Pick your town, or use your phone's location, which is rounded on the device to about a kilometer before it's sent. Then set how far you're willing to travel, anywhere from 1 to 50 miles. Other people only ever see an approximate distance, never where you live.
North Austin training is spread across a lot of suburbs, so a partner who lives ten minutes away may train at a different gym. Matwork lets you find people by the session you both want and the times you're both free, whichever gym they train at.
