General Questions

How do I contact other members?

Simply view their profile and click “Show Interest” or “Email”. Sending and reading email requires a premium membership.

Are your members for real?

Absolutely. All profiles are user generated and we are extremely diligent about removing any profiles that are misleading or created for purposes other than finding an activity partner or a date. Our editorial staff monitors profiles 24/7 and will intercept any profile we deem questionable before it enters the community.

Occasionally, if a profile is approved that turns out to be phony or an attempt to spam, we move quickly to remove it from our community. If you come across any of these profiles, please click here to report them immediately to our profile evaluation team and we will review the member in question promptly.

Are your members having difficulty finding a date?

We find that our members do not have difficulty finding dates but instead are looking for a particular type of date that is centered around common interests. Remember, it’s not about quantity but about quality!

Fitness Singles members engage in active lifestyles and understand the importance of lifestyle compatibility when it comes to dating for the long run. When you have a busy life, however, you often have much less time to go out every week and sift through countless prospects to find one who is a suitable match. Fitness Singles enables health conscious people like you to find their ideal partner in a safe, convenient environment — it’s no wonder why we’re the most popular dating site of our type!

How do I block someone?

You may block a member by clicking “Block” after opening their mail or by viewing their profile and clicking “Block Member”. To unblock members, click “Blocked Members” on your Messages page and select the member you wish to unblock.

Once a member is blocked, the blocked member will no longer be able to contact you through messages. The blocked member will also be unable to view your profile. If you have been blocked by a member this will be indicated if an attempt to contact the blocking member is made.

Do you have a mobile app?

As of now, we do not have a mobile application. However, you can access our services seamlessly through our mobile website. We are continuously working to enhance your experience, and your feedback is highly valuable to us.

Subscriptions

Why should I subscribe to Fitness Singles?

At Fitness Singles you are free to create and post a profile, search profiles and tease via “Show Interest”. If someone you are interested in has “shown interest,” you must subscribe to begin the exchange of personal, customized messages. Once subscribed you have full access to all the features of the site. This includes the unlimited sending and receiving of messages.

How do I upgrade my membership?

Click “Subscribe” from the top menu after logging in. This option will not appear after subscribing.

What payment methods can I use?

You may pay by credit card, debit card, PayPal, or by mail (check or money order.) We accept the following major credit cards: MasterCard, Visa, Amex and Discover. Checks, and money orders require a minimum purchase of a three (3) or six (6) month subscription. Checks and money orders should be made out to e-Unity Corp / Fitness Singles.

Your membership will be upgraded to Premium status after payment has been received and the check has been cleared at the bank.

What is the subscription cancellation policy?

Once your credit card has been charged, your order is non-refundable, and your subscription will auto-renew until you decide to cancel.

If you cancel, your subscription will remain active for the remainder of the time period for which you paid, but your subscription will not auto-renew at the end of that time period. Cancellation request must be received at least 24 hours before auto renewal date.

Example:

If you purchase a monthly subscription on January 5th and then cancel your subscription on January 20th, you will still be able to connect with other subscribers until February 5th.

How do I cancel my paid subscription?

You can cancel your subscription at any time by clicking on “My Account” in the top menu, then clicking on “Cancel Paid Subscription” next to “Subscription Status”. Fitness Singles does not prorate unused portions of subscriptions.

What happens when I cancel my paid subscription?

Cancellation of paid subscription returns your profile to free membership after the time period for which you paid expires. Your profile is still viewable by other members but you lose the ability to initiate messages to members who are of interest to you. You can remain a free member as long as you like and upgrade your membership again at any time if you see someone to whom you would like to send a message.

Why am I not receiving any responses to my profile?

• Post a profile photo — It’s no secret, people want to talk with people they can see!

• Be Creative! — Make your profile and emails stand out from the rest. Be descriptive and detailed about who you are and what you like!
