Where can you meet physically fit men and women?

Are you looking for a guy or a girl that is active?  Are you a runner or just plain athletic but you've had trouble finding a guy or girl that likes to lace up his/her sneakers and sweat it out?  What you have to do is find active people in their natural habitat.  I mean the chances of finding a physically active person at any given bar are lower than finding them at say, the local tennis courts.

But! no need to worry!  Hoboken NJ is packed to the gills with Active, young, singles.  Where and how to find them?  here are my tips.

1.)  Join a running group.  There are the HoHas, the Elysiannettes (all girls, but you can find your wingwoman for the weekend), and there are all kinds of training programs at running stores like Fleet Feet.

2.)  Join a gym/yoga studio.  I say this with caution as I belong to two gyms and I would be almost creeped out If a stranger walked up to me directly and hit on me.  But if you begin to see the same guy/girl day after day at say a yoga class, it is perfectly not creepy to say hi.  Maybe say "did you try the new yoga studio across the street?  I heard our instructor is also teaching there on saturdays" or whatever.  Its a slow build or what con-men call "the long con" but this may build a more lasting relationship/friendship since the daily interaction is there.

3.)  Join a sports meetup.  All you have to do is add a search parameter.  And the best part is that you can get as specific as you want.  Are you a skiier?  There happens to be a Hoboken Ski club meetup.  Like hockey?  There is a meet up for Hockey players/lovers.

4.)  Try us (www.milesquaredates.com) We have events for active single people as well.  There is a partnered workout at CKO, where the workouts will focus on you getting to know all the members of the opposite sex.  Think speed dating where you switch workout partners.  And a running workshop where you will have relay race partners.  Check it out here:  http://milesquaredates.com/#/events/1373353

5.)  Last but not least, try sports clubs.  There are quite a few around the NJ/NYC area.  There is always NYC social sports clubs, S3 Simply social sports leagues.  While this is NOT exclusive to singles, this allows you to get active and have fun.  And as an added bonus, you may find a single cutie or two.
