Hi
Initial response was what a clear page, dominated by a next to unreadable site map, it would be possible I'm sure to group the site map into Routines, books, links etc and lessen the impact, so that your site name/purpose takes the eye first. The use of hyperlinks while useful, doesn't aid readability, certainly when there are too many in a paragragh, this is hightlighted by the difference in the first paragragh, cluttered and the second very clearly focussed on three important links. The lower half of the page works much better in showing links related to information.
All the best

Whoa, takes far too long to load. Trellix seems to produce far too much overhead in the code, and the resulting page position of elements isn't really that good. If you look at other sites, even Webproworld, the search field is located out of the main content area. Your search field breaks up the flow of the text. Micro size navigation at the top doesn't help readability either. CSS allows you to position these elements, so my suggestion is to place them so they aid visual flow. Cleaning your page code should speed load time by a large factor.

And the visual flow isn't all that good. One paragraph "ad blitzes" lead to catalog pages. I realize you're trying to jimmy SE rank, but what happens when the user lands on tha page? The layout makes for confusing navigation, even if a user did want to buy something, they'd have their job cut out finding it. Many users will take one look and the site and determine you'll use their e-mail address for spam rather than a newsletter with body building information. Giving users information they want gets you the sales you want.

The site is jammed to the busting point with SE gimmicks. Empty filler content is merely keeping search phrases from running together. When the user lands on the page they find no customer centered web copy (which would be SE friendly). The site is so user unfriendly in so many ways, I'd suggest a complete redesign. Take some ideas from magazine sites like Flex. Organize the many links so they fall under large general categories which serve user objectives. Add information which makes users want to buy what you're selling, not hyperbole and obvious self interest.
