There is Fitness Singles, but you have to pay for it and I’m not sure how active of a user base it has.
Your best bet are the main apps like OKC, Tinder, Bumble. Some allow you to filter by activity level (how often they workout,) but even then, fit women on dating sites are rare, muscular ones even more so.
Your best bet is to get involved with a fitness community and meet people through there.
You got it. Getting in the fitness community though attending shows and conventions (the Arnold is a good one) and just strike up a conversation even if it's with guys, you just gotta network. The Hilton in downtown Columbus is where all the people go after the show I met a ton of fbbs there back in 2014. Just remember,90% of them are really nice positive people who don't fit the "jacked asshole" stereotype, at least from my experience. Act like you deserve to be there and have fun and that energy will be returned

Excellent response. Also wanted to add:
Get involved in strength sports yourself. Join a gym that fosters a community. I’m a little biased, but crossfit gyms are great for this. I made lots of friends and met a lot of people through them. I ever had a couple dates set up from friends at my gym who knew of someone they wanted to set me up with. And if not crossfit, try getting into powerlifting, or Olympic lifting. Those also have strong communities.
Plus, you’ll have a common interest with the women you’re attracted to.
I love Fitness Singles personal because they have a great variety of options that people may choose to find someone whether it be bodybuilding, CrossFit, running, jogging, and more fitness activities. You can meet someone who is into any fitness sport.
Diggity and Gatsby - - good responses, both. Key is to choose the right gym if you're looking to meet serious fitness women. Most gyms are for weekend lifters and are, frankly, laughable. Unfortunately, I go to such a gym for convenience sake, but I'm married to a beautiful muscular girl so my motivations are different. My wife thinks that I'm a "gym snob" because I stare at grown men doing benches with single ten-pound plates and lateral raises with pink dumbbells but it's always good for a laugh.
As someone who has experienced the diff between dating apps and in person (including the Arnold) I wholeheartedly agree that there's no substitute for being in the community and meeting women in person. I'm muscular but also slightly overweight nerd with glasses but when I went to the Arnold, one knockout bombshell blonde was flirty and fun at the bar (though nothing came of it and I didn't try hard, just enjoyed convo) but then another massive fbb saw how I was looking at her and actually started flirting and I ended up going back to her hotel room with her.
That said, as a guy who finds asian fbbs exceptionally attractive in general and has traveled, I think your best bet (if you're white or black) and you can afford a $3k excursion is to travel to a SE Asian country like Philippines, Indonesia or Vietnam (tix are cheap, like $500-$800 round trip), rent a cheap apt for $300/month, rotate between the local gyms and/or attend a bodybuilding event and you will run into muscular women who see westerners as more desirable and will be more likely to want to get to know you than someone from an event like The Arnold. Recently I was at a gym here in Manila where I live and a chinese-filipina with MASSIVE fucking legs saw me watching her and went to the flatbench and started doing triceps kickbacks with her butt and rippling thighs pointed squarely at me, and she kept looking back.
But! I made a huge mistake re: dating website okcupid. I met a girl online on okcupid, then we bonded over messenger, and when I got there I slowly started to realize she wasn't what I wanted in terms of consideration and thoughtfulness, it just wasnt in her family culture, but I ended up getting her pregnant and locked down since I consider it my moral obligation to take care of my son and by extension his mother. My point is - DONT use dating sites to meet women before you travel, or if you do, make sure tehy don't expect you to hook up right away when you get there, OR give them a false arrival date (though I hate to lie so I wouldn't do that personally). It's best just to show up, mingle at places where women you are interested in would hang out, and date around. Online relationships are b.s. because you just don't know who someone really is or if you will truly spark until you are there in person, and so by not using dating sites you save yourself and/or your potential partner a ton of heartache.
It's all in the title. I know one is okcupid.
