The new year is here, and much like everyone else, I'm looking to shed those excess holiday pounds. Fitness Singles is a fitness dating website with the goal of connecting those who have healthy lifestyles for dating or friendship.
What is Fitness Singles and who is it for?
Based in Buffalo, NY, Fitness Singles was created in 2003. There is a large database of users with over 2 million members, with about 40,000 active on the site. Most users are from the US.
Fitness Singles is for people who:
✔️Are US based singles looking for other fit, healthy singles.
✔️Are interested in committed relationships, rather than casual hookups.
✔️Are interested in finding friendship with other fit, healthy people.
✔️Have active lifestyles.
How does Fitness Singles work?
After creating a profile and uploading some pics, Fitness Singles' Quality Assurance team reviews them. Once approved, I could search profiles, use basic search, custom search, search by username, or select from match suggestions.
Is the Fitness Singles dating app legit?
I find the legitimacy to be questionable. On the BBB's website (A+ rating), the majority of complaints were about accounts being closed without refunds. Another issue was "zombie accounts" — shells of old profiles no longer in use.
📝 The TL;DR on the Fitness Singles app
- I could view others based on workout activities they like.
- Most people are looking for love over a workout buddy.
- Hard to gauge site activity without paying first.
- There's no Fitness Singles app.
- No profile verification available.
📲Is there a Fitness Singles app?
❌Nope! No mobile app as of yet. I was able to use the mobile version of the site though.
What's the signup process for Fitness Singles?
🐢SLOW! Probably close to 10 minutes. The signup has about 30 steps including gender, age, country, zip code, username, password, email, activities selection, skill levels, body type, looks, best feature, height, weight, ethnicity, hair color, eye color, marital status, kids, religion, education, occupation, income, diet, activity level, smoking, drinking, languages, photo, headline, and bio.
Search capabilities for Fitness Singles
The search features are extensive: Who's new, who's online, matches, Top 25, distance, pics only, username, and more. Matches are provided based on location and preferences.

So, final thoughts on my Fitness Singles Review?
I loved the concept, but as a site that's been around for two decades, I thought it would be more fleshed out. It lacks a mobile app, doesn't have a catchy layout, and you can't message without paying. Still, it's a good intro into fitness dating if you find potential matches worth chatting with.
