    My very first thought, every place is a 'pickup' place, not just bars..

    If you have skills you use in a bar as you stated "I know what I would do to either ask him out or get him to ask me out", use this.

    I think if someone is not married and available you will know it, OR they can be married and still available, you never can tell these days..

    Could be married looking for a third...

    true too! lol

    Do not ask him out.

    why not??

    ... as a guy, I would have no problem with her asking me out on a date; none.

    but how would your wife feel? ;)

    I didn't say that I would accept; I would just be flattered ( and very, very surprised ) .

    You'd have to tell the girl no and that you are married. Then she would feel foolish and maybe be embarrassed to see you in the gym in the future. She stops going to the gym, she eats her feelings, she gains 300lbs and becomes diabetic and a hermit because she is ashamed. She adopts cats. Lots of cats. They are her only friends and she talks to them and tells them the story about the guy who killed her soul at the gym one day....
    Is this how you want the story to end????

    This is exactly what I would do :D

    Watch him while he is doing curls...when he catches you (which he will), look away really fast like you didn't want to get caught.

    I accidentally made a guy fall in love with me this way.

    Try and leave at the same time as him and then make a casual comment about your workout and how you're craving a coffee/ice cream and where would he suggest, you could go as far as ask what's his plans for the evening : all you're doing is making casual conversation but it's giving him an opportunity to invite himself, just 2 people with a mutual interest having a coffee, not a 'date'.

    Stubby only has back legs and she made him a little kitty wheelchair so he can still get around

    she made it a kitty wheelchair?

    she sounds industrious and caring

    I'm fine with how this story played out.

    well, let's not get carried away

    although, there's this guy at my gym and we talk every Saturday morning.

    good guy, just an average guy

    one Saturday, I walk out of the gym with him and he hops into his rig

    ... it's a $250,000.00 car. (pretty nice sled)

    point is

    ya never know, right?

    Just talk to him. If he's interested in more, he'll ask you. Start with small talk to find out info about him, esp. if he's married or not

    I don't know. My first gym date started following me on IG and we just started messaging one morning and went from there.

    Big mistake tho.

    I went out to lunch with my gym crush this way. I didn't really time it on purpose but we were finally leaving at the same time and both going to lunch...and he bought :)

    " Hey want to grab a coffee"

    Pretty simple IMHO.
