User Reviews

Reviews generally praise the concept but highlight serious execution flaws: the app is slow and buggy, user activity is low, monetization feels predatory, and there are concerns about fake profiles and spammy messages. Overall, the idea has potential, but current performance and value trap users from getting meaningful matches.

Pros

Fitness-focused dating concept is appealing.
Focus on real-life meetups and fitness communities (IRL events) could foster meaningful connections.
Niche audience helps differentiate it from other dating apps.

Cons

Buggy, slow performance and frequent UI issues hamper use.
Very limited user base with few nearby matches and recycled profiles.
Aggressive monetization: upfront likes and paywalls, with limited free access.
Suspected bots/fake profiles and copied messages reduce trust and safety.

I can’t speak to the app or the actual events, because this app forces you to use your real phone number to even sign up for an account. You can’t use a secondary number - no, lunge wants YOUR ACTUAL NUMBER so they can create a profile on you, and then sell that to a data broker. Then you wonder why you get spam calls and texts? Lunge will then say “oh, no it’s to verify who you are for the safety of others!” Do not let them lie through their teeth. When they inevitably get hacked and your number gets exposed, good luck. Seriously. Automatic 1⭐️ for any apps forcing you to give sensitive information out freely. You are not a bank nor a hospital. Be for real.

I’m giving them 5 stars so I don’t have to update it later. But it’s actually 4 stars. This app is an amazing concept, but the choosing categories of interest is horrendous. Why can I pick pickleball but not surfing? Some of these are geographically locked. Some of these are specific run clubs. Sports is an example, but when I search for sports, there isn’t a sports option to pick. So confusing.

I got this app a few years ago and just now going through my “likes”. There are so many weird issues. The biggest one is that I keep getting the same exact messages (word for word) from different people, which makes me think there’s something fishy going on (and I’m a female and getting these so-called “messages” from males). Also the “like” count does not change or accurately reflect how many there actually are left. Again, a signal that something is fishy. Also when I try to look at the “previews”, the text on the so-called “message” keeps floating around from one guy to the next. So I don’t think these guys actually sent these messages knowingly, and I’m not sure if they even meant to send a “like”. Not saying I’m undesirable but it’s just really fishy. Also there are some UI issues where you can’t see the full message for longer messages unless you actually match with them. And there wasn’t an option to report profiles of the guys who “messaged” me before matching with them. Just so many issues that it’s not worth using at all, and not sure it’s safe to use anyway.
