FR Cold approach at the gym

[barneystin]

For the folks who might be too scared to approach that hottie at the gym. I somewhat regularly cold approach at my gym. i work out of two gyms - one close to work and one to home.

i mostly go to the one close to work and go to the other one once a week. I try to avoid approaching at the one close to my work because some co-workers go there but i’ve been doing one approach per visit (so one approach a week) at the other gym.

Most approaches have gone fine. The “harshest” rejection i got was from a girl who told me she needed to focus on her work out and even then, she was receptive at the beginning so i probably screwed up somewhere.

Anyway for this report, I walk into the gym on a beautiful afternoon and go to do my warmups/stretches before my actual workout. As i’m stretching, I notice this cute blonde behind me from the mirror in front of me. I could sorta sense that she was a good candidate to open but i can’t say she was giving me signs - it was purely a hunch. i didn’t open them however. I just continued with my stretches and moved on to my workout which was in a different part of the gym.

In the middle of my first workout, she moved to the machine near me and for my next workout, I moved even closer to her.

I noticed there was no one around her (I get nervous when there’s a chance that other people might hear me game). And for some reason, I thought she looked really british. She gave off a cool, london, classy vibe.

I procrastinated going up to her in between sets but I realized I felt like talking to someone in general so i figured why not her. I walked up to her and said:

me, waving and smiling: hey!
her: notices me, removes her airpods and looks at me
me: you look sooo british, are you from the UK?
her, laughing: what?? no one’s ever told me that. i’m from here in new york

me: no wayy
her: yesss
me: well i was way off
her: laughs

i introduce myself and we exchange names

me: so what are you working out today?
her: i’m doing legs
me: legs?? on a weekend? you’re supposed to have fun on the weekend
her, laughing: i love legs so this is fun to me
me: oh no, i hate legs. i’m doing arms and chest today so that’s my version of fun

we continue to talk about work, living in new york and where she would live if she wanted to get out of the city, where i’m coming from etc

The conversation lasts for about 10 minutes and she’s giving really open body language - laughing, attention radius narrowed to me and asking me questions. (i don’t think i did anything special here besides just tease a lot which she responded well to)

At this point, I tell her, “we should hang out sometime” and she says “yes, we should!”. I hand her my phone and she puts her full name in and her job lol. I tell her i’ll text her and hug her goodbye.

Our texting:
Me: “<my name>”
Me: “<my initial for my last name”
(this was kind of an inside joke since she wanted me to tell her my full name after giving me hers and i gave her my last name initial telling her that she can figure the rest out)

me: “it was nice meeting you, we should get drinks soon ” (she hearts this message)
her: Same here! For sureeee
me:sweet, what’s your schedule like?

I haven’t gotten a response yet but it’s looking positive and i think i’ll get a response soon. Will update this thread if this turns into a date or something.

Nice one bro. I also approached a cutie at the gym the other day and had a great chat.

When I went for the coffee close she told me she had a bf tho.

There's another bae I've been eyeing there and gonna set on her next. She has a cute face and a bum to die for...

Nice

Also love approaching at the gym, if I happen to see a cute chick near me, I see no reason not to at least go up to her,

Stopped going for numbers as much and more for connection and playing a bit of a longer, social circle game though

Worst rejection I ever got was a girl politely telling me she wanted to focus on her workout

Another thing you can do to approach is ask for a favor from a girl(asking her to record a video of your set or smth)

My main problem is I go to a darker, warehouse type of gym, way less girls, and half the ones there are bodybuilders/manish

Gyms in the city can be a goldmine tho hahahaha

ouu that’s an angle i haven’t thought of. you get some nice compliance at the beginning too

will give it a shot

Approaching in the gym is...fraught. I have 4 infields from the gym including a number close. So far, approaches have gone well.

But there is always a situation in which I just can't bring myself to approach. For instance, a girl in a group with 2 guys. Or a girl working out next to someone else in earshot.

Various scenarios where I simply cannot bring myself to. Especially when they are dressed so sexily.

And yet, the girls that I will have the most interesting common with will be in the gym.

And the gym is second only to nightlife for volume of hot chicks. Yet when I am there, I want to get on with my work.

I don't want an awkward situation to occur and put me off. Sometimes, things can get awkward.

Yessir, tbh I started a fitness channel, need videos for that, but you can even have them record videos to just look at ur phone

Tbh when I ask them I think I need to be a bit warmer with them, because sometimes I tend to ask in a more neutral tone
