Hey guys, I need to approach and open this girl at the gym I go to...

I consider myself a good competitive training athlete. I train continuously for strength, endurance, balance and agility. I train upstairs at my gym for plyometrics and run fartlecks for soccer/ rugby training.

Recently a new woman has been training around the track almost every day I see her and she is clearly a hard trainer who trains similar to me but not quite. She is gorgeous by the way. Ive always been told not to bother trying to pickup these types of girls at the gym because they are often too busy and don't want to stop their workout. However, on numerous occasions I have caught her sneaking peaks at me around the gym and especially when I am running on the track.

She is about 25 and I am only just turned 20 so there's a bit of an age gap but that shouldn't be a problem I hope?. I just need to know what I can do to at least properly approach and meet this girl. I figure that when I actually open her properly I will just talk about training of some sort to keep the conversation going but I need advice...

You just answered your own question.

You told us what the main things about her are that you noticed: the fact that, like you, she trains abnormally hard

Use that as the topic to open.

Ask her what she's training for. Perhaps ask for some tips if she sounds knowledgable.

It's not as big of a deal to come up with a one-of-a-kind line as you think. Just say it with a genuine tone and confident attitude. It's the delivery.

that is a sound point. I always lack the application of knowledge in situations like this so its good to hear an outside opinion

Gym Pickups are specifically hard.

Remember this, You have NO Physical Game at the gym. It doesn't matter what you look like physically there. Everyone else is good looking, and in shape, or trying to get there. So it's almost completely removed from the picture when you are approaching, unless it's negative, and you are overweight. In which case you have even more to work for.

I suggest slow playing the target. Talk normally. Open casually and build rapport with the target as someone different. If she is as gorgeous as you say, she will be used to guys leading with direct lines. Instead make the first conversation short, with some stuff about training, no direct compliments unless small and unique, definitely not about her physique, and careful not to sound creepy with "I watch you, I like how you work." then you give off you are watching her.... Not always useful.

Attempt something quick and sincere, either upon entrance, or upon exiting the gym, like "I see you here almost every day" If she responds back go off of it quickly, and then get back to your workout. This shows priority is not her. If it makes you more comfortable, add an open ended question "are you training for something specific? Or is it just for personal fitness?" By asking a double question like that you do not give her the option to simply say "yes" which leads nowhere. Again, small light banter, end the conversation. If you finish it as smoothly as you started it, You will have more than enough reason and knowledge about her to open another conversation at another time with her and use it to gain some personal information and a possible number.

The close is easy at the gym however!!

"It's bad to always work out at the gym you know, We should go for a run sometime. Why don't you give me your number and We can do just that."

Or on the same level

"You should really mix up your workouts for cardio, You should give me your number so I can take you dancing."
(You would be surprised how fast the word "dancing" will get you a number.... Just make sure you can back it up if you actually want to call.)

Cheers Mate, that dead on what I needed

Hi, just a suggestion... you dont NEED to approach the girl, you WANT to approach the girl.
Think it as if you WANT instead of NEED and it will take some stress out of you.

Dont pickup at the gym man, ever heard of the expression dont shit where you eat. Gym is gym time, your time , male time .As soon as you start getting occupied with girls at the gym you loose focus and dont gain results.

yep, and most girls HATE when guys flirt with them at the gym. I used to work at a gym, so I'd know...

lol, BULL-SHIT

There are tons of girls, at least in my city, that go to the gym just to show off.
Everyyyytime I'm working out in the evening(when there are lots of girls), they keep glancing over and just looking without shame.

And I am not your buffed guy, trying to get there though.

So yeah, if the girl isn't alone she could be opened easily. If she's alone and training hard, and she looks like she doesn't want to be disturbed, she doesn't.

I say just make quick comments at the gym, if they respond with something verbal, engage the conversation while keep working out. FTC-like.

I don't need openers at the gym because girls fuckin open me. AND THATS FOR REAL!!

Its a shame that some don't want to be opened because I always considered the fit girls at the gym to be some of the hottest in the city, I will probably have to join some sort of yoga class or something because I havent been able to get it right in the cardio room yet.

I mentioned it somewhere else, but girls are insecure as it is in the gym.
Some of them REALLLY don't want to get approached in the gym. I work in membership sales, and I've had girls not join because creepos kept hitting on them during their guest pass. I've also had girls cancel because they didnt feel comfortable around men.

I personally think you just need to have a presence at the gym. Such a way that you talk to everybody and people start getting comfortable with you. Sorta like acting like you know somebody when you're in the club. You should also do some physical feat. I'm 150 and I deadlifted 295 recently. I got people talkin. But again, this is the gym that I'm at 10-14 hours a day

I personally can't do anything at the gym (as much as I'd like to), because it's not professional. I'd just want to fuck, and if she's not thinking the same, I'm gonna be dealing with another cancellation.

True, Its just a shame that girls are more difficult to pickup at the gym because I find that the best looking girls are the ones who frequent the gym. Maybe just an opinion. I would love to have more success there.
