Nowadays, gym is no longer a cold dark place where the bodybuilders pumping irons. Some have treated it as another place to socialize. So, here is post to focus in one popular topic – How To Pick Up Girls at Gym?
First thing first, before you talk to a girl at gym, you must assess the situation. Analyzing and plan are crucial. By doing so, you know how to introduce and sell yourself before you execute your mission plan to date her.
Here are 5 things to look for and access before you approach your potential target:
- Check if she has a ring on her wedding finger. If she has, sorry, next one. If you still want to go for a married woman, by all mean, go ahead, but make sure you have what it takes.
- Do you have eye contact with her occasionally? If she is wearing earphones listening to songs, she does not want to be bothered. If her eyes focus on the floor, the mirror or whatever except you, the message is clear – nope, she is not interested in you. If she looks at you for once, the chance is 50-50. But, if she looks at you more than once, wait no more.
- What kind of personality does she show when she is talking to others, especially with other man at the gym? Is she shy, talkative, flirtatious, or confident?
- Notice what reading material she reads. If she is reading a novel by Stephen King or a Wall Street Journal?
- Is she a beginner, average or an intermediate member?
Before you approach any girl, make sure you have the 5 Don’t:
- Don’t stare like a wolf. If you stare, you will make her feel uncomfortable and annoyed. I know, sometimes, you stare so long just to make a woman eventually stare back. Rule of thumb, if she want to look at you, she will.
- Don’t forget your towel. Before you talk to her, remember to wipe your sweat with your towel. No women like sweat from stranger. For them, sweat is gross and smelly. You don’t have to show how hard you have trained with your sweat.
- Don’t interrupt during a set. Don’t talk to her when she is working out. Ruining her workout will make her irritated. Wait for her to rest between sets before you approach her.
- Don’t grunt. Some guys like to grunt or moan when lifting heavy weight. Don’t do this trying to get her attention. Doing this will just get you a weird look, rather than an admiration look from her. Don’t spread your both arms wide unnecessarily showing how “huge” or muscular you are. Don’t try to impress her with the so called Imaginary Lat Syndrome.
- Don’t give advice unless it is needed. Women appreciates advice, but only when it comes in a right time. If you do it in the flirtatious manner, it can be uncomfortable. If you give her an impression that you are an expert, she definitely will not mind to listen.
So after learning the 5 cues and 5 Don’t, let me share a case study with you on how this can be done.
Case Study
A babe is struggling to use a machine. She probably looks at the instruction stuck there trying to figure out how to adjust the seat. Now, you can walk up and offer your gentleman’s help. Remember to smile but make sure you have brushed your teeth that morning. Kneel down and say, “This seat always stuck all the time. Let me try to help you.”
She will probably look at you now. After adjusting the seat and show her how to work out using that machine. No worry, even if you yourself also don’t know how to use that machine, just show her. Who cares at that critical point of time? She probably doesn’t have a clue how the heck the machine works.
Now, if everything goes fine, spend half an hour with her. Ask her questions and listen. A man who listens is always a better choice. After shower, you can offer to buy her a drink or meal.
Disclaimer: I personally have not tried the above methods. Again, use them at your own risk. Need more tips, check out some of the “unusual” pick up lines you may want to use at gym – Top 10 Pick Up Lines For Girls or Guys At Gym.
Have fun and all the best.

About checking the ring, most of the time, there are different meaning for wearing ring at different finger, so just beware for girls that wearing a wedding ring.

Gotta agree with you on not interrupting girls mid-set. This would really annoy me if the tables were turned and I was interrupted mid-set.

If her eyes focus on the floor, the mirror or whatever except you, the message is clear – nope, she is not interested in you.. <– I find this so true and so hilarious! Good post!

I think the best time to talk to a girl is when they are outside the gym (meaning as they are about to make their way there or back to their cars) or if they are waiting at the lounge area. Besides, that – I think any conversation in the gym area would be a disruption. Nowadays, the girls have iPods … how to talk to someone wearing earphones?!

I second the eye contact part. If they are looking at anything but you, then they are not interested. And please don’t stare, that gives us this weird creepy feeling that sometimes can ruin part of our workout.
As for the earphones, maybe they don’t want conversation. That is the reason why they are wearing earphones.

What a great article, I love the science of picking up girls, and those at the gym are usually prettier than those in the pub. One tip, never break eye contact once you have it. If it lasts for more than 3 seconds, go up to her and say “Hi”.

well lets say, you both keep looking at each other but not directly at each other every now and then. And when you try not to stare, they continue looking at you every now and then. and she’s also wearing head phone. but it seems as if a lot of the times where ever I workout, she works out and vice versa. And we go to the gym usually around the same time.
my question would be, how do I know if she’s interested or has a boyfriend? She does not wear a ring. I’ve seen her plenty of times at the gym, but I just dont know how to introduce myself. She knows how to workout. So she’s not one of those girls that doesnt know how. So what’s the best way to introduce myself??
any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!!!
thanks!

znamikeanz…. I’m in the exact same boat as you…
It’s hard to know if they’re looking at you, because you can’t just stare at them…. She’s always got her earphones in too….. I’m probably going to try and approach my gym girl as she’s walking to her car (seen as though no one ever hangs out at the sofa area at my gym).
This is annoying though, and quite frankly makes me look like a weirdo if I’m just stood around waiting outside for her to come out.
Not to mention, if it all goes horribly wrong… I’m going to have to change the times I go to the gym.
Did you ever approach your gym girl znamikeanz? If so, how did you do it? And what did you say?
Please advise,
Kind Regards,
Michael
