Our Company Mission: At first glance, the Bodybuilding.com web site may seem pretty overwhelming. There is a lot there! In fact, if you counted every article, every product page, every forum thread, every BodySpace profile and everything else, you would see that we have nearly a million individual web pages, just waiting for you to click. Where do you even start? Do we really need all of this? We did not simply add features simply because we could. Each section was created for a specific purpose.
 The Bodybuilding.com Web Site May Seem Pretty Overwhelming.
It's important to understand what makes a person successful when trying to gain muscle, lose fat, or just get into better shape. With all of the different diets and programs available, it can seem like getting in shape requires a Master's degree in physiology just to know where to start! The major problem is that marketers and media outlets make a lot of money trying to push the latest and greatest diet or workout fad. Every day we hear about some new ab machine or low-carb/high-carb/medium-carb diet plan. Many times, the programs completely contradict each other! Is it really that difficult to get into shape?
The truth is that getting into shape is VERY simple. The big secret that everybody is looking for is something that everybody already knows, but nobody really wants to believe it. The truth is that getting in shape simply requires a person to follow a sensible diet, workout, and supplement plan over the long-term. That's it! If you workout consistently and eat right, you'll "magically" get results and look better than 95% of the population. The keys to bodybuilding and fitness success are: 1. Information: You need to know what to eat, what workouts to follow, what supplements to take, and more so you don't waste your time and effort with misinformation. Information can come from experts (doctors, trainers, or pros) or social networks (friends, people that have had success, online community members, or people with your same goal). 2. Motivation: You need to be able to get motivated enough to start your program and then stick to it for the rest of your life. Fitness is not a "12 week plan". It is a lifestyle. Motivation is the most important part of any program. It's 90% mental and 10% physical. Your body doesn't decide to get off the couch and do your cardio, your brain does. 3. Supplementation: Supplements are an important part simply because they can help you get faster results from your diet and workout program. They are not magic, but they can help you reach your goals quicker, which will help keep you motivated. The right supplements will not only help you gain muscle and lose fat, but they will help you feel better, and stay healthy.
If you know what type of workout and diet program to follow, take the right supplements, and stay motivated, there is no doubt that you will have the body that you want and all of the health benefits that go along with it. Our entire site is designed to help you with these three keys to success.
We have six main areas of our site. Each of them was developed for a specific purpose, relating to the three keys to fitness success:
