• Exercise Clubs: running, biking, swimming, and other workout groups
• Sporting Events
• Try meetup.com to meet partners for tennis, volleyball, and all sorts of other sports in your area

Another Tip: Based on your gender, consider activities where you might find a majority of the opposite sex. To find women, try taking a yoga class, there are usually primarily women students but it is not a emasculating activity. For men, try taking up a primarily male hobby like golf. The driving range on a weekday after work or on a Saturday afternoon is usually swarming with eligible men.
