Dennis Publishing has acquired Health & Fitness magazine from rival group Hubert Burda Media.

Health & Fitness, which is a female-focused title, had an ABC audited circulation of 35,436 in the first half of last year.

Dennis's portfolio already included Men's Fitness, which it acquired in the UK and Ireland in September, having published it under licence from American Media since 2001.

The editorial and advertising teams of Health & Fitness will join as Dennis Publishing employees and will move to the company's headquarters.

The editorial director of Men's Fitness, Pete Muir, will expand his role to include the second magazine.

The sum of money involved in the deal was not disclosed.
