    I can't recall the name but there is a site for "fitness singles." I've seen side bar ads for it

    Hahaha I just thought it'd be a fun idea.

    Or maybe not even dating - more like, an app to find training partners.

    I'm sure that's out there already too. Dang.

    I think you could be on to something....because location-based apps would allow you to quickly find workout buddy/trainers near you. Although it might be a bit creepy too.

    Crowdfund me $25,000 USD and I'll get to work on it

    Shark tank deal: you create it, we'll give you 10% royalties once we hit profitability.

    I was more thinking you guys could fund me and I develop the app! :D

    Unless you're a player in the NBA or have a bunch of professional swimmer-friends you can convince to download the app once it comes out.

    Let's do this!

    :D

    If you mean fund by supplying PB & J sandwiches while you program, I'm in!

    Throw in Almond Butter and now we're talking! Hate to say it, but to get back to code....maybe add in a bit of Nutella as well.

    Don't forget coffee. We'll need coffee.

    Oh, and wine of course. To stay inspired.

    These plans keep getting better and more refined. Where are the headquarters going to be located?

    Athlete dating. For those who want to play the track and field!

    Well, if I'm going to work from home, I'm afraid it'll have to be in Europe.

    I WOULD be willing to move to the States though if somebody offered me a place to stay at his or her
    penthouse in NYC or mansion in San Francisco.

    Maybe we should move it to SF. Seems like the place to be.

    athlinks is used for this alot

    Haven't heard of that site before! Just claimed my two race results though. That's pretty dope.

    That athlinks site is pretty impressive...not sure how it knew all of my times, even years ago.

    Headquarters: I'm about 2 hours north of NYC. It's way to cold here. We need to go where fitness is a year round priority. South Beach Miami is incredible, gets my vote.

    Kay, one vote for California, one for Miami.
    How will we settle this?

    We should both be scouts looking to get famous athletes to use our dating app.
    THIS WILL BE GREAT.

    Having two offices in those locations makes sense. Depending on what events are in season, we can use both. There are so many awesome aspects to both places.

    Let's do this!

    Yep - adblock here, but I've seen it on my mobile.

    Ah, here it is - http://www.fitness-singles.com/ :).

    I actually thought this was going to spam for that - maybe it is a particularly clever spammer :).

    A sumo wrestler will come up with a profile that says "a few extra pounds" and ruin it for everyone. :bigsmile:

    That wouldn't ruin it...sumo wrestlers and those roller derby girls would all be welcome!
