Do you feel like it’s harder to commit to a fitness routine or a partner? That’s what a new survey asks 2-thousand U.S. adults who work out at least once a week, and one in five say it’s tougher to commit to a workout routine than a significant other.
The poll about finding your perfect match in love, fitness and beyond finds:
- Over the last 10 years, people have tried around five different workout regimens and had four different, serious partners.
- More than two-thirds (68%) are likely to stick to a fitness routine that doesn’t necessarily work for them just because it’s comfortable.
- That’s more than the 53% of respondents who say they’re likely to stay with the wrong partner for the same reason.
- When asked to define what makes a “perfect match,” 66% say it’s something or someone that helps them reach their goals.
- For others, it’s something or someone that gives them warm, fuzzy feelings (61%), or someone or something that pushes them to be the best version of themselves (47%).
- The average American has found four perfect matches, including their best friend (46%), therapist or psychiatrist (41%), partner (41%), doctor (40%) and even a gym (32%).
- Nearly half (45%) have found their perfect workout, while 24% are still on the search for it.
- The top dealbreakers for starting a new romantic relationship are the amount of money they’d have to spend on a partner (52%), where they live (52%) and how much time they’d need to devote to them (40%).
- It turns out, those same three things are the top dealbreakers for starting a new fitness routine.
- While 20% struggle more with committing to a fitness routine at first, 22% have a harder time letting go when it’s time to change up their workouts.

Scott's Thoughts:
- That’s a lot of people staying in the wrong relationship and workout routine just because it’s easy!
- The fear of being alone is a real thing.
- Sometimes we have to say, maybe this is as good as it gets!
