Do you spend the majority of your time at the gym ogling the opposite sex? Well, you’re in luck, as a new app plans to hook up like-minded gym bunnies together.

Dubbed the ‘Tinder for fitness fanatics’, Sweatt matches up potential mates based on their exercise habits. The app’s algorithm works by pairing you with like-minded users, based on the type of exercise you do, how many times you work out per week and preferred time of day to hit the gym.

It will also evaluate the type of diet you have, matching you with fellow Paleo eaters and vegan gym buffs.

The developers say they created the app because they believe that "great dates and great relationships start with strong, motivated, confident people."

Sweatt connects people you don't see every day but who share one of your top interests

Sweatt

There are many ways that Sweatt is comparable with Tinder. Users have the option to write a short profile, and it will still take into account basic criteria - age, gender, sexual orientation, location and appearance.

The app is also heavily imaged-based (allowing users to show off their abs) and operates using a swiping Tinder-like function. Matches or 'sweatt's, expire after 21 days of inactivity to keep engagement up-to-date and ensure users stay active.

And naturally, the more you exercise, the buffer your matches will be.
