Facing a Bright and Happy Future
Despite the distance from the Central Outback to the East Coast — I have met a wonderfully engaging partner through this site. If not for Fitness Singles, we would never know how connected we actually are on all levels! Learning about each others environments from Desert Dolphins to Noosa National Park and ensured all the kangaroos are in the top paddock. This keeps the kookaburras laughing and we are exceptionally happy.
I met quite a few interesting people and have made some good friends through the site, but am especially pleased to now be facing a bright and happy future with someone extra special I can share all aspects of my life with. Just need him to blow in from the sand scrapes on a permanent basis! Let it rip Hughie!
The biggest bonus of the site is finding people of like minds and levels of activity. I liked the whole concept of this site. The fact you could contact people using various methods and block any unseemly contacts, gave me confidence to initiate contact and conversation. And it all paid off — big time!
Thanks from two very happy clients / customers. Still can’t wipe the smile off our faces. :D

The Fitness Singles Miracle!
When I was a little girl, I thought every woman at some time in their lives met a man, fell in love, and got married. As I got deeper into my thirties, I began to think that maybe that fate did not apply to everyone. Perhaps Cupid had forgotten all about me. I am a registered nurse managing a busy schedule with little time for myself in a big, busy city like Miami that I’ve discovered was very difficult to start a relationship of any kind of substance. I guess you could say there was undoubtedly someone missing in my life. When I first started dating, internet wasn’t even around. I would have never have thought that I would meet the man I was to marry on the internet. I had always thought it was not only mechanical but unromantic venue.
In January of 2009, while exploring the parameters of Fitness Singles, my path crossed with Rudy’s, a fellow member of your site. At first, we exchanged emails asking and answering questions about each other, our friends, family and our careers. Eventually, we worked our way to a phone call and things continued to develop swimmingly. We finally agreed to meet each other for dinner on Super Bowl Sunday two years ago. Much to my surprise, on the morning of our first date he described the restaurant he had chosen for us to dine in a very touching and romantic email.
Just off State Road 84 in Fort Lauderdale is a family-style Italian restaurant called Anthony’s Runway. The bar and booths are crafted from that of an airplane fuselage. He told me that perhaps I would soon be embarking on an adventure of some kind. He reminded me to search for an inconspicuous wooden plaque near the entrance of the restaurant that would not be apparent to anyone unless they looked for it. Engraved on it was the Unfailing Prayer to Saint Anthony, patron saint of miracles and missing persons. (How appropriate.) Go figure?!
That day was the first of a long series of dates that took us to many exciting destinations like Paradise Island, Isla Mujeres, Nantucket, the Keys, Indian Rock Beach, New York, Cancun and finally culminating in a wedding proposal on Christmas Eve of 2010. What I had been longing to find for so long was achieved when I least expected it on your internet dating site, and with a romantic spin that I would never have imagined nor expected. We are scheduled to be married on the Sunday after Thanksgiving at the Spanish Monastery in North Miami Beach. While Cupid may have fallen asleep on the job, little did I know that Saint Anthony always had my back.

I Didn’t Think I Would Actually Meet My Husband!
When I first signed up with Fitness Singles, I anticipated finding cool workout partners, someone to road race with and just get out on new outdoor adventures. I didn’t think I would actually meet my husband!
I met my husband, Jake, on your site. We went on a 12 mile hike along Sunset Beach to Huntington Beach Main Street and back to our car. This was our first date. This was the bike trail I ran every morning before work. Jake and I clicked perfectly, immediately. Everything he wanted to see happen in his future was what I wanted to happen in my future. We had a ton in common, and later I gave him several personality psychology questionaires to determine his personality identity. This was important to me, and we soon found out, our personalities complement each other.
We both were looking for each other. He told me he was hoping to meet his wife on Fitness Singles. Now we’re married and have a baby boy due March 14, 2011.

Once a Skeptic, Now a Believer!
I have to admit I was a bit skeptical when I first signed up with Fitness Singles. But I was having such a challenge finding single men my age who value an active lifestyle that I thought it couldn’t hurt to give it a try.
I met a number of guys that were all really terrific and very compatible within the first few weeks. After about six weeks, it became evident that one of these guys really stood out above the rest. We are now in an exclusive relationship and are very happy.
Thank you Fitness Singles!
Although I had a great experience with Fitness Singles, I hope I never have to use your service again! :-)

He Is the Best Thing That Has Ever Happened to Me
Thank you Fitness Singles! I had been on Match, eHarmony and Plenty of Fish, and I finally met “The One” on your site. I met my wonderful Marine last Febuary 2010 and we are now engaged to be married May 7th, 2011. I was on your site for about three months and was not really looking for the body builder type. I was looking more for an active, athletic guy that would do races with me, hike, bike, swim, etc. So, I decided to change my profile and be direct, and ask for exactly what I was looking for.
I was living a very active lifestyle and wanted a partner in life. I had been on so many dates from the other sites, but never found a permanant love interest. I started to get frustrated and let my subscription lapse. I did not know other members could still see my profile. One day, Brian saw mine and sent me an email. When I clicked through his pictures, I was immediately captivated by one picture that had been taken while he was deployed in Iraq. There was something kind and honest about his eyes. I had to email him, but I could not do so without re-subscribing. So I did and found my man! We laugh about how I had to pay to go on my first date with him. When we got engaged in October, he told me he paid me back! I'll say ;-)
We are so excited and in the process of planning our May wedding. The moral of this story is never give up and ask for what you want; you may actually get it. Thank you so much Fitness Singles, the only dating site that actually worked for me!

Best Friends, Soul Mates and So Much More
We met on Fitness Singles in February of 2010. I knew from the beginning that something was different and very special about Michael. We had an immediate deep connection and began a month long communication, mostly over email, getting to know each other more deeply before meeting. By the time we met in person, we’d already fallen in love with one another and the chemistry we experienced the first time we met instantly proved it.
From the moment we met, we’ve been inseparable and have become deeply connected partners on every level. Our relationship and compatibility extends far beyond what either of us had even dared to dream for before we met one another. We are truly best friends, soul mates and so much more. From our love of the outdoors and being active together to the comfort we feel when just hanging out at home together, we couldn't imagine our lives without one another. We were married on October 2, 2010, and continue on our journey through life together, with the comfort of knowing that we have our soul mate and best friend by our side through it all.
Thank you, Fitness Singles, for helping us find one another. We are truly blessed beyond measure!
— Julie & Michael
P.S. This was Michael’s statement in his “More About Him” section of his profile and proves that dreams really do come true: “I don’t want to put any pressure on anyone, but… I’m hoping to be on one of those commercials which talk about how successful internet dating is, so… you must do your part to make this dream come true. ;-) ”
Love Is Cheering From the Sidelines,
TRUE Love Is Crossing the Finish Line Together
In January 2010, I joined Fitness Singles to find local people who were into running, cycling and traveling in the state to run races. I wanted to find someone close so it was easy to run together and find other local runners. At the same time I was searching for someone local. This guy four hours away had seen my profile, felt a connection just seeing my picture and sent me a message on January 10, 2010. I ignored the message for a couple days, but during those days I looked at his profile countless times. There was something there that kept pulling me back to him. I kept telling myself “no” and to not get involved with someone four hours away, but I just could not resist any longer. I messaged him back, let my wall down, opened my heart and we fell in love with one another before we even met. We finally met in person the end of January and officially started to date on February 12, 2010. After a year of being together he still takes my breath away with a simple touch and my heart still beats extremely fast when I am driving to his house.
Matthew and I are one another’s strengths, best friends, shoulders to lean on, that person in one another’s lives that just understand each other, joke on one another and most of all we are running buddies. We both share the same passion for running; we run for pleasure, fitness, endurance, and the simple enjoyment that we can share this activity together. We are both so blessed to have found one another, have been accepted in one another's families and are very excited about our future together! We are still currently living four hours apart since I am finishing up my nursing degree and he is finishing up medical school. I plan on moving at the end of summer to Indiana so we can start our lives together there.
We are both so grateful for Fitness Singles, without you we would have never met! We cannot imagine our lives without one another, being together just makes perfect sense. So, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

I Tell People That I Batted 1000
In November 2007, I went on a Google search to find an out-of-state adventure racing company. My search was a dead end (i.e., it no longer does adventure races). However, along the side of the Google page there was a heading, “Meet Adventure Racing Singles.” Since my racing partner was climbing the Himalayas, I was looking for a new racing partner. When I clicked the link, I was a bit shocked to find it was an internet dating site. At first, I laughed and said I don’t have time for internet dating.
But then I read your home page and started to think how nice it would be to meet someone who does the same stuff that I do. I was so used to mountain biking, running, etc. by myself because no one I dated had interest in such activities. I reluctantly started to surf around your website. That day I signed up for 30 days. I thought I would see what was out there. I was shocked to find that I wasn’t bombarded with a bunch of cheesy lines, etc. Instead, I was approached by a handful of guys interested in adventure racing and past/future races.
There was one guy that I had ongoing conversations with, long conversations, online for a couple of weeks. When I returned from snowboarding in Crested Butte, CO, we met up for the first time to talk about Colorado riding. Almost three weeks after I logged on, I met Dennis for a date. He was the only one that I had interest in meeting. He was the only one I gave my phone number to. He and I met for the first time and became inseparable. He introduced me to rock climbing, which became an instant passion. He and I mountain bike, raft, hike and snowboard together. That spring I found a new adventure racing partner… and he’s now my husband.
I tell people that I batted 1000. I got online, met one guy and signed off. Success! For three years we’ve traveled extensively in search of new adventures. Dennis and I were married two months ago in Railay Beach, Thailand. We combined our destination wedding with our passion for climbing. Thailand has world renown rock climbing so we traveled to the other side of the world without hesitation. We tell people our success story and it balances out the bad online stigma. Thanks Fitness Singles!

He Is the Best Thing That Has Ever Happened to Me
Lou and I met in November 2006 through Fitness Singles. We almost DIDN’T meet, because he emailed my account while I was traveling for business. When I returned from my trip, I logged on and responded to his email. However, his subscription had expired during the time I was away. He decided a few days later to renew for one more month, and that is when we began exchanging emails. We emailed each other for about a month, and met for the first time on December 22, 2006. We had dinner and talked for over three hours. It was the best first date I had ever had. A week later we went on our second date and talked either on the phone or in person every day since then.
We got married in Sonoma Valley, California on June 28th, 2009. It was a destination wedding and 25 family members and friends joined us. It was the perfect location and a perfect day for us. We have continued to live a life of good health and fitness. We are so grateful for Fitness Singles. Without you, we would have never met. I can’t imagine life without him. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Thank you!

Everything We Had Been Looking For
I decided to try Fitness Singles for only 30 days. One of the first days I browsed through and saw this very attractive, tall guy. I passed him by because I thought that picture probably wasn’t him. I mean how can this gorgeous guy be single?
Well Jeff saw who browsed through his account and saw my profile. He liked the fact I had tattoos and was complete opposite of him. The only problem was Jeff lived in AZ and I lived in CA. Four hour drive time.
That didn’t stop us from meeting at least one time to see if we had any connection. We called our first meeting a “pre date,” just in case it didn’t work out. Well on our real “first” date, Jeff told me that he was done looking and that I was the one. I laughed, because we have all heard that one before. I smiled and let it go.
Two days later, I said to him, “So does this mean we are boyfriend/girlfriend?” We have been together ever since! One year after we were dating, he got a job transfer to MO and asked if I wanted to move with him. We had been dating long distance for a year, which was really hard since we only saw each other once a month. But at the same time it was nice to be able to see someone four days in a row, like a mini vacation!
Two years later, Jeff asked me to marry him. After happily saying yes, we built a house together and opened up a fitness business. A year later we were married. Two weeks after our wedding, we found out we are going to have our first child together!
Now at the age of 33, we can’t believe we have everything we had been looking for. Each other!

For Those of You Who Don’t Believe, Believe!
For those of you who don’t believe, believe! I am just your average male that was overseas when I met the most amazing girl on this site while in Iraq. Go ahead and giggle if you must, but it’s true. I surfed through the pages for a bit until I found a girl that caught my eye. I didn’t think anything of it honestly. Heck, I didn’t really believe myself but I sent her a simple email not thinking she would ever respond! A few days later, she responded with a wonderful email. I was still wondering if this was for real so I sent another in response to her email. Well, that turned into many emails and we chatted for several months until I came home. I met her the day I landed and I have been grinning ear to ear ever since.
We both are head over heels with each other and I know deep down that she is “the one.” I never thought I would meet such a beautiful, amazing and smart girl over the internet while in Iraq. Thanks for the help Fitness Singles! I wouldn’t have found the girl of my dreams without this site!
— Dave & Megan
Love at First Sight
Our first date was incredible and I was blown away. It was love at first sight. I just knew that my life was going to change immediately and boy, was I right! My second date, I told my daughter “this is the man I am going to marry.” There was chemistry on both sides and it was very strong. Even though we lived about 1000 miles apart, he still made an effort to see me every weekend. We both live a healthy lifestyle, eat clean six days a week — one day is our cheat day :) — and our daily insane gym sessions made it a perfect connection!
After dating for just nine weeks — yes, that is nine weeks — he proposed to me and I did not have to think about it. We are soul mates. After a two month engagement we flew to Hawaii for a very romantic beach wedding. We moved to CA in May 2010. I have to say he took my breath away when we met and still takes my breath every day!
Thank you Fitness Singles!

I Found My Mountain Man
I wasn’t looking to get involved with any dating websites, but I signed up for Fitness Singles because I thought it would help me to get out and enjoy the mountains more and maybe find a guy who is active since that is an important quality to me. John was the first guy to email me the very same evening I put my profile up. I looked at his profile and decided to go ahead and pay the fee to use the site and take a chance. What did I have to lose?
What I found was just how much I had to gain. John and I really hit it off on our “dirt date” when we hiked up to an overlook to watch the sun set. A couple of weeks later in June, I spent his birthday with him and we actually got to ski together. We had an amazing time! Then John shared his passion for mountain biking with me and inspired me to take up the sport as well. We have shared many trail kisses and lift kisses in the two years since we’ve been dating and are very much looking forward to a bright future together. Not only did we find each other on Fitness Singles, but we also have other friends here in Salt Lake City who we met from the site and even attended the wedding of one such friend who also met her husband on Fitness Singles. The quality of the people in this community has been wonderful and we have said out loud on several occasions, “Thank you, Fitness Singles!”
True love is out there. Don't give up!

A Match Made in Heaven
Roberto and I met via Fitness Singles two years ago and have been happily dating ever since. We both share a love for triathlons and life in general, so it was a match made in heaven. After emailing each other through Fitness Singles for several weeks, we met up and have been together ever since. We're both shy and not into the club scene, so we probably never would have met had it not been for this great site that connects physically active adults with a passion for life.
— Bridget & Roberto
Other Sites Did Not Hold a Candle to Fitness Singles
Yours was the first online dating site I have ever used. I went on a few other sites but got out of them quickly as they did not hold a candle to your site. I like how easy, clear it is to use Fitness Singles and especially liked a lot of the special features you had including the quality of photos, IM (a few problems there that need to be ironed out in regards to it not working properly on more than a few occasions) and being able to zoom in on other folks who shared my passion for certain sports etc.
I have met and dated a variety of men on this site and all were terrific guys. I find that Fitness Singles acts as a very good filtration system enabling me to directly access men who are very active like me.
I am signing off this site now after six fun months of chatting with men all over the world. A little while ago, John discovered me and we have been dating seriously for four months and we have both decided to come off your site and pursue our new relationship. Thanks again. I had a blast!
— Jill
I now am married to my soul mate
I’d like to say to those who doubt the success of meeting your soul mate online. It can happen and it did, to me. I never believed in a soul mate until I met my now husband here on Fitness Singles in February of 2009. We were living in opposite ends of the U.S., but he noticed my profile, contacted me, and then the fairytale continues from there. We knew we were made for each other from the beginning. I now am married to my soul mate and my best friend. So don’t give up gals & guys. The right one is out there, it just has to be the right time of your life to meet “the one.”

Fitness Singles: The perfect place for two
committed athletes to meet
Kera and I both began using Fitness Singles in the summer of 2008. I had never used an online dating service before as meeting and dating women was never an issue for me, but meeting the kind of woman I would like to was another story. Kera, on the other hand, had tried various online dating sites and had sworn them off forever. One day while searching for races to run over the summer, she discovered Fitness Singles and was intrigued with a site that catered specifically to activities she enjoyed and decided to join.
I am a 48 year old research scientist and professor at the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs. I am a cat-2 cyclist and have completed many marathons. Kera was living in Vail, CO and enjoyed a variety of sports including running, triathlons, mountain biking and telemark skiing. We now live together in Colorado Springs where we enjoy all these activities together.
After talking for two hours on the phone every night for a week, we met in Vail and our first date was biking over Vail Pass. Since then we have spent every weekend together for nearly a year and will be getting married on August 1st. Since our first meeting we have participated in telemark skiing, snowshoe races, bicycle races, hut trips, mountain biking in Moab and running.

We fell in love in an instant
This is actually the 2nd note I’m sending to Fitness Singles. I met a lovely woman on your website in June of last year. Her profile name was janinej, a self-professed sporty and feisty girl from England. Well we fell in love in an instant and we are zeroing in on a date in November to be married.
So I say thank you to the good folks at Fitness Singles for bringing her to me. I couldn’t be any happier. It’s worth mentioning that when I found her profile I had decided that my search which led me to her was to be my last. Great save guys.
— Michael
I found Laura because of Fitness Singles and
with Laura I have found true happiness
I guess in the big scheme of things I had my subscription for a very short period of time and had met some nice people but not the one. And then I saw a photo of a beautiful woman that caught my eye and as I read her somewhat quirky profile I could not resist but to e-mail her. She was looking for someone to help her with Golf and she also had mentioned she liked pancakes. I could not help her with golf but I do like pancakes. Within a few days we met for brunch one beautiful fall morning in Virginia. We had pancakes.
It is almost eight months later and we are engaged and we have just found a house for us. Our fitness lifestyle may be a bit different from each other but it is part of what we do and it links into a lot of what we do. I could not be happier. I have found someone who I truly love and her dedication to fitness puts a smile on my face every time she gets out of the shower.
I found Fitness Singles because of my triathlons - I found Laura because of Fitness Singles - and with Laura I have found true happiness.
— Gary
Your website works!
Your website works! I’m a health and fitness professional (teach exercise on PBS TV,) not into bars and so I thought I’d try your website. I went on a date on July 4th and we just knew we had something very special. We married January 12th. Thanks!
— Suzanne and Glenn
A genuine meeting place for like
health and fitness minded
people
Thank you Fitness Singles! I had been using those other sites to find a partner but with no success. A friend suggested Fitness Singles and after just one week on your site I met the girl of my dreams. Who would have thought an Australian and a New Zealander could be so compatible? We have our love of fitness together, but after a few weeks of emails we discovered so much more.
Thank you for running a genuine meeting place for like health and fitness minded people. We are looking forward to our lives together thanks to you bringing us together!
— Trent
Fitness Singles helped us get our “act together”
I actually went on Fitness Singles to meet someone and ended up dating the owner of my gym, Neal. Interestingly enough, when I went on a date with Neal, he said that he also noticed me on Fitness Singles (because he was a member of Fitness Singles.) So, this is a success story because Neal didn’t realize I was single and looking for a relationship and Fitness Singles helped us get our “act together.” We are now happily engaged and in the process of organizing a 2008 wedding!
The attached photo is from a friend’s wedding in the Adirondacks of New York, where both Neal and I ran a 5k in the morning and were dancing by the evening!

We were instantly at ease with each other
Nina and I met online here at Fitness Singles. She was a former member of the Russian National Track & Field Team and I was a Two Time USA Track National Champion. We found very quickly that we understood each other, and found a remarkable simalarity to our life’s experiences. Online emails went to IM’s, which went to text messages and then phone calls. I had the date somewhere, but I actually I told her I loved her about three days after we started talking on a consistent basis.
A month after I met her online, I went from my home in Albuquerque, NM to visit her in Tuscon, AZ. We found that everything that was great about our relationship online and over the phone was even better in person. Three weeks later, Nina dropped everything and moved to NM to live with me. We were instantly at ease with each other.
— Nina & Brendan
We share the same lifestyle and the chemistry was there
I enjoyed the my time on Fitness Singles. I met a wonderful
woman with whom
I made a great connection. We decided to pursue a relationship together and hopefully
it will continue to grow into something special. Even though were four and a
half hours apart, that was not a deterrent for us since we share same lifestyle
and upon first meeting the chemistry was there. We will be travelling back and
forth at least a year before a decision of relocating is made.
We would like to thank Fitness Singles.com for provided the opportunity for us to meet. Many thanks!
— Arnold & Devi
I found the person I have always wanted
Down here in Oz I managed to find the most amazing woman beyond my dreams in the States. We are now engaged. We are planning on getting married April next year in Hawaii. Thanks Heaps for your site. It is from this I found the person I have always wanted.
— Matt
When you meet that right person, you just know!
I believe that every great relationship starts with a great friendship and that is what I have found on Fitness singles. I have met an extraordinary man who complements me in more ways that I had every imagined possible. Within a week and a half, I flew down to San Francisco to meet this amazing person. We spent three incredible days together and we both knew that we wanted to build a life together. It is true of what they say... “when you meet that right person, you just know!”
Thank you Fitness Singles for being a part of our story.
— Kathy
We’re so comfortable together — we just fit
I can’t believe how lucky I am! I was only on the site a few days before I got an e-mail asking me out on a cycling date... a man of action you could say! I’m the happiest I’ve ever been and every time I think of him — I just get a big smile. He fills my heart.
It’s only been three months, but it feels like three years! We’re so comfortable together — we just fit. He’s everything I want. And when it’s right — it just works.
This was the best investment I’ve ever made. I never would have met him had I not signed on to Fitness Singles.
— Jennifer
I will spend the rest of my life with her
We had dinner and a show three weeks ago and last weekend we were together all weekend and Monday. She is great and we already look deep into each others eyes. There is nobody else for me. I will spend the rest of my life with her. She found me on her last day of being a member. Lucky me.
Thanks so much for your great site.
— Jeff
We are very much in love!
Just wanted to say that I enjoyed using your site. I was lucky enough to meet someone very special and now we are very much in love!
Thanks SO MUCH!
— Lauren & Jeff
A wonderful venue for people with common athletic interests to meet
John and I met on Fitness Singles in October and had our first date on November 7th. He was on your web site getting help to train for a Mt. Whitney climb and I had signed up after learning about your site following the October Rock and Roll Half Marathon in San Jose last year. Your website is a wonderful venue for people with common athletic interests to meet. Thank you!
John and I are very much in love and undoubtedly will spend the rest of our lives with each other. He is a kind and generous man who makes me laugh daily! I don't think either of us could be happier and we would both like to thank you for creating the web site that brought us both together!
— Kerry
