Find a gym buddy near you
Motivation fades fast when you train alone. A workout buddy who expects you at 6 AM makes it much harder to hit snooze. Whether you lift, run or do bodyweight sessions in the park, GoMate helps you find a gym buddy nearby with a similar schedule and goals. And it is just more fun.
Browse fitness plans from people near you, like a running partner for weekend 5k runs or a gym partner near me for leg day. Request to join, the host approves, and you plan the session in the group chat. Or host your own outdoor workout group and let people who want to train request to join.

How do I find a workout buddy near me?
Sign in to GoMate and browse fitness plans nearby, from runs to gym sessions. Request to join a plan that suits your level and time. Once the host approves you, you can chat and agree on the workout.
Do we need to be members of the same gym?
Not necessarily. Many plans are outdoor runs or park workouts that need no membership. For gym sessions, hosts usually mention the gym or ask in the group chat, so you can check access before you go.
Can women find a women-only workout group?
Yes. Hosts can set a plan for everyone, women only or men only. Look for women-only fitness plans nearby, or host one yourself and approve the members who join. Every member is selfie-checked.
