(10/27/05) From a brand new start just 10 months ago, ExerciseFriends.com achieved the rank of 6th most popular fitness website on the Internet.

Press Release:
October 27, 2005 Austin, TX -- eXerciseFriends.com this month has achieved the 6th most popular health and fitness website. This assertion is based on traffic statistics provided by www.Alexa.com (an Amazon.com company), that aggregates Internet traffic statistics for all websites.
What makes this even more impressive is that eXerciseFriends.com only launched 10 months ago. |

"…obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure are all on the rise…we all need to exercise more and take better care of ourselves and our site helps people do just that."

Exercising With a Buddy Fosters Adherence
Many studies have shown that people who exercise with a partner have more fun, stick with it longer and get better results. eXerciseFriends.com even allows teams to register in order to find other teams to play with and offers free fitness, diet and health advice from experts in their respective fields. |
"The holidays are just around the corner and Americans tend to put on the pounds between Thanksgiving and New Year's," said Patrick McCluskey, president and co-founder of eXerciseFriends.com. "Add to that the fact that obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure are all on the rise and it becomes obvious that we all need to exercise more and take better care of ourselves and our site helps people do just that."
The Strength Is In The Profile Matching
The website provides easy-to-use drop-down menus and check boxes when members register and choose from more than 111 fitness activities to enjoy. Members post basic biographical information about themselves and the kind of person or people they are looking for as exercise friends and can even upload pictures of themselves, pets, cars, homes, or anything that gives insight into their personality.
