Dating site for fitness dates and exercise friends
Over 3 million members worldwide
40% Female | 60% Male
If you’ve ever used a dating app or website, you probably scrolled through endless singles claiming to love the outdoors and exercising. You can be honest, how many times did you roll your eyes? That’s because every person that occasionally rides their bike claims to be into fitness.
That’s not the type of “fitness” person you’re looking for. You’re interested in someone that really cares about a fitness lifestyle as much as you do—as in they adhere to a strict diet, go to the gym 4-5 times per week, enjoy playing sports regularly, running marathons, waking up early to go on runs, etc. You don’t want someone that just goes on a hike every once and a while, you want to share a lifestyle that’s outgoing and consistent.
That’s when Fitness Singles comes to save the day. Fitness Singles is a niche dating site specifically designed with a fitness lifestyle in mind. Here, you can meet singles and engage in physical activities together—going on runs, going to the gym together, playing tennis, and so on. On Fitness Singles, you can find people that like to do the same fitness activities as you because each profile tells you which kind of fitness skills they possess.

The sign-up process on Fitness Singles doesn’t differ much from other dating sites. You create your own username and password, plus some basic information about yourself such as who you are and who you’re interested in. What sets Fitness Singles apart from other dating sites is that you need to select three physical activities that you enjoy doing the most.
To complete the registration process, you must answer questions regarding your lifestyle, preferences, hobbies, and so on. You don’t have to answer every question if you don’t want to. Instead, you can simply select “Rather Not Say.” After that is complete, you just need to upload a photo of yourself from your computer. It must be high quality for the site to approve the photo.
Lastly, you need to write a little bit about yourself in the bio section. You don’t have to write much but we would recommend sharing as much about yourself as you’re comfortable with. This enables other members to get a glimpse of your personality and will most likely help you match with more members. It also gives you more topics to talk about when you start having conversations.
With over 2 million members within the United States, Fitness Singles has certainly done well for itself as a niche dating site for people that like to exercise. Turns out, there are a lot of fitness junkies and outdoor enthusiasts just like you that want a partner to work out or play sports with.
While Fitness Singles may seem like a dating site that attracts a younger demographic, we saw plenty of singles in their 40s and 50s on the platform. There are people that most members would consider “unfit” on the site and they’re looking for a relationship with someone who takes exercise more seriously. Considering most members signed up to find like-minded singles who are in the same shape as them, unfit singles have a more difficult time on the app.
Fitness Singles does not have much of a matchmaking feature, meaning they don’t connect you with like-minded singles by employing an algorithm. You don’t take a personality questionnaire or anything like that. Instead, it’s up to you to find singles in your area by using the search directory. You’ll be able to narrow down your search by performing a “Custom Search” or “Basic Search.” With the former, you can search by age, distance, and other specific preferences. While Basic Search is very broad in terms of the type of singles you can search for.
Then there are the “Who’s Next” and “Who’s Online” tabs that you check out too. You can also work your way up to the “Top 25” list, which is the best of the best when it comes to Fitness Singles members. You can always try to match with the people on this list. To match with another user, it’s important to state what kind of activity you enjoy doing, how often you do it, and what time. Members are looking for someone to work out with, go on runs with, or play sports with at certain times, so this information is vital.
Essentially, Fitness Singles is a paid subscription service, meaning most of the useful features require you to pay a monthly fee. This is quite normal for niche dating sites of this nature and enables you to send and receive emails, instant message one another, and view every member’s profile photos. With the standard free service, you are limited to “Showing Interest” in members. Furthermore, with the premium service, you can register your mobile number to receive SMS notifications when you are away from your computer. This helps you keep in communication while out and about or traveling.
Fitness Singles doesn’t currently have an application, but you can use the website on your mobile device’s browser. You can also sign up to receive SMS messages that are forwarded to your phone.
While it would certainly improve the overall experience, Fitness Singles doesn’t have a mobile app quite yet. If you can get past that and its website that looks a little dated, there’s still a lot to like. For starters, it’s a large community of fit people that want to enjoy working out with other people. Oftentimes, people find each other on Fitness Singles, meet up to exercise, and then slowly build a relationship over time. If you live in a populated area, you shouldn’t have any problems finding matches on the platform. You may have to be patient when looking for someone that has the same passion for the same activities, but then again, most dating apps take some time to find that perfect somebody.
