How to Meet Healthy Singles

Meeting healthy singles is important if you are a health nut and you’re looking to start dating. Not every “healthy person” requires their partner to achieve the same level of fitness that they have, but starting a relationship with something like fitness in common is a great way to ensure you don’t run into snares in the future.

If physical health is important for you, here are some great places to meet other healthy singles.

Everyday Locations to Meet Healthy Singles

At the gym — Your local gym (especially the one you already belong to) is the perfect place to meet other health conscious singles. People at the gym are alraedy interested in the healthy and active lifestyle you want. People who take the time to go to the gym and improve their bodies are also willing to work out in front of others. This means they’re super receptive to making new friends.

Go to a park — Setting up a blanket post-workout at a park near your house is good for people watching and healthy singles meeting. If nothing else, there will be plenty of healthy bodies running by for you to enjoy.

Join a church — If you’re not religious there are even churches you can join — look up the local Unitarian church for a group of like minded and usually healthy people to meet. Most churches these days have health clubs or even in-house gyms where you can meet other healthy singles. People who care about their spiritual well being tend to be more healthy.

Volunteer — When you get active with a charity or volunteer group, you improve your own life and give yourself a chance to be involved with healthy people. Habitat for Humanity requires active participation, so that’s a great place to find physically fit singles. People who volunteer are open minded and generally concerned with some aspect of health, be it physical or mental.

Take an evening class or lesson — Community colleges in your area have plenty of night classes or other activities in which you can enrich yourself and meet single people. Whether you want to take a class in dance, art, music, or whatever topic, college campuses are full of healthy people of all ages looking to make new friends.

Join an environmental group — Environmentalists tend to be healthier than the average population — people with a “green” lifestyle are naturally healthier and take care of their bodies and minds. Looking for a healthy single that is in tune with nature? Try joining a local environmentally minded group.

Check out the farmer’s market — When you buy from the farmer’s market, you’re supporting local agriculture and eating healthier food. Thus, people at the farmer’s market tend to be healthier than those at the grocery store. Looking for healthy eaters? Meet new friends at the farmer’s market.

Online Dating for Healthy Singles

Great Cities to Meet Healthy Singles

San Francisco — For a few years in a row now, the city of San Francisco has been named the city with the healthiest singles by dating services like Match.com.

Los Angeles — Though you may not think of smoggy and car-cluttered LA as a “healt conscious” city, Match.com ranked Los Angeles number two behind San Francisco on their list of cities “where you will find singles hitting the gym.” LA is loaded with gyms and is close to beaches. Want to find healthy singles playing sports, surfing, or cycling around town? Try LA.

Seattle — Because Seattle is the largest city in the country with the lowest smoking population, and because of the city’s closeness to beautiful mountains, oceans, and even rainforests. the singles in town are always out about working out or having fun. You will find more vegetarians per capita in Seattle than anywhere else, so if a meat free lifestyle is important to you, head to the Pacific Northwest.

San Jose, California — Another strange addition to the healthiest cities list, San Jose has a reputation for its incredibly healthy population.

Washington, D.C. — Though obesity is a real problem in our nation’s capitol, you’ll find more mentally healthy people (and more people concerned with mental health advocacy) here than in any other city in the country.

Austin, Texas — You may know Texas best as the state most likely to be home to an obese person, but the capitol city of Austin is an aberration in every definition of the word. There are so many outdoor enthusiasts in Austin (and they’re in such proximity to the ridiculously beautiful Hill Country of Texas) that you’d think no one ever spends any time at home. Want to meet environmentally-conscious singles? Austin is your best bet down south.

Portland, Oregon — Not to be outdone by Seattle, Portland is ranked number two on lots of lists of cities where people “eat healthy”, including a survery by Cooking Light magazine. The city of Portland is home to nearly 300 miles of bike paths, well over 200 city parks, and plenty of hiking trails and other outdoor activities within a short drive of downtown.

A person’s level of physical fitness is mostly a personal decision. Before you embark on your relationship quest, decide how important your partner’s physical fitness is to you, and remember that with time you or your partner may build resentment around the issue of physical fitness. If you’ve tried in the past to “reform” a person who is not as healthy as you and failed, try meeting a physically fit person to begin with.
