Should I approach women at the gym?

[Anonymous]

I'm a regular at the gym and everytime I go I see some pyt always working out. I want to talk to them but a lot of time a lot of other men are staring at them which I know makes them probably feel uncomfortable. So I put myself in their shoes and just leave them be. Is it better that I don't try to talk to women, approach women at the gym? I know most likely they just want a good workout and don't want to be bothered. If I do approach them how should you, what should I say?

being a girl that goes to the gym a lot and gets approached by a lot of guys its really annoying. but in the gym, girls usually wear leggings, tight pants, are being googly eyed by all these men, just want to be alone and work out in peace. dont be one of those guys. if you REALLY want to approach a girl youve been eyeing for a while and would love to get to know her, try approaching her outside (like outside the gym setting) or if there's a juice bar/smoothie thing in there and she sits down, go get a smoothie and small talk, and after that say hi to her on a daily. but really dont just go up and be like "hey.. so.. work out here often?" while she's doing some squats, or leg raises. just dont

I know that with a 24/7 Gym at my Disposal in my own Building Here, Dear... I don't like to be Bothered. I even Close the Door to More.
Let the girls Work Out in Peace, and if you do See Someone, hun, who may be Worth Working on, Talk to her Some afterwards.
She will either Give you a Sign that she is Not into you at this Time, or Let you Know in her own "Weigh-t" that She is Interested.
Good luck. xx

If anything just be a friendly non gawking face. a hello when you pass them or something like that. After a while of just being nice and deemed un threatening and non creepy, you can move into casual conversationn & progress from there. but always take the girls cues if you feel she just wants to be left aone, and respect that.

You can try it, but some girls don't want to be approached. It's really just luck of the draw. I wouldn't mind being approached but some women want to just focus on their workout and not be bothered.

Ok, I have been working out in gyms for over 20 years. 90% of women are there to work out, and not be bothered. Just be polite and smile and say "hi" when you pass them. If they are open to talking, they will respond accordingly. Never approach when they are actually in the middle of a set, lift or using equipment. Many people are counting reps or concentrating on what they are doing and don't want to be bothered. Nothing wrong with being friendly and having some small talk, but you need to wait until they are taking a break/resting or getting a drink.

she is there to work out , imagine you are in the middle of an intense workout & someone want to talk with , you will annoyed, approach her outside the gym & be like : oh , hi , you work out at the **** gym or something like that , lovely to meet you , & you might start something 👍

NEVER approach women in a gym... as a former gym regular , plus also gym staff , the gym is the worst possible place... women HATE men even glancing at them there , let alone approaching... gyms are for workouts , maybe steam & sauna too only , I have witnessed several VERY angry.." F... Off !! " type rejections @ gyms !!

Many girls don't like being approached at the gym, they are there to work out. If you do want to approach a girl wait until her work out is done or maybe if she's taking a break.

You're at a gym, use something about gyms to start a coversation. There are so many options. You don't need to sound like you wanna approach...

nope never. they go to work out last thing they need when they're mid workout sweaty and no make up is some guy talking to them/flirting, if you have to make sure it's after they've finished and had a shower etc
