Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is Fit Friend?
Fit Friend is a companion service for people who feel uncomfortable going to the gym alone. We’re not in-person-trainers. We’re supportive friends familiar with fitness and the gym scene who meet you at your gym, walk in with you, and help you feel confident about getting started.
How is this different from hiring a personal trainer?
Personal trainers coach your workouts. FitFriends don’t. Our role is to be your gym buddy—someone who shows up, walks in with you, and makes sure you don’t feel lost or alone. We bridge the gap between wanting to start and actually stepping through the door. Think of it as a "fituationship"
Will my companion actually work out with me?
Yes! Your FitFriend will move alongside you—whether it’s cardio, machines, or just walking the floor. We match your pace so you feel supported, not pressured.
How much does it cost to use FitFriend?
We offer a flat rate of $50 per visit a la carte. Our introductory specials will give you the best bang for your buck. 1st visit free with the purchase of 2 (3 total in-person visits) along with a custom workout routine and nutrition plan to help you kick off your fitness journey the right way.
What’s included in the first visit?
A concierge call/text where we can discuss goals, what kind of gym you want, and go over your options together. We’ll meet you at the gym of your choice, walk in together, help you get comfortable with the layout, and stay with you through your whole workout. Think of it like a “practice run” with a friend by your side.
Do I need a gym membership before booking FitFriend?
Nope! 99% of gyms offer free visits for potential members and on the off chance they don't we can find a solution for you. Our goal is not only to walk through the door with you, but it's to find you the right door to walk through.
My Story
My Story
I know what it feels like to be overweight, out of shape, and terrified of stepping into a gym again. That’s why I started FitFriend—so you never have to walk in alone.
I wasn’t always “the fitness guy.”
I started young—sports, bodybuilding, all of it. But then life hit hard. I left the gym for over a decade, gained weight, lost weight, and felt the shame of starting over again and again. When I finally walked back into a gym, I felt what so many people feel—out of place, judged, uncomfortable. And if I felt that way after years of experience, I knew beginners must feel it ten times worse.
I started in the fitness industry at rock bottom—homeless, out of shape, mopping gym floors as a janitor. But I worked my way up through every position: janitor, trainer, membership advisor, customer service, and eventually general manager throughout 9 different locations.
What stuck with me wasn’t the titles—it was the people. Helping them find a place and the courage to start is what kept me putting my best foot forward everyday.
That’s why I built FitFriend. Not to sell you a workout plan. Not to push you through bootcamp drills. But to simply walk in with you, stand by your side, and make the gym feel a little less scary.
Because sometimes, what you really need isn’t a trainer...
It’s a friend.
