The last time a man spoke to me at the gym it was a young man with Downe Syndrome who was on the stationary bike next to me. He said "Hello Lady" looked me up and down and then turned to his carer and said loudly "She's not going fast enough" he was right, I was cruising.

What kind of nonsense reply is this?
Why wouldn't you approach someone you found attractive? As for the approach, not to be superficial but if you're higher on the well put together scale you're more likely get a better response. Putting that to one side, if you catch her gazing at you here and there she's interested. Simply pretend you're going over to use a machine where she's at then open conversation from there. Something along the lines of "I haven't seen you here before?" or "that weight is way too easy for you". If she's interested it'll roll from there. Whenever I say that it's actually genuine so at the same time just relax and feel what suits the moment. The same method works if there's just a hot girl you wanna pursue. Go over and use a machine or workout next to her then find an opening.
Good luck!
I think Don’t is a very good response. I know for myself anyway that I absolutely cannot stand when men try to hit on me while I’m at the gym. I’m there to focus on my work out and I don’t appreciate being bothered. Also all the pick up lines that you gave him would make me roll my eyes so far into the back of my head that I would see my brain.0 -
A woman doesn't want you to approach her at the gym if she doesn't like you, because she's focused on her workout.
If she has a crush on you, she would love to have you approach her at the gym, because her workout can wait.

Just spank that *kitten* and give me 5 more always works NOT!! Lol.
Compliments and polite advise on form posture etc usually makes a good convo especially if your in good condition yourself she will show some interest in wanting talk more.0 -

After my workout, if at all. Basic gym etiquette still applies. If someone approaches me midworkout, 1. It had better be between sets and, 2. Be relevant to working out (How many sets to you have left?).
Basically smile and acknowledge. Then wait for a response. If no response, don't get pushy, just accept and move on.2 -

Exactly! She will not show interest in talking more because you think you are in good shape. She will get annoyed because you seem like a know it all acting like a woman doesn’t know her way around the gym & she needs some dude to help her. Reading this post really explains a lot and why men act the way they do and think that these lame attempts will actually work LOL1 -

You can be friendly (maybe smile or say "hi"), but don't be a creeper...1

Keep that for other places lol. Girls go there to concentrate on their goals,not to get distracted by guys!
BUT,since this statement doesn't apply to all..
The first step would be to workout somewhere close to her,read her personality by the way she carries herself. If she seems all sweet, then ask her if she is new to the gym and needs help around. Don't be too insistent. Smile kindly at her.
A guy started correcting me on an exercise that I used to do wrong. You could try that too,but i was a bit bothered more than attracted at the time haha.
If she is the alpha,tougher kind of woman..you can still approach her,but you might have to take the longer road.
Good luck!1 -

This is so true! The gym is my me time & that would certainly ruin it.1 -

So because you don't like to be approached (which I doubt unless you're in a relationship otherwise how are you dating anyone) he shouldn't try to approach women? Lol. While you might dislike being spoken to at the gym, for other girls who are single, they enjoy it if they're interested.
If the boy has game or not that's on him but to the guys who do, the gym or anywhere for that matter is a place to socialize with females.1 -

Precisely. So advice is one thing but if she's not into you then she's not into you. If she is then fire away.0
