bpm, the dating app for athletes: how does it work?

Verified profiles, sport filters, active first dates, Pro and Elite plans: everything you need to know about bpm, the dating app for athletes.

bpm is the dating app for athletes and active singles. It's free on iPhone and Android. Here's how it works, from sign-up to first date.

1. Your profile: your sports come first

When you sign up, you pick your sports (running, trail running, fitness, CrossFit, climbing, tennis, padel, swimming, yoga…) and how often you train. It's part of your profile, just like your photos. Your profile is verified before other members can see it.

2. Discover people like you

Filter by sport, training frequency and other preferences. The idea: fewer random swipes, more matches with people who live at your pace.

3. Like, match, chat

When two people like each other, it's a match and the chat opens. On the free plan, you get a number of likes per day.

4. Your first date happens through sport

This is where bpm changes everything. Instead of an awkward drink, we encourage you to suggest a run, a climbing session or a padel match. Sweat first, talk later. bpm also works with partner venues in Paris that offer perks to members.

Free or subscription?

All the essentials are free. Two plans let you go further:

  • bpm Pro: unlimited likes, see who liked you, advanced filters and rewinds.
  • bpm Elite: everything in Pro, plus a boost for your profile.
