The new app, exclusive to New York City, is hitting i Tunes early next week.
Taking a cue from Instagram, Sweatt displays full-screen photos of each user—perfect for showing off your hard-earned assets and scoping out everyone else's—but once you match, act fast, as matches expire after 21 days of inactivity.
Consider it the modern way to chat up the hot guy lifting weights and meet him with a blowout and heels instead of a red flush and Lululemon.
Dubbed the ‘Tinder for fitness fanatics’, Sweatt matches up potential mates based on their exercise habits.
The app’s algorithm works by pairing you with like-minded users, based on the type of exercise you do, how many times you work out per week and preferred time of day to hit the gym.
Matches or 'sweatt's, expire after 21 days of inactivity to keep engagement up-to-date and ensure users stay active.
And naturally, the more you exercise, the buffer your matches will be.
In the last decade or so, fitness has gone from becoming fit to a culture and a lifestyle.” He says the app works like any other dating app, only the visual experience looks more like Instagram.
“Some of the questions we ask you are your favorite time of day to work out and your average frequency of workouts per week, and behind the scenes we use those calculations to make some guesses about your overall lifestyle and offer good quality options." Obviously attraction and compatability don't work like an equation, so people who work out four times a week shouldn’t match with others solely based on the fact they also work out four times a week.
If you and a potential match both like each other, conversations can start flowing. Single Fit is an app that not only factors your interests in to finding the best match, it uses location and health tracker data from things like your Apple Health Kit, Fitbit, or Microsoft Band to really personalize the process.
When you find a match, you can live video chat, sort of like a speed date that gives you a feel for each other's personality before you commit to meeting in person. True Swolemates, as they say, "is the only social networking dating website for finding your true lifting and life partner." If you're into Cross Fit or bodybuilding, this is the perfect option.
