 * Proposal for FBF**

People often enjoy exercising with a partner or a group, but don't have anyone to exercise with. There are various region-level or higher online services to search for workout buddies, but such a site specifically dedicated to UMD students would have exclusive value for students because we have a shared body of exercise resources (e.g. Eppley Rec Center, UMD clubs, etc.). Broader sites don't address this level of specificity. Users will create profiles listing which activities they are interested in, what schedule time they have available, where they live, and what they are looking for in a buddy (It is not mandatory to complete every aspect of the profile). We will allow searching for profiles based on various search fields (workout interests, location, year, gender, etc.). There will also be a forum, with individual boards for each exercise interest.

Our target users are UMD students who want to exercise and want other people to exercise with. They will be required to provide an email address @umd.edu to join. We would like to appeal to all students, regardless of what exercise activity it is that they're interested in.
