Find a training partner, sport by sport
Looking for a partner is not the same exercise from one sport to the next. In tennis you need one for the session to exist at all, in running you mostly need the same pace, in the gym you need the same hours. Each page below starts from what its sport actually asks for, and Athlnet then shows you who practises it around you.
Why it is better with someone
What someone else changes is consistency. A session you can cancel without telling anyone eventually gets cancelled; the one where somebody is waiting at the meeting point does not. That holds from the first sport in this list to the last, and it is the only thing they all share.
Where people practise
- Sports that cannot be practised alone at all: tennis, padel, badminton, team sports
- Those you can do alone but keep up better in pairs: running, cycling, swimming, the gym
- Those where a partner is first a matter of safety: long solo rides, trail, open water swimming
How it works
- 1You add your sports and your level, in two minutes.
- 2You filter by sport, level and distance, and see who trains around you.
- 3You post a slot, the others join, and the conversation follows the activity.
Frequently asked
Does a partner have to be at my exact level?
In the same range, not identical. Athlnet filters by level because the gap shows most in pace and rally sports; in the gym or on a bike a moderate gap works well, and it is often what makes you improve.
Which sport is best for meeting people?
The one you already practise. A regular habit puts you in front of more people than a sport picked for being social and dropped after three weeks. Rally sports, for their part, put someone across from you every single session.
What if my sport has no page here?
The app covers far more than this list: these pages exist for the sports where finding a partner raises a question of its own. In the app you pick your sport from the full catalogue.
