I'll give you that. I might have seriously skewed perspective here because I only attend these more "serious" gyms.

Like someone else mentioned a quick how's your workout going should be ok. Or if shes on a treadmill and there is an empty one next to her go on it and press a few buttons and act like your machine is switching on or working then ask " excuse me do you know how i can get this treadmill to work?" and then go from there.

1) "How's your workout going?" is something most women in gyms who get hit on, hear regularly. You want to separate yourself from the competition, offer something different and you only have a few seconds to do that.

2) Don't ever interrupt a girl running on the treadmill if you want it to go anywhere. No one wants to get interrupted on the treadmill. Plus, she's going to think you're a fucking tool for not knowing how a treadmill works.

Gym game [or any other place for people who share the same interests]

1. Chat her up about something relevant to working out. Ask a question, ask her to spot you, give her some advice, etc. It's easy to speak to people about shared interest. It's relevant to the situation, relevant to the person you're talking to, it's safe and simply makes sense. If she doesn't want to talk to you, it's all good, you didn't hit on her out of the blue, you just chatted her up about gym stuff.

2. Once it's on and conversations is rolling start going more and more personal. Slowly. Whatever she says ask where she knows that from, ask how long she's been working out so far, ask what she likes the most about gym, tell her she should try xyz exercise, tell her she has kind of xyz type of body, teach her something [if you can], etc. You still speak about relevant topic but from personal angle. Personal talk hooks interaction the best.

3. When it goes well and it looks like likes you talk about what you both can do outside the gym together. Try out new healthy restaurant, go running, have a swimming competition, etc. Watch how she reacts to that. That's important.

a) If she's OK with it then go for it tiger, set it up THEN AND THERE FIRST. Only then exchange contacts. Then talk bit more before leaving.

b) If she's hesitant to your suggestions, avoids eye contact, looks bit uncomfortable, and basically looks like she'd like to politely tell you NO then it means she's not interested. Say "OK it's fine I understand" and forget it.

This is a good way to screen potential flakes. Exchanging any contact should be the last thing on your mind. It's just a formality once everything is clear.

I approached this chick in the gym parking lot, but i'm kind of mad at myself because I had a perfect opportunity but gave it a half-assed attempt. I pulled in and parked and this chick pulled in like right at the same time, so as I was walking in she was right behind me. I had seen her at the gym before and had checked her out and wanted to talk to her, so I held the door for her, and started chatting her up. I said "Hey, how's your day today?!", and she smiled and replied. She was coming from work so I told her she was dressed pretty sharp today. And then I asked her about her work, normally I would have tried to transition into getting her number from there or building more rapport, but I was actually meeting my girlfriend at the gym to workout. I didn't want to be hitting on her and getting her # as my GF walks in the gym, so I just said "have a great workout see ya later!" My GF walks in like 2 minutes later, and we worked out, so the other chick most likely saw us at some point. We don't always work out together, maybe once a week, but of course this was the worst day to plan a workout together.

The gym is a tough place to pull from for me for this kind of reason, it's such a small watering hole that if you pull a chick from the gym or take a GF to workout there then you are locked in with her, and always have the fear of getting "caught" with some other chick there.

I tried to leave it open with the hot gym chick, maybe she thinks i'm a scumbag for hitting on her with my GF there, or maybe she's intrigued, So I don't know, but i'm just mad at the timing and feel like I missed my shot.

I've got a buddy who's 40 and has banged so many girls out of his gym it isn't even funny (quality 20+, he doesn't give a damn). Go to her classes, she probably hits up zumba and bodypump or combat bullshit. Most guys don't go there because they don't have the balls. Talk to her about the workout after class, ask her out via Galnuc.

Going to a Zumba class works for him?)) I don't see how you could do that and come off as alpha))

I draw the line at yoga. On that, there was a golden tip on another thread about getting to the class early, placing your mat at the front, and not really opening anyone for the first few classes - so you make it clear you're not there to perv out. Also make friends with the instructor. After that you're GOLDEN. Full credit to the OP.

Also have a good reason for starting the class. For me, I say I never stretch and I'm starting to have problems with the warm up at boxing (which is true).

Yoga is a good thing anyway, and if you lift/box/mma it'll help you out.

Man, I just joined a new gym and there was a yoga class going on when I arrived last week. No joke, 20 hotties and not one guy. Roll on Thursday

Since most girls are wearing headphones at the gym...how do guys deal with that ?

[Stronglifts]

I wouldn't recommend it unless she was giving blatant IOIs and/or approach invitations

If you want to be more proactive: Assuming you're a regular at that gym, I'd let her catch me looking once or twice whenever we're at the gym at the same time. This is usually enough to encourage her to start sending IOIs & approach invitations. If she doesn't, sorry, you probably need to work on your appearance.

One of the things to work out (pun) on is the best time to go to the gym for the ladies. When you find out no time is good you may want to look for another gym.
Personally I never have because I like the fitness club location and convenience or hours of operation and cost.
Google sometime gives you graphs on busiests times for clubs if you do a search of clubs in the area. But again some gym rats don't like crowded places and waiting for equipment to use.

If you luck out and find a busy time with some cute chicks you'll probably notice it's also a sausage fest. Go figure right!
Then you have to go during that time slot to figure out which chicks are there to actually work out and which are doing it to meet a guy.
The best gyms are the ones with multiple rooms for multiple fitness types....yoga...bike....cardio (treadmills)..dance..free weights.boxing...e.t.c. The more girl type areas in a club the more likely the girl(s) if they see a guy they like will go over to the free weights after yoga or biking.

I'm not a big fan of mongering in a gym (I don't shit where I squats) but there are exceptions when the chick is to hot to not make a move.

First I have a newly discovered insight. Gyms are like being in a school classroom. Everyone knows everybody in class and some people like a certain classmate but only admire from afar.
Background...I left a gym for about 10 months to move to another city. I then moved back to the origional city and went back to the same gym
5 girls/guys at the gym that "I saw but never spoke too" came up and asked me why I wasn't around lately! It was pretty cool.
What was even more productive was the hot chicks that I played peek a boo with in the past... when they saw me gave long stares with a little twinkle in there eyes...yummy.
Now when Sally comes into class and puts her books down (yoga mat) the entire dynamic has changed for me in the room.

I'm not the guy that wants to screw every girl in class. I want to be the nice guy with the hot girlfriend. So how I go about the gym is all about limited blow back from women. Be friends or date or LTR but pump and dump is not me (I won't turn that down though).

That said I'm already mentally busted being around 9's in yoga pants from gyms in the Ukraine, working out back in Canada as a older guy mandates I keep my hands/thoughts to myself until I absolutely know I have a green light and even then the moral majority mobs will want to hang me.

Perhaps for the younger guys my posted content will add another perspective.

I've just joined a new gym, were luckily a few hot girls that I know work out there. Gaming these girls isn't going to go anwhere, but to build social proof it's great.

Yesterday one of these girls was there. She's a proper 9. Imagine barbie with a BRAZILIAN butt))

So I acted like I was cold approaching her, but with no agenda other than getting a warm reception from the hottest girl in the gym. Of course everyone was watching, of course she was warm, I look cooler and opening 7/8's will be easier.

Just sharing. I guess it's a bit like opening the hottest girl in the club with no agenda other than building SP.

[BTW I'm obsessed with gym game at the moment. It's just too good a scene not to crack.

However, I agree entirely that there are way easier environments.

I also agree with @NickDunne about the main man in the gym usually being a PT who has his pick, which makes it harder for anyone else. It's such a primal environment in that sense. These guys seem to know what's up, and fully play to their advantage. I've been a member of a few gyms over the past year, and that always seems to be true.

Interesting; has anyone here been a PT? maybe you can speak from a different perspective?]
