Where does fit2date operate?
fit2date (the only fitness company of its kind worldwide) launched successfully in Sydney in July 2007 and was then extended to other cities across Australia. It has just been launched in the US – with the first groups being held in New York in June!
How did you get the idea?
Erica French (who set up the company) found she had lots of gorgeous, fun, single girlfriends and lots of gorgeous, fun, single guy friends – who all said it was difficult to meet new people!
She set up fit2date so like minded fun, active people could get to know each other in a relaxed and pressure free environment, without the sleaziness of meeting in bars or clubs or the randomness of online dating.
What sort of people go?
Fit, sporty, fun and enthusiastic people come to fit2date. The people coming are happy and confident in their own skin and want to train hard. We have all met amazing people at our groups!
What's the age group?
At fit2date we don’t have age groups as yet, as we want to keep the focus on training. We do not try to ‘set’ anyone up so we care about how fit you are. We bring a group together who are all fit and want to train together. We always get a great spread of ages anywhere from 23 – 40 with an average age of 33. We will be setting up fit2date plus in the future purely for the 35+ age group.
How big is the group?
There are 12-16 people in a group – it’s an equal split between girls and guys.
Do people go on their own?
The majority of people come on their own, about 30% bring a friend. It doesn't matter either way, everyone gets to know each other very quickly and are put into different teams.
What does the program consist of?
Lots of games and exciting challenges, it’s a different format each week. We make it fun so you don’t realise you're working out. The training is anaerobic in nature with lots of short fast exercises, lots of core and circuit work. There is no boxing.
I've already got a Gym Membership – why should I do this?
People normally do fit2date in addition to their normal fitness regime. It’s good to 'mix it up' and train in the great outdoors! You may even meet your future partner at the same time.
What do I need to wear?
Just your normal fitness wear – lots of our participants have reported they actually prefer meeting people looking more 'casual' than at a bar/party.
What happens at the after party?
The groups have normally really bonded by then, you get to have a few drinks, swap stories – the rest is up to cupid!
What is the 'success rate'?
It depends how you define 'success'! Everybody (100% - see our testimonials) has said they enjoyed the program and that it motivated them to do more training. We have had lots of 'hook ups' and yes even ‘relationships’ have blossomed. We have lots of friendships as well plus people coming back to do more courses which is ‘success’ to us.
How fit do you need to be?
fit2date is for fit singles wanting to train with other fit singles and we recommend that you be at least a 5 out of 10 fitness level. You should be doing some form of exercise at least 3 times a week.
There isn't a fit2date in my area?
Let us know! If we get enough people we may set one up.
How much does the program cost?
The 4 week program including 4X1 hour training sessions, prizes and after party drinks is $200. Make sure you sign up for the fit2date club to receive our regular member specials.
How do I pay?
Once you have decided on which group to join you will be asked for your personal details and then you will be asked to pay using your credit card via paypal (you do not need a paypal account). This includes tax and the credit card fee.
How can I sign up?
Its simple, go to reserve a spot and pick which group you would like to join. Once you make your payment you will be a member of that group and fit2date will send you all the training information.
