Fitness Singles Review
Nationally recognized by popular television shows like Today, Good Morning America and USA Today, Fitness Singles welcomes anyone that has a passion for exercise, sports and fitness. The homepage of this online dating site has a large photo of a smiling couple running up numerous steps against a beautiful oceanside background. Fitness Singles is ideal for singles that are looking for exercise buddies, fitness dates, as well as a permanent relationship. Since it is one of the largest fitness dating sites with over two million members, you are likely to meet someone on Fitness Singles that enjoys the same activities that you do regardless of the type of sport you enjoy.
How it works
To join this community of fitness enthusiasts, you will need to construct a profile. Your first task is to select your favorite fitness activities like archery, dancing, skateboarding and basketball from a drop-down menu. Then you can select the level of experience you have in that particular sport like novice, beginner, intermediate or pro. You will also have the opportunity to add other information such as body type, ethnicity, marital status, occupation and yearly income.
Afterwards, you can create a short profile headline that will draw attention to your profile. You will also have the chance to write a personal description about the fitness activities you enjoy so others can determine if you would make a good match for them. Finish your profile by adding up to 40 photos to your profile, which should include your favorite athletic activities.
Once you have completed your Fitness Singles profile, you will be able to search through the profiles for your perfect match. With a basic membership, you can do a quick search by selecting filters like gender, country or zip code. You can also do a customizable search by selecting up to 20 other filters like diet, fitness activities, fitness activity frequency and relationship status. Other types of searches available on Fitness Singles includes Who’s New, Whose Online and Top 25 Males/Females on the site.
Another way you may be able to find a partner is with the My Matches feature, which shows you members that Fitness Singles feels would make good matches for you based on the initial criteria you selected. If you see someone that you would like to get to know better, you can save his or her profile so you are notified when they come online.
You could also use the Show Interest feature, which consists of pre-written messages that you can send like “I would like to learn more about you”, “Am I the type you are looking for?”, and “Looking for an activity partner!” As you navigate the site, you will always be able to tell who has viewed your profile or saved it.
Pricing

You will be able to send and receive an unlimited amount of e-mails as well as chat online with the instant messenger feature.
