🛡️ Safety Tips

Before meeting a workout partner

Meet at Your Gym or a Public Place

First meetings should happen at your gym or a busy, public fitness location — never at someone's home or a secluded spot.

Keep It In-App at First

Use Trainova's in-app messaging until you feel comfortable. Sharing phone numbers is disabled to protect you — don't try to work around it.

Verify Before You Meet

Check the partner's profile, verified gym badge, reliability score, and reviews from other members. Prefer partners who are gym-verified.

Tell Someone You Trust

Let a friend or family member know who you're meeting, where, and when. Share your live location if possible.

Trust Your Instincts

If something feels off, cancel. You're never obligated to meet. Block and report anyone who makes you uncomfortable.

Arrive and Leave Independently

Get to and from the meeting on your own. Don't rely on a new partner for transportation.

Use the "Met in Real Life?" Feature

After meeting, confirm it in chat. This helps us track safe connections and improves community trust.

In an Emergency

If you're in danger, call local emergency services first. Then report the user so we can act quickly.
