I read somewhere (couple places actually) that it wasnt a good idea to approach women at the gym and they actually dont like it. When women are at the gym they are sweating and feel ugly and are usually not receptive to your approach. It said some more about hormones and what not if I find the link I'll put it up. But if you really like her then I guess its worth the try. |

The place where I have opened most successfully is in my university's gym. I try to make it very natural, not like canned openers. For example this morning a girl finished a machine-exercise next to me and was breathing hard, so I just said "That exercise is tough, isn't it?". I started fluff-talking with her and then interrupted abruptly like "Sorry, I have to get back to my exercise". It worked great! She started smiling at me every time at looked around her and then we talked again, she gave me lots of IOI's. My favorite was "I live alone, and I'm usually very bored by myself on my apartment". Another one was talking with an instructor and I heard the word "hypoglycemia". I just went straight and asked her: "Hypoglycemia is low sugar in your blood, right? My grandfather suffered from that". Not great but gets the work done. I think at the gym is more important attitude and body language that what you actually say. I started going the gym like 2 weeks ago and now I've earned the respect of those Hulk guys just by being friendly. And I'm skinny, a 10 pounds dumbbell is to heavy for me. Make people notice you are the worthiest guy around when those muscle guys try to impress you lifting 150 pounds and you just smile and say "Man, you are tough!" with a smile. Also I think that the fact that girls feel ugly is good for your game. They naturally feel like they have to show a great personally, specially after you open them and then act as if you were losing interest on them. Just my point of view. |

The gym is definitely not a good place to try and pick up, women are approached there too often and it does annoy them, shit even I would be annoyed if a girl interrupted me when I was working out unless it was Paris Hilton she would already be on the back foot with me. Then add to that most girls and guys have ipods now so they will have that going anyway and there is nothing more annoying then someone interrupting your song to try and pick you up I would imagine. Your best bet is don't try and pick them up be genuine say hello, ask how they are doing and then walk away if they come close to you again accuse them of following you playfully and leave it at that next time you are at the gym and you see her tell her this is crazy am I gonna have to take a restraining order out on you? Don't push it just play eventually you will create a bond and she will want to talk to you and you can take it from there, anything else will instantly been seen through as a pick up attempt and will be shut down very quickly. This is my opionion anyway. |

I agree with Breaker to some extent, but I don't try to pick up girls in the gym because I don't really go there to socialise. Personally I would find it awkward pissing a girl off while shes working out and then have to see her every time i'm in the gym, it's not like a bar where you're unlikely to see the girl again. But thats just my view. Jmac |

I think there are 2 situatios: 1. cold opening - no no in my opinion 2. opening when a girl is looking at you, giving some IOI etc - its a yes |

I go to the gym exclusively to workout and most girls are as well....As mentioned before Im not there to socialize however if the opportunity presents itself w/ a really HB and im in the mood Ill give it a shot. Ive had moderate success. I usually use some kind of observational if I do (i.e she's drops a dumbell or something, I tease her about and have a quick convo then go back to my workout...But if things go well Ill start getting IOI's and Ill approach again w/ something observational) Ive # closed only a few times only cuz I want it to be as natural as possible. I normally try to keep it open for the next workout day i see her..... Also, as far as the 'girls feel nasty when the workout' thing....I've asked a few female friends and they mostly say no....Its the opposite. They feel sexy....cuz they're there to improve their body and someone approaching gives them some positive feedback and inspiration to come back. Timing is essential tho....make sure you dont approach in the middle of a workout and go out of your way or hers to open....Its tricky but tahst my take on oit |
