So I know we always here all the horror stories of gym stalkers and creepers. But there's gotta be a flip side, right? Who out there has a happy gym flirting story? Anyone meet a bf/gf or spouse at the gym?

Come on guys, let's here the stories!

Plus, I'm back at work after my awesome break so I need some entertainment! :laugh:

    Since I got to the gym so often, I have got to know most of the people there. So while no romance has occurred, I have made some very good friends.

    I have one, the other way around. My husband (before we were married) introduced me to the gym. :laugh:

    I've heard that the sauna is pretty steamy too! LOL
    My friend's been hit on more than he cared for and stopped going to the men's locker room altogether.

    Honestly you couldn't pay me to join a gym. When I work out it's serious business, my kids will wake me up for absolute nonsense but they WILL NOT even come into the room if I am working out. If someone came at me with B.S. I'd flip. I work out at home where I can get it done, work hard and don't have to wait for equipment.

    I gym I go to is small, it does not have a sauna, or pool. And the shower is only big enough for one person at a time.

    Well hubby and I go to the gym together so the only flirting and romance is between us two!!! I know we're boring but after 3 years of being together (2 years married) and 2 kids later we are still in love. He can still cause butterflies in my stomach when I see him. !!! We have the greatest marriage......Sorry I had to brag.

    I've worked at a gym for the past 3.5 years and unfortunately, this does not surprise me!

    I pretty much stopped swimming when a creepy old dude was congratulating me on my weightloss and then put his hand on my bare stomach. And lingered!

    This has always baffled me. For one, women seem to be a little more uptight at the gym because they're not all dolled or aren't wearing makeup or very little makeup. Two, its a gym, people are there to work out. I don't see too much socializing. It's hard to talk to people when running or hitting the weights. With that being said, I've had a few women flirt with me but nothing to write home to Mom about.

    I used to go to a local martial arts (kickboxing & krav maga) school. I met a really sweet, amazing guy there out of the blue... he was very shy and it took us a while to go from friends to dating...

    and we just got married in September :):)

    When I go to the gym, my hair is messed up, I'm all sweaty, and I'm usually breathing very heavily. If you want to hit on someone who looks like that, well, good luck! Ha!

    Gym flirting gone horribly WONDERFUL!! =] I met my bf at a support group meeting (for WLS), and we started talking and going to the gym together! We quickly became HUGE motivators for each other and dropped some serious weight... I've lost 99lbs, he's lost 178lbs! (Still trying to catch up to him, lol)... But to make a long story short, we're still going to the gym together, still continue to motivate each other, and couldn't be happier! It makes going to the gym exciting and fun... Although there are some horror stories here, lol, sometimes things do work out! =] <3

    Years ago I had spent A LOT of time at the gym - ended up dating one of the trainers for about a year. So it does happen. (Needless to say, I was in the best shape of my life back then!)

    I don't hit on ANYONE at the gym and I definitely don't want to be hit on while I am running on a treadmill sweating like crazy, no makeup, smelly, hair in ponytail, etc... I go to the gym to work out and focus and I would be annoyed if someone interfered with "my time"
    Thats just me though :)

    I stopped going to the shower area at my gym several years ago because I could hear dudes banging in there. Worse... I walked by the shower area on my way to the bathroom and saw two dudes making out.

    Oh yeah... when I used to take showers there, people kept knocking on the door. I kept having to yell "OCCUPIED, DAMN IT!"

    WHAT kind of gym do you go to?! Sounds more like a porn set...


    I would avoid them as well..
    It was Bally's in Rockville, Maryland. Nowadays, I try to avoid locker rooms altogether and work out at home when I can.


    OMG! I've heard about the Rockville, MD Ballys!!! My ex roomie (who happened to be a gay male) moved from down there and he used to tell me about that Ballys. He said he wouldn't shower there for the same reason!! Actually Bally's are infamous for this apparently, b/c he said the ones in Philadelphia are the same way! He came home one day and said "what's the name of the gym you go to again, b/c I can't even shower at mine without getting hit on!" Needless to say, he joined Planet fitness with me the very next day!

    We didn't MEET at the gym, but my hubby and I used to go and workout at the same gym... We were friends then... and then dating... and then eventually tied the knot LOL.... But, we didn't MEET there.... There was plenty of flirting... And everytime he would be working out behind me, he would say, "Motivation, Motivation, Motivation"!! LOL.... :laugh:

    I am really IN THE ZONE at the gym, no time for 'flirting' although, I really enjoy the art of flirting .... I'm totally hard core when I'm there....

    Where I exercise, such types are just not allowed.
    It's a PRIVATE CLUB for family men ONLY.

    It's not so much a gay thing but that whole culture of such open sex. That's disgusting with gays, straights, dogs, cats and all forms of insects.

    I have no desire to see or hear anybody else having sex outside a porn movie.

    Glad you clarified the original statement. "Such types are just not allowed" just about got my rant on, but since it's "not so much" just hating on the gays, I'll let you be. Carry on, good sir.

    I don't know anyone, regardless of their sexual preference, that would find locker room sex appropriate, except maybe that guy I dated back in high school when we were 15. Grown adults banging at the gym reeks of desperation.

    There's a chain of gyms here that are REALLY well known for this. The mens showers are a hot spot apparently.

    If that's the case they should just drop the "y" from their name.
