Cold approach at the gym. Daygame or social circle?

[killerman]

So I approached a hot girl at the gym. Initially this was after looking up I'd notice her looking and smiling at me and then a minute later she did the same thing again. Had a bit of conversation then I saw her at the gym again today. Went up to her, talked for a bit then got her number. The thing is I know social circle game is a little different to cold approach so the question is, what type of approach was this? Was it social circle, as we both go to the same gym and we're connected in a way? Or was it cold approach seeing how i'd never spoken to her before last week and I had no idea who she was or what she does. Now seeing how it wasnt your usual street, mall approach and I've already spoken to her before, how quickly should I follow up with a date offer? Do I still text her 3-5 hours after meeting her and ask her for date tomorrow? Or does it call for a different approach and tactics?

I think it's a bit of both; it's a cold approach, but it's a women that you probably will see many times again at the gym which gives it a bit of a social circle touch.

There was a previous thread here in which it was agreed that approaching girls at the gym is not a very good idea because of the social circle aspect of it.
