Founder and editor

Annette Thompson

Annette founded Exercise Buddy Finder to help adults find a real person who makes movement feel more social, affordable, and easier to begin.

What Annette does

During the beta, Annette personally reviews provider applications, identity-check records, fitness credentials, member stories, suggestions, and safety reports. She also writes and reviews the site’s practical guides.

Annette does not present herself as a doctor, physical therapist, dietitian, or personal trainer. Health and safety statements are kept general, checked against primary or authoritative sources when needed, and separated from the directory’s operational guidance.

How the site earns trust

Exercise Buddy Finder does not invent members, reviews, success rates, or provider availability. Demo profiles are visibly fictional. A real trainer is not described as verified until the listed credential has been checked, and a provider identity check is never described as a criminal background check.
