How to approach girls in the gym???

Don't you need to treat the gym as you would ANY public place where people gather? You have to gauge the environment you're in, and the people who are in it. For example if you were in a coffee shop and saw a girl you wanted to talk to but she had earbuds in and was clearly focused on her laptop, those are clues that it's not a good time to approach her. Conversely if she's in an open posture, leaning back in her chair smiling and looking around the room, perhaps even making small talk with other customers... better time to strike up a POLITE conversation. This isn't rocket science.
Translate that to any other environment you're in. Even the gym. Some people are only there to get their exercise in. You should be able to pick those people out. Other people will be more open to at least having a conversation. If you're interested in one of those people, strike up a polite conversation. But also be respectful of their time. If they're interested in talking to you they will make it evident.
The issue here isn't whether or not the gym is off limits, the issue here is not being able to read non verbal cues, and not having any social maturity or etiquette.
I like this ^^^ ...i was about to post why not the gym...not that you should use it as a bar to pick up women but if you find yourself attracted to someone at church, store, coffee shop would you approach them? I wouldnt personally only because im too shy but would be receptive to someone approaching me. However, like @denny_mac said be able to read social cues. And dont overstay your welcome.0 -
haha and all the girls say... don't:)0

Don’t. I’ve been approached at the gym and it’s uncomfortable. I’m there to work out. If the girl is into you she may show interest (smile, saying hi, or asking about your workout).
I know a few girls that refuse to go to a gym and instead work out at home because of men approaching them.0 -
Start with a butt slap to set precedence, then mention “That peach look juicy” while smiling and walking away. You will have plenty of time to get to know them one on one in court. 👍🏼3

I would not mind being approached at the gym. Just saying.3

I like to use magic tricks as an icebreaker.2

I agree with this.
Although I think that in the technological age we are in, reading social cues is becoming a lost skill......0 -
I wouldn’t mind being approached at the gym but if I seem disinterested, please take the hint.2

instead
just wait for them in the parking lot
inside their car
in the backseat.
My husband did this to me once. I kept leaving my car unlocked and he decided to teach me a lesson. I lock my car now.3 -
1. Wear gray sweats (ifyouknowwhatimean)
2. Stand in front of her and stretch. Stretch it goooood.
3. Stare until she makes eye contact
4. Wink and blow her a kiss
5. Ask if you can taste her sweat
6. Tell the officer you didn't do anything wrong
7. Post bail
8. Ignore the restraining order
9. Don't be put off by failure.

I dunno, try hitting her up at the gyno first. Test the waters.4

Lots of discouraging messages for you, lol. Look if you are interested in a girl, just man up, Man. If she rejects you, say Jk Jk laugh and cover your face walking off. But you know what?!? You did it! You should be proud. You can’t win if you don’t compete.2

Whatever she's doing, go up to her and tell her she's doing it wrong and show her how it's done properly. Women *love* that 😁2

I would not like that. If hes not coming with compliments he can shove it.2 -
Generally, I would agree with most and say don’t. However, I think in some circumstances it’s ok. Try to do a really good job of reading her body language. Like aforementioned, if she has headphones on eyes closed and seems like she’s in another world, probably not a good idea. If she’s catching your eyes, smiling back then there’s potential there. Start by using a simple greeting and gauge her response. Don’t I repeat do not do anything crazy to to catch her attention! I have a hilarious story about this one time at the gym, but that’s for another day.0

No better!!! I’m the only person on a treadmill. There are about 30 other empty ones. This very attractive man in a hot pink shirt is meandering around. He keeps looking at me. I assume he’s like “oh look at that fat kitten on the treadmill”. He ends up on the treadmill right next to me. Then starts doing some strange maneuvers. At first I though this was some odd sideways jogging that I was unaware off. Then the arms were flailing. Then, he was making noises at me. It took all of my might not to look over direct at him. Then he did some 360 turn on the treadmill trying to be slick, one too many ok go music videos I think, winked at me. Then totally lost his balance, fell, flew off the treadmill which depantsed him. I couldn’t help but burst out in laughter. He took off running. Too bad, after that while shenanigan I would have probably gave him my number. 😂😂1 -
