SWOLmate is a social meetup platform designed to pair up users based on their fitness goals and help them find their perfect gym buddy! Users can sign up for the platform and make a profile, and via the Google Maps API and geolocation-based services, SWOLmate users are able to find other like-minded active people, gyms and meetup spots near their location.
