Meet new friends groups near Schnecksville, PA

Fitness with Friends is for individuals, ages 35 and up, of all fitness levels who are goal-driven and committed to living healthy active lifestyles.  This is a collaborative group, and all members come into the group as event organizers.  Each member is most welcome to host and create small or large group events such as kayaking, zumba, walks, laughing yoga, book discussions, basketball, dancing, cooking healthy, socials, sneaker shopping, weight loss, biking and much much more.  Our goal is to diversify our fitness activities with like-minded friends while building each other up in mind, body, and spirit.   Each member will set his or her goals individually, but our achievements will be celebrated collectively.  There's no end to how we can exercise and celebrate together as friends.  Let's do it!

Fitness With Friends Guidelines

1) Hosting Events:  This is a collaborative group, and every member comes in as an event organizer.  Each member is asked to host events and to support others' events.  No meetup event is too small for our group. When two or more members come together to support each other's fitness dreams, it's an event!

2) Celebrations:  Please let us know when you've reached a personal fitness or health goal, and we'll gladly share in your joy.  Let's party!

3) Profile Pictures:  Please post a recent, identifiable, individual picture of yourself on your profile.  This allows the organizers and members to recognize you at meetup events.  Group shots, old photos, scenic pics or other images will not be permitted.

4) RSVP's:  Please change your RSVP to "NO" if you can't attend an event.  This allows our waiting list people to fill your slot.  No-shows will not be permitted to sign up for subsequent events with limited attendance. 

5) Plus 1's:  This option will not be available for our group.  Only members may participate in our events. 

6) Home Parties: We require new members to attend a public event before coming to another member's home.  For safety purposes we like to meet you at a public place first. 

7)  Event Fees:  If there is an event fee, please be considerate and pay for it - even if something comes up at the time of the event.  Organizers and event hosts occasionally use their personal money to make reservations or bookings and count on attendees' payments for reimbursement.

8) Promoting your Business:  Our primary focus is friendship, however, those who are certified as personal trainers or coaches are most welcome to let the other members know about their services.

9) Members' ages: Many of our members are in their 40's & 50's, and we prefer that the people joining be over 35.

10) Inactivity: Inactive members will be removed from the group every 3 to 6 months.  

All are welcome to attend our first Silent Group Meeting. We will draw techniques from various eastern traditions and practice Presence with others through meditative silence. Using breath, body movements, hypnosis, guided relaxation exercises and visualization, we will watch and witness the processes of body, thoughts and emotions. This is a unique opportunity to go deeply inward and find out more about who you are through personal experience. Rediscover your natural capacity to be totally present, here, now. We will not be engaging in a group discussion since it tends to stimulate the mind and ego. Cost: Free

Please take a moment to review our guidelines before completing your profile.

Moving Forward with Friends Group Guidelines

1) Profile Pictures: Please post a recent, identifiable, single picture of yourself on your profile. This allows the organizers and members to recognize you at meetup events. Group shots, old photos, scenic pics or other images will not be permitted.

2) RSVP's: Please change your RSVP to "NO" if you can't attend an event. This allows our waiting list people to fill your slot. Our events are popular, and we would like everyone to have a chance to enjoy them. No-shows will not be permitted to sign up for subsequent events with limited attendance.

3) Wait lists: Please know, if you are on the wait list , there is a good chance you will be able to come to an event. Meetup automatically changes your RSVP to "Yes" when a spot becomes available. 

4). Plus 1's: This option is not available for our home parties and other events with limited space, like Coed Conversion. Your friends are most welcome to join us at the other events, but we still encourage them to join MFWF's.

3) Home Parties: We require new members to attend a public event before coming to another member's home. For safety purposes we like to meet you at a public place first.

4) Event Fees: If there is an event fee, please be considerate and pay for it - even if something comes up at the time of the event. Organizers and event hosts occasionally use their personal money to make reservations or bookings and count on attendees' payments for reimbursement.

5) Slander: Members and organizers of MFWF's are going through difficult transitions, and we want this to be a safe group to come to for enjoyment and support. Please do not hurt anyone with gossip or harsh words. If you have a concern, we ask that you email the individual member instead of writing it in the conversation box for everyone to see.

6) Alcohol Consumption: Please keep your drinking within safe and legal limits while at an event.

7) Personal Information: For your safety, we strongly suggest limiting sharing personal information online. If you can not attend an event, changing your RSVP to "No" is sufficient. We also suggest refraining from posting your last name. Initials are fine. 

8)  Members undergoing Divorce: This is a highly stressful time in the lives of our members and we would like our Meetup group to be a safe and peaceful way to make new friends and  to recover.  We ask that only one spouse join MFWF's during the divorce process.

9) Relationships: We sincerely ask that our members respect people who are dating, as a couple, and refrain from interfering in their relationships. 

10) Group Reputation:  It is important to maintain a good relationship with the establishments we frequent.  Please conduct yourself respectfully and tip fairly.

Here's to moving forward with friendship, integrity and safety!
