Don't waste your money. Absolute waste of time which will leave you emotionally exhausted n light in the pocket.
Well, being ever the optimist I decided to give this site a go. 3rd time lucky as I'd tried 2 dating sites before n they were both not good.
V little interaction n response to messages. People in 'my area' were miles away. I met up with one lady at 10.30am in a licensed cafe bar and she was drinking a large glass of wine n appeared to be inebriated. She was in fact quite a nice lady but, incredibly, admitted to me that she had a drink problem.
Met a second lady for a coffee n a couple of walks. She admitted that she had lied about her age, and taken 4 years off her real age. She also did not live in the posh part of Town it claimed on her profile, but in a differentdown market area. Her interests, beliefs n behaviour in no way reflected her profile. In fact, some of her beliefs were a bit extreme, worrying n made me feel uncomfortable.
Quite a few ladies I had conversations with were very chatty n interested in me but when it came to meeting up with me for a coffee (in a safe open public place) backed off n gave me every reason n excuse under the Sun not to meet up. Strange if they're on the site to meet up n socialise with people. From some of my conversations I had, I had a distinct feeling that I was talking to an AI generated robot.
So, in short, give this site a v wide berth.

Thank you everyone for those reviews
Thank you everyone for those reviews. I signed up with Fitness Singles just last week and I was just debating whether to pay the subscription for one month initially to check it out a bit more. I had over 60 messages in my inbox so that was encouraging me to pay, but something told me to Google what people say about that site first and I'm so glad I did! Sorry to anyone genuine that I haven't replied to!

We understand why you chose to research the service before subscribing. However, we want to be absolutely clear: the messages you received were sent by other Fitness Singles members. Fitness Singles does not create or send fake messages or expressions of interest to encourage people to purchase a subscription.
Since you decided not to subscribe, you unfortunately never had the opportunity to communicate with those members or evaluate the paid service for yourself.
Fitness Singles has been connecting active singles since 2003. Individual experiences with online dating naturally vary, and we encourage prospective members to consider a range of experiences when deciding whether Fitness Singles is right for them.

I recently had an experience on this…
I recently had an experience on this dating site that felt disappointing and misleading.
I received a message from someone who seemed genuine — her profile was detailed, and her photos looked real. I was sincerely interested and planned to respond thoughtfully. However, within just a few hours, her profile was completely gone and marked as "no longer a member."
Out of curiosity and concern, I reverse-searched the photo and discovered that it actually belongs to a well-known person on social media, with no connection to dating platforms.
It became clear that the profile was fake and likely part of a scam or misleading activity.
I'm not writing this out of anger, but out of a desire to protect others.
Please be cautious. Take your time, and if something feels off — trust your gut and double-check before getting emotionally involved.

We understand why this experience raised concerns, but the circumstances described do not necessarily mean the profile was fake.
Reverse image searches, including Google’s image-matching technology, can sometimes incorrectly associate a person’s photo with a celebrity or someone who looks similar. An image-search result alone therefore isn’t confirmation that a profile is fraudulent.
Likewise, seeing “no longer a member” simply means the profile is no longer available. Members close their profiles for many reasons, including meeting someone, deciding to take a break from online dating, or simply choosing not to continue using the service.
We do take fraudulent profiles seriously and have implemented advanced anti-spam and fraud-detection technology to help identify and remove suspicious accounts. Unfortunately, Trustpilot does not provide enough information for us to identify the profile involved and determine what actually occurred. If you have the member’s username or other details, please contact us at https://www.fitness-singles.com/info/contact_us and mention your Trustpilot review so we can investigate.

Don't waste your money!
Total Frustration!
I stumbled across this site on the internet, and having never used a dating site before I thought what a great idea and hoped I would find somebody with similar interests. The sign up was easy and there seemed to be a few candidates in my area. I had a couple of messages from people in the states, which I thought could be scammers and sure enough their profiles showed as not available a few days later. So is the site sending these to encourage people to part with their money? Probably!
Then you get to the point where you may want to contact somebody. As a non-paying member you are limited to pre defined "Show Interest" messages of the sites choosing, none of which would encourage anybody to respond. One of which, or the only one, should be please will you pay a subscription so we can have a conversation. When you send one of these messages you may get a read notification. I say may, not because it is dependent on whether they like your profile, but on whether they are a paying member. So you may like them, they may like you, but you have no idea whether that is the case and you have to assume that they didn't like you.
So I forked out over £30 for a months membership, thinking I'll try it for a month and if I'm happy with the service, and still need it, I'll renew it. It wasn't long before I cancelled the auto renewal.
So now I could send "emails" actually they were instant messages via their website. The good news was that I could now send messages that weren't "I like your profile do you like mine", but the bad news was that in the majority of cases these messages were never read as I didn't get a read receipt under the message. In a very few cases I did. Why was this? Well, the recipient gets an email saying they have a new message and directs them to the website. If they are a non-paying member they cannot access this message hence no notification. So they may look at my profile and decide that they are not interested in me, or they may look into subscribing and think I'm not paying £30+ so I can receive the message. So again, I as the sender are left with the impression that this person is not interested in me, when that may not be the case.
How could they improve their website?
Firstly there are too many members who don't have paid membership so to resolve that they need to make it a bit cheaper.
Secondly they need to get rid of the show interest or make it have 3 options
I'm not interested in you (I'd rather have this than no response)
I'm interested in you please pay a subscription
I'm interested and I will pay for your subscription
Thirdly when a message sent from a paying member to a non paying member it should come back with "The receipient has been sent a notification that you have sent a message, but will not be able to read it until they pay a subscription".
Fourthly the suggestion I made to the website via contact us that they allow a 2-3 day subscription to gifted (with no obligation on the behalf of the recipient) for a nominal fee of say £5.
Finally have it documented on the website how the website works regarding the sending of messages and membership. Most of the faults I have highlighted have only been worked out by me or from contacting the website. I don't really understand why the website wants to keep peoples membership details private. If non paying-members want to see who is on the system, that is fine. If they want to contact or be contacted they cannot do that without a subscription so why not let those who pay the subscription filter those that have paid and show interest in those that haven't.
I actually put that I would write a review on my profile due to the fact that I couldn't reveal my membership status but that got removed when I requested it to be updated! They obviously don't want people to know how the site works (or doesn't) even though it would generate more revenue if the members were happier with the way it should works.

One star too many
I seldom take the time and effort to write a review, but this time I felt the need to. This is, by far, the worst dating site I have experienced. I have no idea what this site offers; it is not interactive, smart, clever, or even intuitive. I don't know how dating sites operate, but the behind-the-scene mechanics on this one must be of the most rudimentary kind; it would remind me of DOS before Windows 3.1 came on; with the forgiveness of DOS. It is gross. I can't believe I paid for 6 months; and they are final sales, of course they are.

Fraud
Fraud. 18 hours after paying subscription to send a widow a Happy Mothers Day, I still couldn't. Guess I need to go after them legally to get money back. I could say a lot more about how terrible their "matches" are if you look at one's profiles and photos vs. ladies way out of age, weight, or fitness range that could work. But it was not being able to offer a nice thought to a good lady who might have needed it Mothers Day after I paid well enough in advance that really did it.

Don't bother
Don't bother. There are profiles that have been there for eternity, some are probably dead by now going on their ages. The pictures are out of focus, cropped in so far you're looking at massive nose 😂. Definitely fake profiles everywhere. If you message people they either don't reply, or are not paying and can't read the message anyway. Pointless site, go down the pub every night and toggle at women there, you'll have more chance of getting a reply. 😂😂
