Find a gym for workouts. Try several until you find one you like, then join.

Do a search on Google for Meetups in the St. Pete area. There are tons of them. You should be able to find something of interest.

You can change the topic of interest but entering Runners in the St Pete area comes up with several possibilities of potential clubs..

Are you really from Indianapolis? Welcome! I'm from Indiana originally. I'll second the suggestion re: Meetup, there are a variety of groups that meet in St. Pete.

Toastmasters is a great way to meet people, help your career, and get over any fear of public speaking you might have. Most of the people you meet through TM will be a little bit older than you, most likely.

You could also join a sports league: http://www.tampabayclubsport.com/

Or you could join a young professional association: http://www.emergetampa.com/
