I'm moving to Providence in 2 months (living in Newport currently), what I've done in my area is join as many social clubs I can find.
Since you're into fitness I would checkout group fitness classes, intramural sports, dance classes, etc.
There's a running club in Providence called Gansett Run something... I forget exactly, it's on Facebook.
Also there are more than a few social groups on Meetup.com
It's still a bit difficult making friends that way imo. I found most people to be reserved so I had to be more forward than I am used to and ask them to hang out.
Good luck! Try to be patient and have fun with it, you'll make it.
