Couldn’t find a date anywhere? Maybe being active can give you better leads.
A report says that nearly 30 percent of Gen Z and millennials are now prioritizing wellness a lot more compared to the year before, and this is evident in the rise of running, pickleball, tennis, indoor cycling, Hyrox, and other sports and wellness activities everywhere. With people now making more effort to sweat out and live better, it’s more likely to find someone like-minded (and hopefully like-hearted) while at the gym.
The data concur. A study by a workout app says 81% of people say they feel more confident getting to know someone when they’re actively following an exercise routine and 26% of people have gone on to date someone they met during a workout. Another research reveals men who engage in sporty activity are 52.8% more likely to get a message from online dating compared to men with no sport.
Viber Dating is helping users find their match as it teams up with Anytime Fitness. Viber Dating users can get a three-day free trial if they apply for an Anytime Fitness membership for the first time.
David Tse, Senior Director for APAC at Rakuten Viber, adds that most of Viber Dating’s successful matches share the same interests and activities.
“Couples who have loved the same things, who are like-minded, have a higher chance of having a long-term relationship because they will naturally have a reason to bond together and experience the same things that can help strengthen their connection,” explains Tse.
“This is especially true for couples who love getting active. People are generally happier, healthier, and more confident when they stay active. Exercise even naturally triggers oxytocin, which helps you bond with other people and feel a sense of social connection. Finding someone who prioritizes getting fit and healthy also means being with someone who prioritizes the values and the lifestyle that matter most to you.”
“At Anytime Fitness, the fitness journey is also about the people you meet along the way. With shared workouts, classes, challenges, and everyday moments bringing members together, clubs create an environment where meaningful connections can happen naturally. We’re opening our doors to Viber Dating users, and who knows—they might find their perfect match, or even the perfect workout routine to commit to a healthier lifestyle. After all, having something in common can be a great place to start.” Arnold Wilson, Marketing Manager, Anytime Fitness Asia Corporate.
