He founded the long-running magazine publishing company Macfadden Publications.He was the predecessor of Charles Atlas and Jack LaLanne; together they shaped the American cultural trend of "obsession with diet, health and fitness".
However, Macfadden himself thought it best "to live a wholesome, rational life, and to forget the body as much as possible."
