    It depends. Many women are rather inapproachable at the gym and make it obvious they don't want to be bothered. All my friends tell me since I work at a gym that I shouldn't have any trouble meeting fit girls, but I do because of the above reason. So, trying to date a girl from a gym, or even initiate a conversation with one, is quite a rare opportunity. It's too bad because I love fit women.

    You find fit women who work out at other gyms.

    So i think this guy hit on me the other day at the gym but im really shy and i didnt really know what to say. Do you have any suggestions on what i could say if i see him again? Something from a guys perspective maybe.

    From a guy's perspective...

    That wasn't a one time conversation. But, if you need help thinking of something to say, might I suggest that since you're in a gym, you talk about working out?

    If this guy lifts weight, have him help you with it.

    ..i like to talk, so if someone starts talking to me while im on the treadmill or somethin that's fine.
    But, when im lifting i try to concentrate on that so i dont get hurt.. But, I've carried a conversations lifting dumbells before..

    I guess I'm weird.

    When I'm just lifting, I wear earbuds and a leave me the **** alone face. Now that I'm doing crossfit, there's more of a class mentality and before and after I chat with boys... Some flirting but no real hitting on. Unfortunately...

    I haven't been hit on at the gym...yet...I have noticed guys looking at me lately. I see that as a total bonus to going to the gym. Before I started losing weight etc, guys never noticed me. It feels good to be noticed. I suppose I may seem inapproachable but it's more because I honestly don't really know how to be approachable to guys.

    anywhere is a possibility. Bring your smile and your best attitude everywhere you go -- you will attract positivity and probably some guys too :)

    I don't get hit on at the gym. Probably because I'm a sweaty mess. What can I say, I get my *kitten* done!

    It can be, but don't count on it. I met my signifcant other through the gym I used to work at, but it's not exactly the greatest place. The gym is a place to work out and improve yourself...I personally hate getting hit on at the gym. It happened tonight in the middle of my abs circuit. A personal trainer decided that was a good time to introduce himself to me and tell me how amazing I look and he admires my commitment....he kept staring at my boobs. Horrible. Be you, be happy, and in time the right person will come around. Have a little faith

    I am there to workout and train, so I never flirt or converse at the gym. :angry:

    Same.

    I might flirt with a gym employee. But not actual gym go-fers.

    Compliments always work.

    Not for me. The gym is all about putting in work. Save the flirting for happy hour.

    I am pretty dense when it comes to the opposite sex but to my knowledge I have never been hit on at the gym. I don't either.

    I'm aways happy to have a brief chat with anyone I the gym, but I have to say when I see the really obvious c*ck trawlers I think it's really hilarious. The gym isn't a nightclub.

    I'd say if you are looking to pick up the front desk people or sales team then maybe.. other wise, no.

    The one thing I hate the most is when I'm working out, and I have people staring at me or tying to converse with me... Clearly, I am not interested and want you to go away... so please do!

    If I was "looking" - I'd def consider dating guys from the gym. But only if they used good form and lifted heavy weights. None of that cardio bunny crap thankyaverymuch. hah
