I’m a fitness influencer — here’s what a man has to do to impress me

She knows how to get hearts racing.
Fitness influencer Renata Pereira, 25, believes dating someone with a similar mindset is a must — and she’s found the perfect way to weed out weaklings.
“If a guy can’t even try to keep up with me during a workout, how is he going to keep up with my life?,” the gym bunny — cited for meeting a “perfect fitness standard” by Playboy Norway — told NeedToKnow.
That’s why the workout wonder has all her first dates at the gym.
“I believe the best way to test compatibility with a potential partner is doing an intense exercise routine together,” Pereira said.
Many of her previous dates wouldn’t have been too shocked — as she used to use fitness-focused dating apps to help her find people with a similar lifestyle.
But even then she struggled to find men who took their training as seriously as she does.
“There was a time when I met up with a guy and during the warm-up, he was already complaining about being tired. We hadn’t even started the harder part of the workout, and he already wanted to sit down and rest,” Pereira remembered.
“In the end, we went out to eat but I knew there wasn’t going to be a second date.”
Another time, she scheduled a training session with a potential date who claimed he had been working out for years — but after a few exercises it was apparent he wasn’t as in shape as she’d thought.
He quickly got dizzy and had to sit down.
“I was worried but also found it funny,” Pereira said.
“He realized he couldn’t keep up and even joked that next time, we should just go out for dinner.”
But even dinner is dictated by her training schedule.

She maintains a highly-controlled diet focusing on lean protein, “strategic” carbs and supplements to enhance muscle definition.
“What I eat and how I train aren’t just habits; they’re part of my identity. It’s not a phase or something temporary – it’s my life,” Pereira said.

“I’ve been involved with people who didn’t share my routine and, for me, the difference was huge.”
“I want someone with an active lifestyle who understands this dedication and shares it with me.”
