Gaming at the gym

If you meet someone at the gym and you click, great! But please don’t go to the gym to with intent to pick up dates. Most of us are there to workout and improve ourselves or blow off steam from work.

Women are there to work out. Now if you look like a Greek God all bets are off and the rules don't apply to you, but for the most part women want to be left alone so they can get thin and pretty. Hit on them at the club.

Gaming at the gym is a lot like gaming off of Tinder. It shouldn't be your primary source of women (unless you're very physically attractive). Gaming at the gym is a long but fun investment. Like people said, people come here to work out. That being said, build a social circle and start friendzoning girls in the sense you're still gaming them but you're not chasing after them. You're at the gym to work out anyways; just make friends along the way. Slowly but surely you'll get a lot of social proof and you'll be able to meet even more girls; only difference now is that you're top dog, considering how social proof is so visible in a closed off place like the gym. You can eventually start inviting them out for drinks or places outside of the gym and go from there.

For the most part, gaming at the gym is a big no-no due to risk.

If you make it blatantly obvious you're trying to get your dick wet while working out you'll build a reputation as the guy that tries to pick up girls - it's going to be a closed community particularly if you go at a certain time/day of the week. You can not approach directly.

Your attitude when it comes to the gym, should be to build friends & approach indirectly.

Examples of approaching indirectly:

-The gym is adding turf and/or adding/changing equipment, ask if they know what the staff is doing as an ice breaker.

-Equipment is in full use and you ask if you can work in with her (you need to seem like you're there to work out - stick to small talk and gauge if she is in a chatty mood/reciprocates).

-Request someone to spot you (this is a tough one since you have a small window but again, make small talk and gauge her mood).

-Make small talk & befriend the gym staff. Building social proof helps because it makes it appear that you're a friendly/chatty person.

If you're going to the gym frequently, then you should be in it for the long game. It takes the pressure off from going directly, and the indirect method is more effective with building comfort (building comfort is more important than building value, because attractive women constantly have eyes on them at the gym).

I have had much more success with women who work at the gym. You can build a rapport when you see them almost every day, and it's not rude to approach them and talk because they aren't in the middle working out.

Ive been going to the same gym since they opened two years ago. So I started with making friends with all the staff. Then start making friends and small talk with the dudes in there, so over time you know a lot of people.

Once you have a good little social circle, the girls will notice that you're "popular" in that environment. Your talking to staff, guys, people walking past you and high high fiving, etc.

So this makes is easier to naturally open girls. Open with asking them what their goals are, how long they've been lifting, joke, bring up something in the environment. Then move on and talk to other people. Once you get good rapport with aka "cute gym girl".....and this could be the FIRST conversation or the 20th, invite her to check out a brewery, new movie, this great Mexican restaurant, or Ive gotten two different girls to do a yoga class with me at separate location on a Saturday.

I'm never too forward at the gym with girls, because I don't want that reputation. It's more of a fun/friendly frame with " Hey, you seem pretty cool, let's check out______ this Friday"

Get a guy workout partner that's not completely socially awkward, invite cute gym girl and her friend to do _____ event with you two.

It's VERY possible to pick up girls at the gym, just don't get a bad reputation

Mini Field Report: Gym Edition: 2.5 months ago, I hit on one of the hottest girls in my gym. I got her number and she agreed to go on a date. She ended up ghosting me for a week, and then she texted me to apologize. She explained that she didn't text me back because she was on the fence due to the fact that she is talking to a guy.

She told me that she thought I was "Very nice and really handsome for what its worth"

Fast forward to today. I was getting a good lift in, really feeling myself. So I go over to her, she smiles at me, and then we both take our headphones out. I small talk her for about a minute and then I say "Listen, I still want to take you on a date. I remember what you told me two months ago, but I want you to know that"

She says "Ok, that sounds good, I'm not talking to anyone anymore"

I am not going to get my hopes up, but she told me that she is free next weekend, so I am going to try to "bump into her" at the gym again next week and set this date up in person. I feel like it will lower the chance of her ghosting/flaking on me again.

I don't have much tolerance for ghosters, but she's tall, blonde, and sexy as hell, so I am giving her a second chance

You can chat for 5 mins or 10 and add her on instagram there you can flirt and arrange a date.

Some good advice here and also heaps of bad advice. For people saying that you shouldn't approach girls at the gym and that girls are there to work out, those be the exact same guys staring at these girls with tight asses wishing they could fuck em.

Make friends with most of the staff there, they're all usually bored and hoping for someone to talk to. It's also great because you always have someone to talk to if you work out when they're working. You can do direct approaches but be very picky about em and really only do them when you get a good approach invitation. Other then that just do easy approaches that are convenient, if you're next to her ask how her workout's going, ask if you can work in with her if she's using a machine that you want. Simple easy approaches like that.

I think it depends entirely on the woman and you should be extremely adept at reading social cues, etc. If you can't tell that a woman is very obviously interested, then they probably aren't at the gym.

Having said that, I've only tried speaking to one woman and I've only succeeded with one woman, so my success rate at the gym is 100% lol Still, I just don't chat up women at the gym. This interaction was started entirely on wanting her to not get hurt and ended with my penis in her. So it was all rather accidental and organic. Fuck, she was so hot and buff.
