I think these people have interacted at the gym before and they’re just seeing how things are going.

You’re way overthinking this.

It’s very likely that there has been some non verbal and quite possibly verbal communication at least in passing before these situations you observed. “Roided out” or at least very fit guys obviously spend a lot of time on that, and most of them are going to have a somewhat consistent schedule just as a very fit girl counterpart would. From experience when I was religious about working out before Covid contributed to me falling off wagon, in several different gyms throughout college and beyond, I would consistently see the same people when I go. Depending on your motives for being there, two common paths to interaction open up. First, its likely you’ll end up working out next to every other regular at some point if you go long enough, and subsequently using the same equipment which leads to needing to have basic conversation regarding how many sets someone has left or whatever else that’s actually just necessary with no ulterior motives. If you’re looking to actually talk to someone you’ve seen regularly, you can use those opportunities to have platonic communication and progress from there according to your own motives and basic awareness of how the other party reacts and interacts with you. If you notice the same person regularly, they’ve very likely noticed you at least somewhat as well.

Basically, just walking up to some girl you’ve never seen before while she’s working out, and laying it on heavy to interrupt her exercise, that’s almost unanimously going to be viewed as rude and not taken very well except low probability situations where you’re both just that instantly physically attracted and in a similar mindset about the opposite sex. Whether or not you’re looking to talk to someone for a potential date or beyond, it’s best to treat others in a friendly, platonic way that’s reasonable without interrupting to do some meathead, “alpha” intrusive pick up lines. From there it’s easy to gauge if someone is cool with talking to you more then and in the future, and let things progress naturally without making a fool of yourself or making someone else uncomfortable. These guys likely have a lot of experience in the gym handling situations like this, and very likely there was at least some non verbal communication leading up to the encounters you saw. Anyways, that’s just from my perspective and experience, but hopefully that helps you out.

The part you’re missing is that if you are attractive to said women you can approach her anywhere. They don’t like being approached by men they don’t find attractive. You also don’t know if these guys have built a little rapport before doing this like complimenting her in pass bys or clear eye contact with her from across the gym.

I've started making small talk with girls at the gym. I'm average fitness. My rule is that if I see a girl look at me more than one in a short time frame. I MUST say something to her. Compliment her shirt, or something. Be aware of girls IOIs because they are subtle but they are there, and you don't need to be some roided up dude. Just be in good shape and presentable.

What do you mean by “bodyrocking”?

Also, sounds like they’ve talked once or twice before at least.

From what I observe ( go to gym 5 days a week) these ppl haev talked befoer or interacted befoer and its typically a short "hey whats going on type of deal" and catching up rather then them hitting on them.

But hey maybe one out of 10 of those are getting a number and meeting up to date. You could always try but its a risk. thats why the general consensus is girls' don't want to be bothered. I've asked alot of my female friend who work out and tehy generally do not want to be approached at all

They're chad, you're not. What is there to explain?

Is there such a thing as seduction training? Making friendship's, approaching the opposite sex, communicating, seducing someone, the act of having sex are all skills. There is physiological, emotional and psychological aspects to all of them, but bottom line is they are skills. Just like any other skill, it can be sharpened, or just untapped potential, that depends on the individual. You did mention one thing that, I believe is VERY important: confidence. I've had relationship's and intimate relationships with a number of women. I've actually had a couple of them comment that I'm am/was the most confident person they have ever known. There are factors that enhance one's confidence, I have had a good, solid decent paying job for over 20 years, I'm not wealthy but I do OK. I see myself as a reasonably well read, intelligent person. I actually work at keeping myself in decent physical shape etc. These factor's can enhance a person's overall confidence, including with the opposite sex. I've read, and responded to guys wanting to know, what to say, what music to play, how to best seal the deal. The guys at the gym have most likely had a lot of success approaching women and now it's become second nature. Believe me, they can recognize the one's that they have no chance with very quickly.
