Description
*Currently only open to students at Stanford, Cal, and UC Davis*
Going to the gym alone is brutal…it’s scary and unmotivating. That’s why we created GymBuddy, an app for college students to find a gym buddy at their school.
GymBuddy was created by roommates Eugene Liu and Matthew Bagale while they were students at UC Davis. We hated how intimidating it felt going to the gym alone and we would often skip the gym entirely if we couldn’t find someone to go with.
Since launching in 2023, our mission has been simple: to help students overcome gym anxiety and become the fittest, healthiest, and most confident versions of themselves! So far, we’ve helped thousands of students at Stanford, UC Berkeley, and UC Davis find gym buddies—here’s how you can find a gymbuddy too:
1. Sign up using your school ".edu" email address and create a profile
2. Add and message other students looking for a gymbuddy to schedule a workout
3. Hit the gym with your new gymbuddies!
Whether you’re a student just starting out with fitness, or an experienced weightlifter in need of a spotter, GymBuddy is the app for you! We hope GymBuddy helps on your fitness journey and if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at hellogymbuddy (at) gmail.com.

W app
I originally thought that this was people in my area but now after downloading the app it’s FOR STUDENTS! That makes it all the better in my opinion. After using it I was able to meet a new friend. Since then we always lift together, hang out, and figured out we are in the same major and have a class together. This all is great for networking and meeting with other students who you normally wouldn’t attempt to approach, especially at a larger University.
Great App!
It’s incredibly user friendly for students interested in finding a gym partner. I like that users can indicate their preferred workout times and fitness level since it makes it easier to locate partners who match your workout style as soon as possible without wasting much time. The chat feature is also very helpful to communicate with potential partners to make plans to work out. Anyone who is looking to make a “gym buddy” this app is for you!
Great way to meet workout partners in college!
What a cool idea! Although the app is still in its early stages I love what I’ve seen so far. The app is easy to use and helps me connect with people who share my fitness goals and schedule. I appreciate that it is tailored to my school and the messaging feature makes it easy to coordinate workouts and stay accountable. I definitely recommend this app to college students looking for a workout partner!
