generation publishing, chronicling the stories of like-minded people – male or female – who are emerging and inspiring all of us, ranging in topics from fitness and lifestyle to wellbeing and news; all through the lens of the Super-A ‘Tribe’. The Magazine will provide access to the latest products, forward-thinking technology, and much, much more.
