Hey all, this has been bothering me for awhile so I wanted to throw it out there and see what people think.

I go to the gym and work out about 6 days a week at my local Gold's. Basically, there are a shitload of really hot women who go there and even though I consider myself pretty good at the game, I just can't figure out how to approach these women. I think that I just have a really bad limiting belief that because I personally don't like to talk much, if at all at the gym, that the women around me have no interest either. It also doesn't help that Gold's is consistently filled with several juiced up body builders and the last thing I want to do is get raged out on because I was hitting on one of their girls.

The only success I've had is via my social circle. I know a couple women who go there and 1 who works there, all 9's or 10's, but I guess I just have major approach anxiety for those who I don't know. Any tips, routines, or openers are much appreciated. My game is solid once I get going, but breaking the ice and shedding my limiting beliefs is what I need to get there.

Also, don't post if you have written diarrhea like: "Hurr, man just focus and stuff in the gym, don't run game." That's crap, don't post it. Anything else is welcome

Since you go there so much. I'd work on a long term approach. Start being funny while you're there. Shit like pointing at someone as you walk by them working out and half-jokingly say "keep up the good work" can be pretty funny when you pull it off the right way (by not looking for any approval) or if you walk past a girl drenched in sweat, playfully say "jeez, someone really knows how to work out". If a girl takes a long time at the water fountain "you leave any water for me?".

Then after getting a few laughs, next time you see them consider striking up a convo.

Good advice. I don't think the sweaty one would work for me since I'm pretty much always the sweatiest person in there. I suppose I could work with that though.

I have had this problem for a while. Lots of hot women but didn't how to approach them. Saw them checking me out and stuff but still blank. Something that really helped is to talk to the people who work there and build some social proof or talk to the guys who you see constantly at the gym. Ask them to spot you. Social proof works wonder in situations like these.

Where do you go from there though? I go there often, I can even strike up a conversation with a few of the trainers. Also, there is my friend who works there, she's an easy HB9. How do you suggest building that social proof and how would I make that useful when approaching women at the gym who may not go as much, if at all?

SNAP I go to the gym 6 days a week too.... not in the US though, but the same simple principle applies, as game making is essentially making the female feel comfortable around you, for you, and she is inevitability going to trust you, there are a few things you can do.

You go to the gym so much right? So CLEARLY you have some sort of experience in working out, muscular techniques and maneuvers, girls love a man who takes control, and knows exactly what the fuck he is doing, if you demonstrate a move/action/exercise or even propose or IMPOSE (without her even consenting) or just some simple advice or ask if they need help, instantly the female should feel comfortable.

The reason for this is because, IF what you feed them is legitimate fact then the trust is instantly lain upon you, build report with these women as if you were a personal trainer yourself.

I generally became a PT in order to do this in the gym, I've received countless numbers from females within the gym, and slept with countless women simply from these small encounters, lets be serious....the likelihood is that you will see the person again right? so what have you got to lose!? Whether you're the sweaty one/fat one/ugly one............ you make that woman feel fantastic, and then you will undoubtedly see results.

Cruise.

Have you tried going to any group exercises classes they have at the gym? If you go regularly, just saying hi how are you? to the girl near you might lead to a conversation next time you two see each other.

Hurrr man just focus on a stuff and in the gym Haha just kidding

At the gym there isn't any good way to open. People will be watching you so you just have to deal with that. I've always done indirect in situations where I might see them again. At the gym I've said before "I nearly wore that same outfit. Good thing I didn't or else we'd be matching."

It's extremely stupid and since it is indirect but if she's interested she'll reciprocate.

I've had a few good gym approaches. In my opinion I don't think direct approaches are good. Telling a girl she's cute when she has her hair up and no make up on because 95% of girls at the gym ride the treadmill for half an hour. So I go with an indirect approach. Here are my instances:
1. Noticed this girl was muscular for a female. We were both by the water fountain I jokingly asked her how much she bench pressed and got in a good conversation about her lifting for a show which is why she has that body type. That led to talking about diet and other stuff. She's very cool but I found out she has a bf.

2. Two girls sitting on the mat stretching. I was on my way to yoga. FTC, real quick opinion before I have to go to yoga. They both had me 5 minutes late for class because the conversation went so well. Ran the best friend test and they ate that up. Unfortunately both of them had boyfriends.

3. I noticed a girl doing a lot of deadlifts, squats, and other power lifting moves. When she was sitting down on the row machine I said "You know what's cool about you?" she made great eye contact and smiled and I said "95% of the girls here do the treadmill and you're over here doing badass exercises" which led to her talking about a show or some competition she is doing. We had a great conversation. What I did with this one was talk to her in between her set. I figured if she wasn't interested in talking to me she would have displayed it and told me she had to get back to her workout. Gonna run the boyfriend test on her next time I see her.

I've done the second example twice. Girls who go to the gym in couples are normally very close friends and love the best friend test. Giggle so much.
