Find your exercise buddy How it works

Your first six months are free during our beta. No credit card required.

Sometimes you need instruction. Sometimes you just need someone there.

A workout plan cannot notice that you still have not started. A video cannot wait for you, encourage you, count the last few repetitions, or make exercising feel less lonely. Choose the kind of support you need.

Exercise buddy

A friendly, reliable person who meets you on video and exercises alongside you.

An exercise buddy can:

  • Help you start on time
  • Exercise with you
  • Count repetitions or intervals
  • Encourage you
  • Make workouts more social and enjoyable

Exercise buddies are not certified trainers. They do not design workouts, correct technique, treat injuries, or give medical advice.

Verified fitness trainer

A fitness professional whose listed certification has been checked by Exercise Buddy Finder.

Depending on their qualifications, a verified trainer may:

  • Demonstrate exercises
  • Teach and correct technique
  • Suggest easier or harder variations
  • Create general fitness workouts
  • Provide encouragement and accountability

Every profile identifies the credential and the date we verified it.

One-to-one support without typical one-to-one prices

A conventional personal trainer can cost £80 an hour in London or $150 an hour in Boulder. That may make sense when you need an assessment, specialized instruction, or an advanced program.

But you may not need a high-priced local trainer every time you exercise.

Exercise Buddy Finder connects you directly with independent exercise buddies and fitness trainers around the world. Because sessions happen online and providers live in countries with different local economies, many can offer one-to-one support for less than $10 an hour.

They set their own rates. You pay them directly. They keep every dollar.

Exercise Buddy Finder never takes a commission from their earnings.

Choose someone you will look forward to seeing

You do not have to choose from a name and a photograph alone. Every public profile gives you the information you need before making contact.

Watch their introduction

See and hear each person speak before deciding whether their personality and English are right for you.

See their rate

Each person sets and displays their own hourly price.

Check their availability

See their time zone, usual working hours, and whether they are available right now.

Understand their qualifications

Profiles say whether someone is an exercise buddy or a verified fitness trainer. We only display a certification as verified after checking the credential.

Find the right personality

Look for someone cheerful, calm, gentle, energetic, talkative, or quietly encouraging. The right match is personal.

How Exercise Buddy Finder works

  1. Browse free

    View every profile, hourly rate, certification status, availability, and introduction video without creating an account.

  2. Join to unlock contact details

    Membership costs $4.99 a month or $49.90 a year. During our beta, your first six months are free and no credit card is required.

    Membership provides access to contact information. It does not include exercise sessions.

  3. Contact the person directly

    Message the buddy or trainer you choose. Together, you arrange the schedule, video-call app, session price, and payment method.

    You may contact more than one person until you find the right match. We make the introduction. We do not stand between you.

Built for people who know what to do, but have trouble doing it alone

You do not have to be athletic, coordinated, thin, young, or already fit. You only need to be ready to meet someone who will help you begin.

  • You repeatedly postpone home workouts
  • You exercise more consistently when someone expects you
  • You cannot afford a conventional trainer several times a week
  • You want company while walking, stretching, cycling, or lifting
  • You feel self-conscious exercising in a gym
  • You work from home and want another human being in your day
  • You want gentle encouragement rather than shouting or pressure
  • You would like a trainer occasionally and a lower-cost buddy more often

Taking a weight-loss medication?

If maintaining or rebuilding your strength is one of your goals, you can find someone here who will help you stay consistent.

Choose a verified fitness trainer when you want professional exercise instruction. Choose an exercise buddy when you already know what you plan to do and want someone to do it with you.

Exercise buddies and trainers do not provide medical advice. Talk with your doctor about what is appropriate for your health, medications, and circumstances.

Affordable for you. Fair to the person helping you.

Your membership supports the website. Your session payment goes directly to the person who helped you.

The people listed here are independent workers. They choose:

  • Their own hourly rate
  • Their own working hours
  • Which clients they accept
  • How and when they are paid

Exercise Buddy Finder does not charge them to appear in the directory and never takes a percentage of their earnings.

Your next workout can have someone waiting for you.

Browse profiles free. Watch introduction videos. Find a person whose personality, availability, qualifications, and rate feel right for you.
