Is it a bad idea?
Well, hear from a female quote
"I've never had anyone try to pick me up at the gym (I'm female.) but definitely wouldn't mind. My gym has a smoothie bar -- if yours does too, you could always make a campy kind of bar joke of the "may I buy you a drink after your workout?"
**NOTE: If you don't have to personality, you will not be able to pull that line mention above off. So don't, come up with something that suits you.
***NOTE: (my big two cents) DO NOT buy her a drink unless there is a good reason to do so. She has to earn it before you give her any sort of gift!
And I personally do it once in a while, it's me who are so focus most of the time and not interested in picking up women at the gym. But when you see someone couldn't let her pass you by. YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING. Start a conversation and get contact info, number, facebook, etc.
Every man would like to have a beautiful, sexy girlfriend with a perfect body, with whom to be very proud and start the envy of all his friends. Let's face it: there is no man on the street that will not look after an athletic body of a beautiful, attractive lady. But for many of them this remains only a dream because they don't know where to meet this kind of woman and how to do it. The best place to meet a woman with an athletic body and in a very good shape is gym.
With the current attention being paid to healthy lifestyles, fitness has become a very important aspect of life today. That's why more and more people decided to go to the gym. Let's say that you are going to the gym for a long time and in the last days a new interesting girl is passing over here. She is very attractive and you would really like to know her better but you don't know how to approach her.
Approaching a woman successfully is only one of the most stressful situation a man must face because you don't know her, how she thinks, what she likes, and if she is friendly or not. But, if you make it carefully and know how to do it, you may have success. You may use these tips to approach your crush at the gym.
- first and the most important, if you want to be flirting with, don't wear earphones, because it will inhibit her approaching you
- find something that you both do at the gym so you will be able to ask her advice about, or a machine that you both use, to have what to talk about
- you may talk to her about gym, sports, regimen, workout
- best way to start a conversation with her is to go to some machine near by her and ask if she is using it or not and just start talking afterwards
- first talk to her as a friend to see if she notice you
- use deodorant to make sure that you don't smell bad, to not make a bad impression from the beginning
- try to catch her eye every time you see her and smile
- if she smiles you too you may approach her because she is interested
- pay attention and if she is having trouble with a machine or accessing an equipment you may offer your help in order to start a conversation with her
- you should try to get her phone number, but don't look too desperate
- also you may try to bring an iPod with you and ask her if she knows a certain song
- if you decided to go near her and start a conversation you must know from the beginning what to say, so think first and then go
- accost her once she has just finished her set and ask if you can work with her, to make alternative exercises
- start to make accidental body contact
- when she is leaving you may say to her goodbye and ask her when she comes again, then she will have to talk to you next time she will see you
- you may ask her friendly for a cup of coffee somewhere near the club, you don't have anything to lose
- spot her at the gym
- another important aspect is that you have to look very serious about your workout, so don't stay and stare at girls; if she see that you are just fooling around she will notice that you are going to the gym just to date
Remember that you don't have necessarily to become a personal trainer or to do yoga classes to get a beautiful lady which you've seen at the gym; you just have to take it carefully and know how to approach her.
More pointers:
If you might be lucky enough that SHE will say "hi" to YOU! Just promise us that if she does that you won't be all weird about it -- guys who don't like a woman who can take the initiative are annoying.
1) OF COURSE you should smile. Smiling says you are friendly and having a good time. Why would she want to talk to you if you were unfriendly and hating what you were doing?
2) You've got some good advice on this thread as to how and when to say "hi." Like, not in the middle of the elliptical workout when she's panting too hard to answer, okay? :-) And not when she's holding free weights over her head that you could surprise her into dropping, LOL.

How to Approach a Woman at the Gym
Approach woman at the gym simple and easy way.
The gym is a tricky place to approach a women. Most women there are trying to get a serious workout and meeting guys is the last thing on their mind. Many women wear headphones just so guys will not bother them at the gym.
Here are some tips on how to approach women at the gym.
Make eye contact with girls you find attractive. If she gives you eye contact or more open/positive body language, try to catch her before or after her workout.
Guys here a tip, make the conversation fun, flirty and witty. I would not recommend commenting on her physique right off the bat.
You can let her know, she caught your eye and you had to see what she was about.
After speaking to her, find out if she is worthy of your time. Does she have more going for her, than her looks or her body? Can you she carries on a conversation? If not, you will be carrying the conversation and you will be bored in a few minutes.
Once you have qualified her, I recommend a drink or coffee for the first outing. Tell her it will be quick. Ladies don’t want to be trapped for an extended amount of time with a guy they don’t really know.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ
Girls that are serious about working out don’t want to be hit on in the middle of their workout. On a positive note. If you offer a hi, how are you and say, if you ever need a spot, let me know. That’s fine. From then, take it slow at the gym. Just say hi, how are you doing for a while until she feels comfortable with you. Then catch her before her workout if possible and make small talk. It’s not usually a quick thing at the gym, from my experience. Most of the time I just get creeped out. In my gym the weight room is on one floor and cardio and is on another floor. I am usually the only woman in the weight room so it makes it really hard.
REMEMBER, take it really slow and make it light and fun. Keep the attraction, push-pull phrase longer than usual every time you meet early on. And be COOL.
