At first Fitness singles looked like it might be promising. But my hopes were quickly dashed after I signed up for a membership.
It turns out that most of the people that say that they’re active are not. Despite the fact that their system says that they “showed interest“. It’s a very deceptively built system.
To date, I’ve not had ANY responses to any of my messages from the 30+ women who said they were "interested" and messaged me when I was not a "paid member". This is a poorly constructed site. With many fake profiles.
Their messaging system also sends you notifications constantly, for example when someone visits or upgrades their photos. This builds false expectations that there are people interested and there is no way to turn these notifications off.
Stay clear of this site!

The Big Lie
This site is a complete sham, and the site Title is very very misleading.
There is nothing remotely fitnessy about the women on this site, with most being overweight, lying about their age and delusional about their level of looks.
I wrote a comment to their review department, which was meant by utter contempt.
They already have my 45 pounds, so they don't care.....
Please don't be fooled by the lie....don't join

They do not match you to anything you…
They do not match you to anything you share. Don’t bother. Distance, drinkers, smokers, faith, etc. Don’t bother. Also called Fitness Singles- the majority of pics show you fitness is not on their radar.

Don’t repeat my mistake
This is a very underhanded dating site that lures you in with outdated or false profiles. If you have any attraction to these fake or old profiles, you will be duped into sending a message that can not be received by an unsubscribed member. Yet, somehow the arrogant administration argues that it is legit to post these profiles, and they do not want to debate their tactics or business principles. Every negative review that I have read here is my experience also…just wish I read them before I was enticed by an attractive but inaccessible profile.

Fitness Singles is a CON!
I'm a single male looking for a single female. I first tried Fitness Singles in 2021 and found the usual issues (people never reply, people put old photos up, people just put "email me to find out more" as their profile intro, people's definition of "fitness" is very loose - walking the dog is not fitness - unless you're walking up Ben Nevis?). I had paid for the 6 months membership and after only getting 2 dates (not a great return) where the reality didn't even match the profile, I gave it up.
Fast forward 2 years and still trying to find someone, I again signed up to Fitness Singles. And guess what? The same issues as before are still there. But also, the search results throw up other issues:
My only search criterion is limiting it to just a 25 miles distance. There are 134 pages listed in the results! As there are 36 profiles on each page that means a potential pool of 4,824 opportunities. Wow! Great! Surely even I must be able to find someone. But hold on:
(i) a 25 mile radius is an area of 1,923 square miles. 4,824 single women in that area means there are over 2 single women per square mile. However, 129 pages of those (or 4,644 profiles) haven't been active in over 3 weeks (which is the equivalent of not active at all on Fitness Singles"). Suddenly the pool is down to just 180 active users!!! Or the equivalent of 0.09 women per square mile - or 1 woman per 100 square miles. So, really, Fitness Singles is over inflating their opportunities.
(ii) at least 11 of these 180 have been active since 2021 (I know because I'd messaged them 2 years ago - with no replies of course - 🤨). So not a great advertisement for a dating site if they're still single after 2 years???!!!
Which brings me to another point - do women have to pay for membership? I ask because if they do, then those women still active on here for over 2 years must surely be questioning the value of paying for a site that doesn't deliver results?
Other so called features are dubious - I received an email yesterday at 11:01 to say that "so-and-so" had uploaded a new photo. At 19:20 I clicked to see the profile only to be greeted with "This member has hidden their profile or may no longer have a valid account with us."! Seriously?? Do Fitness Singles really expect me to believe that a member uploaded a new photo in the morning only to then hide/delete their profile that same day?
Also, today I received an email listing "New matches in your area". When I clicked on one of them, I got the same error message!! How can they be new today and gone in the space of a few hours?!!
Hmm, I'm smelling something and it ain't nice.

Don’t Bother- Interest in You is Fake
What a waste of time and money. I thought I was chatting with a “real” member… right up to the point they wanted to “continue” learning about each other off-site. Most profiles were likely set up for free… they express interest, but your replies will never be seen by them because they need to pay for membership first. I was foolish for subscribing and wish I had seen reviews here first. Hopefully, you see how worthless membership is before wasting hard earned money.

disappointed female
I'm female. I joined less than a month ago. The site sends you people who are not in your age range. Men show up that I've already had communication with. The emails are constant someone checked you out. That doesn't mean they're interested it just means you're a potential. Most men all say the same thing, I'm interested in you, lets chat. There aren't truly that many & I've read fewer women. The site is not user friendly meaning you have to work at doing simple things that are much easier on other sites. I'm very disappointed for the price. Had really hoped for something better.
