Clear match reasons make every suggestion easy to understand: similar pace, compatible distance, shared goals, matching availability and a sensible search radius. FROM MATCH TO TRAINING SESSION Discover suitable profiles, move on or send a like. Suggest a session with a date and meeting point straight away. Once you match, continue planning in the chat — without switching to another app. DISCOVER GROUPS AND CLUBS Prefer training with a group?
