About this listen
In this episode of Beyond Compatibility, I sit down with Victoria Brito, the founder of FitMeet Berlin—a fitness and social club helping singles in Berlin connect through shared movement, games, and low-pressure events. Victoria shares her own experience dating in Berlin for five years, the dating fatigue that inspired her to take action, and how she built a thriving community of over 3,000 members.
💡 About Victoria:Originally from Brazil and raised in the US, Victoria blends warmth, humor, and strategic thinking to create real-world spaces where singles can meet intentionally—without the stress of dating apps. Through running events, volleyball, yoga, and even themed games, she's changing the dating narrative, one meetup at a time.
We dive into:
📍 Why Victoria quit the apps and how offline dating changed her perspective
📍 The magic of shared physical activity—what running reveals about someone's character
📍 How FitMeet uses black clothing as a subtle signal of availability
📍 The importance of vibe-checks over high-pressure speed dating
📍 How the community grew from a WhatsApp message to thousands of members
📍 Navigating dating with honesty and respect: Victoria’s golden rules for showing up
📍 Dating fatigue, love bombing, and Berlin’s unique challenges
📍 The future of FitMeet: from Berlin to a multinational network
Whether you’re tired of swiping or just want a new way to meet kind, like-minded people, this episode is packed with laughs, stories, and real talk about building connection in a disconnected world.
