This one has been killing me. There are some cute girls at the gym that I'd like to close, but I never know what to say or open in this environment. Any suggestions?

Also, what do you about girls with headphones on? It just seems like it's a task in itself to go up to someone who is listening to music.

Id go for sinns herd opener. Or id go for - wow - you the hardest working girl ive seen in the last 2 minutes!

What's sinns herd opener?

Haha that's pretty funny.

Sinn's herd opener is where he calls the girl a 'herd', which he explains is a 'hot nerd'.

I think the herd opener might be a bit try-hard. Last time I was in the gym there was an 8 about to do some sit ups or something on the mat. I don't even remember what I opened with, which to me means I opened well, because it was natural. In gym I usually use situational openers:

"You need to work more on your biceps. Build those guns."

"Man, you're making me out of breath with all that running."

"You're haven't even broken a sweat. Come on!!"

The opener really doesn't matter. Just for the sake of interest, this particular girl was giving me like maximum proxy alert. She'd go on the machines next to me, and at the end when she was gonna go she just waited by the door staring at me. (After I had talked to her a bit then freezed her out). I wanted her to come and talk to me so I let her stare and didn't even look at her. But she left. I swear girls rarely ever approach, they just make themselves available if they like you.

This for me is a tough nut to crack as well. There is a chick at my gym that I've gotten eye contact with a few times, but both of us are in the middle of kicking the shit out of ourselves and concentrating on that.

Its been a couple times so next time it happens I'm just gonna say something, anyting like "I've seen you around here and its about time I said hi."

I know its not a war winner, but a lot of women do not want to be bugged at the gym.

As I said I think its a tough nut to crack

Anyone else have any ideas?

This is a really tricky situation.
Sometimes those HBs have some gladiator boy friends with them. The HBs typically stick to the cardio machines. Where as the roided out AMOGs stay in the free weights section. I can remember a few times I considered approaching a HB at the gym but then decided not to. These turned out to be wise decisions when their gladiator boyfriends stopped by to round them up after their workout.

Id say if you wana have the best chance of getting a girl at the gym. You go one a Friday or Saturday night, and pick up the ones with nothing better to do than be at the gym. But be prepared for slim pickings.

ive talked to a few girls at the gym, but when im at the gym im not really there to pick up girls. the 2 that stick out in my mind opened me about yoga or just small talk.

but with MP3 players most women wont even hear you.

there are some hotties that WORK at my gym tho lol

i work at a gym as a trainer and get approached and can approach while working easily. when im working out at my other gym. ill smile and ask whats on their "workout playlist" or joke about how i have fergie on mine.(i dont really by the way.)

girls also find it funny when a guy(already in good shape) will ask them if she can show me the machine or exercise. they get into their trainer mood which they love.

i also a big fan of odd exercises that look hard and girls and guys will usaully ask about between sets.

on the cardio machines if i end up next to a hb ill ask them about whats on tv. cnn is a easy channel to talk about.

just dont get too much into trying to train them.

^Guys, whilst some of the ideas here are good, I think you're over analysing everything. All you have to do, as I do in the gym, is just GO UP AND TALK TO HER. If she's right in the middle of a heated work out, wait for her to finish as any AFC would (unless you want to go for a really bold/funny approach), and just TALK TO HER. That's all you have to do.

No clever gimmicks or lines or opinion openers. Just go up to her and talk to her. You can start with a situational opener, it doesn't matter, the first thing that comes to your head like "nice work out, you need to try harder though, I'd beat you with my eyes shut."

In my experience gyms are easy places to sarge, because you can show off your body, and there are great gaps between machines and work outs where the girl is resting and doing nothing. It also gives you a good excuse to #close because you can't get to know her well at a gym.

"wana race?" to a girl on the treadmill

"5 pounds.... really?" to a girl pressing itty bitty dumbells

"id hate to see what you wear to a (ball or somthing i forgot)" to a girl in a sports bra and boy shorts (hooooooot) and nothing else

"show off anymore and arnie over there is going to kill himself" to a girl who was on a stairmaster (arnie was some skinny guy who was obviously trying to impress her when she looked ie, using dumbells way to heavy)

"this music is getting me mad pumped" christmas music was playing...

None of these are perfect or reheresd, just stuff that has come out of my mouth when i see hotties at the gym.

Yeah thats how i usually close girls at the gym. You know how most of the time, they play such whacky songs at the gym. I just usually come up to girls and just be like "Wow! is this song suppose to hype you up or make you wanna kill yourself." and they usually bite after that. Then just be like "So what are you working out today" and if you really know your shit on fitness, show her a new routine that seldom guys ever do.

But yeahh most of the time, It's so hard to open girls at the gym. There's nothing to say... Hey let me know how you do if you try my opener.

I had a recent 2 set open at the gym. To girls a 8 and 9 were on the mats just stretching and talking. I am in the gym shooting baskets and my ball rolls past them and conversation starts off like this.

Me: ( wave my hands up) and I say you couldnt get that for me
HB9: We are exercising
Me: Well from what I am seeing you two are just exercising your mouths(because they were just talking when my ball passed)
HB8: Hey Hey thats not nice
and I just went from there. All natural there which I was surprised how fast I came up with that. Alot of openers can just come from surroundings or whats presented at the time.

Alot of time you do see girls either trying to do pull-ups which they cant or you see them doing sit-ups with a ball and no partners. Most of of them time I just go up to them and stand there smiling and say something along the lines as looks like your struggling, you sure you know what your doing because I am sure barbies go tanning out at that pool. Throw in a neg or compliance depends.

chuckles....

if you work out alone, ask them to spot you on the bench press...
the babe doing little tiny dumbells... they love it... and most are way too polite to say no

this happened yesterday... a 7 or 8....

... hey, can i get a quick spot?
'ohhh i don't know if i'm strong enough...' eying the loaded bar...
here... do like this... (flex a bicep)....
giggles... flexes...
feels her muscle.... 'mmmm you'll do'
laughs... ok...

don't try this if you're only doing one or two reps.... they won't be strong enough to pull real weight off you... i really did need a spot btw on a couple sets of 8 to 10 reps, and wasn't opening her.... but she was cute and we ended up chatting after....
