How to find people into working out??

Katemarie34

Anyone know how to find more people around your area into the working out? Besides the gym- Can't afford that right now each month. None of my friends are into working out and being healthy- Wanna start running 5K's this summer and a few other things.. It'd be nice to have other people there too!

Maybe put an ad on Craigslist? Something about looking for like minded people to start a fitness group? Ok so you might encounter some weirdos. I don't know if you belong to a church or a club or activities such as a book club, crafting, sports, selling things like avon or what not but if you do maybe you can round of some fitness buddies that way?

I probably am not one to talk, I pretty much work out alone myself.

You could start by searching MFP for members in your area. Go to "Find Members" and put in your zip code. Hope this helps

Also, just show up at the parks/trails/etc. where people run in your area - you're bound to bump into other runners and you can spark up convo.

I just started signing up for races by myself. Each race I ran, I made a new friend! And I would always post stuff about it on facebook, and discovered friends of mine who I wasn't particularly close with who happened to like to run and work out. Now we're a lot closer, and I have running buddies!
