Has anyone had success meeting girls at the gym?

[Evzone]

The reason I ask this is that I go to the gym often, but I've always gone just with my workout in mind. I've heard from people that the gym is a good way to meet girls, but frankly...how? It just seems a bit awkward when I'm in the weight room to go walk up to people.

Sup? Nice weights? Nice squat form?

From my experience there are generally very few girls in the gym and the few girls who are there either wear headphones or is there with their boyfriend. At least the three gyms I've trained in have been like this. Girls seem to enjoy aerobics or the more fitness **** gyms.

So in conclusion meeting girls in the gym is pretty bad because there are few girls there, there are a lot of competitions (especially since lifting releases so many hormones) and it ruins your training to waste time on women.

I've noticed that most people at my gym wear headphones. Annoying as sh!t when I try to talk to someone and they don't hear me at all.

My gym DOES have the WORST music on, though...

haha I was just thinking that about my gym today. I went in there and they were playing slow R&B.

Normally, I take my Ipod, but when I got to the gym, I realized I hadn't charged it.

As for the original topic, I treat the gym like I treat work...I don't dip my pen in the company ink. I go there for the sole purpose of working out and while I do see a lot of hot girls, I don't approach. I usually try to keep that for when I'm at clubs or just sarging.

A few years back I got a phone number and a day 2 from a chick I picked up at my school gym. Nothing really came of it.

I go to a rock climbing gym. No one wears headphones because they get in the way.

Good. You should be(and are) there for you and your goals alone. That doesn't mean you cannot meet some people there too right?

I've heard from people that the gym is a good way to meet girls, but frankly...how?

It is. Hearts are pumping, bodies are moving, the mind is relaxed and you get a pretty good preview of what everyone looks like naked. If keeping fit and active are important parts of your lifestyle what place could be better to find women with similar interests?

It just seems a bit awkward when I'm in the weight room to go walk up to people.

Isn't this always the case? You are not the first person to deal with approach anxiety, but the rules are the same for the grocery store, class, gym, smoothie shop, etc. Try an opener that has something to do with the exercises she's doing. Nothing about form, but if shes running ask if shes training for a marathon. If she flexes comment on her guns. It is so easy to be fun here, and you will put yourself miles ahead of the other guys by just having the balls to approach her.

Just recently I've been approaching and talking to ladies at the gym and I have yet to be denied a number. Most of the meat heads in there may be able to bench me, but they will never have the balls that I do.

Go to it.

Good points everyone. One problem that I've noticed that I've had and that I'm working on is that I need to take myself less seriously and just have fun with it more.

I go to a decent spot, but off hours like wayyy early. It's a huge gym and at the right time I bet there are a lot more looks than when I'm there. Out of the 3 hottest I have seen, 2 work the front desk are near perfect. I am considering asking one of them out, but there are literally hundreds of guys that go there. I imagine the staff gets macked on a lot.

Regarding approaching, I wouldn't care less - even if they had their iPod on blast. I have had girls say hi to me and I hardly acknowledge because I am usually burning up, got the iPod on max volume myself, and applying a lot of anger and aggression to lift more weight and work out as hard as I can.

And there are a lot of girls that I want to verbally slam: 'ummmm, what are you doing? maybe you should consider this or that or get a trainer.' as much as I see some, you'd think they would have a cherry a$$ by now...

When do all the dancers go? I imagine late morning through early afternoon... I should join one of the top clubs in the city where it would be ridiculous trying to concentrate.

Yeah why not?

I mean don't go to the gym just to sarge lol. If you see a pretty girl that you want to talk to, talk to her. If she has headphones on, tap her. She'll take them off. I promise.
