Hey guys, so over the past year I've been hitting the gym super hard. I've went down from 195 to 155 and now I'm starting to lift hard and putting on good weight. Throughout the last year though I have been going to the gym strictly for my own benefit not to pick up any chicks. Now that I have the body I want though and my confidence is rediculous I was wondering if anyone had any good openers to use at the gym. I mean I have read some on here, but I've been working out around these attractive girls for a year now and haven't really said anything. Just did my own thing. So I'm kind of looking for something natural and I haven't been able to come up with anything on my own.

One of the hardest thing to do. The gym.

I've been hitting the gym for over 4 years now (5 times a week)... and I'm still sitting in my corner doing my own shit. Yunno what I think about the gym? Don't even try to PU there. Going to the gym, building muscle, will give you confidence... use that confidence elsewhere.

If you start socializing at the gym, you'll lose interest in having a healthy, great looking body, then you'll lose out on other girls you see in clubs, mall, etc.

Trust me, use the gym for yourself. It should never be used to sarge.

Cheers my man!

Adding to this, I don't think you tend to attract girls while you're full of sweat and you smell like cheese

Shit, I'd walk up to her while dabbing sweat off of my forehead and say "goddamn this shit is hard, I'm like this just walking from the car!" The better shape you're in the funnier this is, obviously.

Dude, having attract girls around me is one of the top 3 reasons that I even go to the gym religiously! And I am rediculously attracted to good looking chicks that are at the gym because then I know that they take care of themselves and I don't have to worry about them getting chunky.

I do agree though gym game is hard as shit because mostly everyone there is there to work out and not be fucked with. And mostly everyone there has an ipod on. I mean it would be easy as shit if I could ask a girl to give me a spot or something but I don't think that would DHV very much lol (plus I don't think I would trust them very much with the weight that I use).

My personal opinion is anyone that can come up with some kind of top notch routine for gym game is a MPUA.

i think asking a HB as she walked by for a spot when you got 2 plates on each side of the bar would be pretty funny. maybe that in itself could be the opener as long as you're not serious.
my opinion on gym game is up your social value in the gym. be friendly to everyone. if you go there everyday then you probably see the same people.
become friends with everyone including the guys. if you're always talking to everyone when you do go talk to a girl it won't feel like you're trying to hit on her and she'll want to get to know you because apparently everyone else already does.

I like the theory morning woodz. I think asking a girl to spot you with 2 plates on each side would be funny, but its something that a douche bag tool would do.

Well HBs might not be bad for your training, when theirs alot of pretty around me I tend to put on extra kilos and do my extreme best to impress them.

One that has worked for me is go to the classes.

I'm a kickboxer so started going to a BodyCombat class coz I knew the moves and didn't look a spaz from day one. I was able to join in a conversation with the instructor, who was a really nice lady, from the end of the first session and a few of the members.

On my second class I was able to walk up to join the huddle of fit girls outside the studio, say hi, and then talk about the class.

From session 3 I was able to talk to any of them about anything, as I had been accepted as one of their classmates. By this time, attending one class a week, I was now able to talk to one of my classmates any other time I saw one at the gym during the week. They all now knew my first name and I was getting introduced to their friends.

Now I can be in the weight area with the guys who look lustfully over at the hotties coming out of an aerobics class and I can just stroll over and start chatting to one or more of them. The guys wonder how I do it - the answer is I put in the groundwork.

And when you are out at a club with your mates and there are a bunch of fit girls in tight dresses... well in my case I started seeing girls from the gym who I knew in the local clubs so was able to walk up, say hi, pick up a conversation, and get introduced to their friends.

Well worth the effort I would say.

saint99... I like how you worked towards meeting HBs at the gym!

I'm more introverted when it comes to working out... so to speak. And maybe that's why I don't "think outside the box" and join a class or something. I will surely try that, starting this week!

Awesome!

Five-O,

I can honestly say the one class a week, even if you only go for a month or so, is well worth the investment for the opportunities it opens. Hope it works out for you.

Similarly, if anyone else has tried this, or feels inspired to try it after reading this, I for one would be interested to hear how you got on, how you followed up, etc, the whole game plan.

You've got something in common just by the fact your in the gym together so ask her if she likes her routine shes been given - just use the surroundings and think of something relevant and if shes into you she will just start to chat and dont ask for her number cause if she likes you she might just give it to you.
Advice given to me from a PUA who has had success himself. You'll be OK.

Good points.

Asking for the number can be done in a more benign way - suggesting you train together sometime, whether you mean to or not.

One girl I had been chatting to, the initial flirting stage, I hadn't seen for about 2 weeks, then we ran into each other - she came out of class and approached me in the weights area in fact. She remarked on how she hadn't seen me for a while. I said she should text me to let me know when she was down. I don't have your number, she replied. Do you want it?, I replied. Yes we swapped numbers, yes we went out.

Also, the girl you first become friends with doesn't have to be your "target" - she can just be an in to be accepted as someone who is friends with the girls there, not some idiot hassling them.

How are you being presented and how are you being talked about?
"Oh that Adam, he's a real nice guy"
"Oh that idiot, he always hassles the girls in here".

good stuff saint.
i just started doing the spinning classes.
usually about 20 people in there and only 1 or 2 guys.
thinking of getting into yoga too. all the HB's love that.

Getting in touch isn't that hard. I lived abroad for a few months and started going to the gym every day. After a month and a half I started getting along really well with the instructor and he introduced me to a lot of people that I only knew by seeing them every day. It's actually so absurd! You see these people almost every day and you have a major thing in common. You go the the same gym, your both human beings and therefore share "a lifestyle".

Don't focus on HB's only. Get along with the instructor, the regulars who are there every day. If one of the regulars is a HB, she's just a part of "the group" you're becoming part of. If she only comes a few times a week you have the advantage of being there a lot, knowing the people. Major social proof that you should use!

Living abroad I took one of the HB's home. And at the end even the most arrogant HB's, you tend to find quite a lot in gyms, were even looking for my attention and aproval. A shame I couldn't stay there longer

Now I'm back in Belgium started going to a gym here and trying to follow my own advice.

Keep us posted on your progress!
