Ok first thing I notice is the design - you need to make it a little bit more appealing. its a fitness site, so perhaps some graphics etc to make it more "alive".

Personally I'd use a different theme, it's a little too distracting having these boxes everywhere and that striped background.
Not trying to be negative, just giving my honest opinion

Thanks for the honest feedback, I will start to look around for a more laid back theme, do you think it would be better to look for a free one, or should I just pay a little bit of money and get a more professional looking one? I will also try to add some more graphics to the site to improve the appearance.



How would you guys rate the placement of my ads?

I think you should add a photo of yourself looking fit and healthy so your readers can see how your advice could benefit them. After all, you wouldn't take fitness advice from a fat guy, and until you add your photo we don't know that you're not a slob Seriously though, a photo will help you to build trust with your readers.

You should probably use a smaller ad size and get your sidebar to match the width of the ads.

With a better layout, i'm sure you'll have more visitors stay.
Blend your ads, maybe even embed some into the content.

Your on the right track, keep it up!:yes:

By the way, the width of the ads don't match that of the side bar.

OK, I changed the theme, and I am still working on fixing the ads. How do you embed and blend the ads into the site?

Thanks for all of your help!

Love the topic and the name, but I want to see some power in the logo. Show a graphic (even a stock photo) that slaps a visitor in the face.

A logo and a picture would improve the bog dramatically. Good luck!
