Fitness Singles is a dating site for those who can’t get enough of the gym, pool, track, bike or whatever other type of physical activity you can think of. Some people on the site are just looking for an activity partner. However, FitnessSingles.com is geared more toward romance. It's about having something in common, like a burning desire to torch some calories. It could lead to a match made in cyberspace.

As with most dating sites, you must create a profile before seeing what it really has to offer. You start off with a focus on fitness. You must choose three activities right off the bat and a skill level for each. After all, you wouldn’t want to go rock climbing with a dead weight tied to your back, would you? From there, there’s a multipage process that must be completed before you get the keys to the FitnessSingles kingdom.

"There's a wide range of search options available to everyone on Fitness Singles."

Don’t worry. You can fill out most of the information in five minutes. They recently added a new feature where you describe your best physical attribute. You can choose to be coy or romantic and say your eyes, smile or personality, but you could be blunt and put your stomach, legs or butt.

There's a wide range of search options available to everyone on Fitness Singles. As you might expect, there’s a large choice of sporting options to ensure you can find the right activity partner. It also has a keyword search. Appearance seems to have a special emphasis on this site, but remember that the majority of us think we're better looking than we really are. For your profile, aim high!

When it comes to contact options beyond email, the site only has one and that's instant messaging. It does include video and audio options though. You only need one quick contact option to make a site work for you. All the same, without group chat rooms or message boards, the site loses out on creating a sense of community.

There are several significant drawbacks to the site. It has seen a big decline in visitors to its pages. I imagine it's due to the second issue I have with the site, which is that you cannot reply to messages for free, even if they come from paid subscribers.

The final nail in the coffin is that despite the decline in surfers, they've raised the price by about 30 percent since its launch. The current monthly fee isn't overly pricey by any means, but a price increase hardly seems a good way to entice renewed interest. Fitness Singles needs to rethink its strategy if it wants its members' ranks back to the picture of health.

DATING REVIEW OF FITNESS SINGLES Fitness-Singles.com is a complete JOKE and a SCAM to start with! Bottom line - Just don t waste any of your online time at flaky sites like POF and fitness-singles.com ! I went there thinking that I d find a great scuba diving LTR gal dive buddy and soulmate. Boy was I WRONG! They suck us/you (guys) into a supposedly FREE membership there (so they f

I tried out FS for 60 days after checking out a link on Active.com. I am very happy with my results. I met a really cute and cool woman (she actually initiated contact!), and we ve been dating for almost a year. Note to guys - if you are normal and healthy (physically and mentally), you will get lots of dates here with women who value a fit lifestyle.

I lucked out and met someone early on and we hit it off. I ve never been so active with someone of the opposite sex. With that said, before my connection, barely anyone responded to my messages. Not much traffic on this site

Not worth the money. So few people on the site. Also very conservative. Left a message on my profile concerning freedom of speech. Profile was was rejected as being too political. Also, as has been said, it s bait and switch. They tell you it s free but give you no way to contact opthers.

not impressed. You should be able to view communication from paying members. I would have no problem paying, but $30 is a little much
