Find an Exercise Friend on Your Next Trip

I came across a great web site recently: exercisefriends.com. The site uses the concept of a dating site, but instead of finding your true love, you use the site to find like-minded healthy people who are looking for an exercise partner.

I live in a medium/small city, and I was skeptical that the site would have enough volume of participants to be useful. As it turned out, I was wrong. There are many people from even my small locale registered who are looking for fitness and exercise buddies.

The site is certainly a good reference for a good workout partner near home, but it also strikes me as a valuable tool when you are traveling. You can search the site for fitness friends in the city to which you are traveling and contact them in advance to set up a workout session. They know the locale and can help you find a great workout spot. Heck, they might even be able to take you to their gym on a free guest pass.

Give exercisefriends.com the next time you are looking for a new way to workout.
