That's What Friends are For

Sheryl and Gabby partnered up, maybe you should too! Problem is maybe your friends are not ready to start working out or you know that they will back out on a workout from time to time. Want to run a marathon but can't get any one you know to do it with you? Maybe when it comes to getting active, you need to branch out a little.

ExerciseFriends.com is an online community where you can find someone who is looking for a workout partner as well. You start by searching the activity you are interested in (from aerobics to base jumping to ping ping) and your zip code. Then you get a whole list of people (along with pictures) that are interested in the same thing. And it's all free!

Fit's Tip: While most members seem to be legitimately looking for a training buddy (and the site boldly states it is not a dating site), if all you're looking for is a workout partner, you may want to be little cautious of suspicious profiles (long walks in the park at sunset, etc).
