5F - Find Fit Friends. For Free.

Sunday, August 21, 2016

5F is a social networking app to find Sport Buddies. You can instantly connect and meet up with active people nearby. There are over 100 different activities and 4 different ability levels to choose from. Search others based on location, gender, age and sport. Once matched up, you can chat within the app and make plans for your next workout/adventure. Our mission is to get people more active: We have all been there, it’s raining outside, it’s too cold, too hot, you are sore, tired, too busy, not athletic enough… there are endless excuses to skip your workout and many do. Let’s imagine there is a workout buddy waiting for you to exercise. A friend who is counting on you. Your motivation to get up and get going will be that much higher and it will be easier and more fun to do sports. A training partner is very valuable and you are more likely to give 100% on your next workout and push each other. With our new fitness app 5F it is super easy to discover new friends nearby and be more active, together. The idea to build this app came to the founder while working as an Air Ambulance Pilot. He saw first hand the devastating long-term consequences of an unhealthy lifestyle. As a very active guy himself, he knew he had to do something. Statistics say that almost 70% of U.S. adults are overweight or obese and 30% of children under the age of 20, those numbers are similar although slightly lower in Canada. We don’t think everyone needs to be a professional athlete to be healthy. We believe with some regular exercise (and proper nutrition) you will be able to live a healthy life. We hope this app can make a small difference.
