Today we are going to have a look at how to pick up girls at the gym without forcing her to throw a dumbbell directly into your balls.
A couple of decades ago I wrote an article about why some girls like muscles. I also shared my workout routine and a really motivating image in which you see a hot girl who is literally slobbering while she is looking at a muscular guy.
I really hope that this article could motivate you to lift your ass from the couch, to say no to diabetes and early heart attacks and to improve your looks without booking an appointment with a plastic surgeon.
In case I couldn’t motivate you to hit the gym I want you to focus one last time on the following female facial expression:
Is the way this lascivious blond bombshell bites in her lip not enough motivation to join the local gym and to hit on all the hot girls that the sweaty halls have to offer?
It definitely is.
But what’s even more motivating than that is the fact that there are many different kinds of girls in the gym who are worth hitting on…
The Girls Who Want to Get Picked Up at the Gym
At first I wanted to call this subheading “the girls you meet at the gym”, but after I thought about it for a while I changed it to “the girls who want to get picked up at the gym”. The reason why I changed it is pretty simple.
No, not because you have to be the instructor to get them, even though it definitely helps.
You meet a lot of different girls at the gym. You meet the girls with boyfriend who just want to work out, you meet the Barbie dolls who are just there because they want to take 635 selfies while pretending to work out and you even meet the ones who are just sitting at the bar and gossiping about Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber.
Those girls are not that interesting when it comes to your intention to pick up beautiful women at the gym.
Instead of wasting your time by listing all the hundreds of different types of girls you can possibly meet, I decided to focus on the ones that WANT to meet you.
Believe it or not, but some of the girls you meet at the gym fantasize about a confident guy who approaches them from the moment they signed the contract. Let’s have a look at the girls who are not only open to a conversation on the treadmill, but who actually want you to hit on them.
The Stretchable Hunter
Instead of risking a black eye by gazing at one of the girls who works out next to her aggressive boyfriend, you should rather focus your energy on the stretchable hunter.
Yep, you are not the only one who thinks that the gym is the perfect place to hit on the opposite sex.
You might not believe it, but there are quite a few girls who joined the gym with the same intention as you.
There are girls who are single, lonely and dauntingly underfucked who just joined the gym because they see this as their last chance to find the man of their dreams, or at least a guy who bangs the shit out of them.
Despite the popular belief that all hot girls have a harem of guys to choose from, a lot of them are incredibly lonely. Nobody is hitting on them and everybody is afraid of them. Getting approached by a confident guy in the gym seems to be the only way to end their dry spell.
I call them the stretchable hunters, because they usually wear tight-ass yoga pants and spend more time stretching than lifting.
Of course she only does it for one reason. She wants you to lose your senses and to think about doing all kinds of naughty things with her delicious booty.
Oh, and she knows that her tight yoga pants help a lot.
The Whale With Potential
Whereas the stretchable hunter knows that she is hot, there is another type of girl who has no idea that she has hidden seductive powers.
The reason for that is pretty simple. She hasn’t used them yet and she still has to lose a few pounds to reach her full potential.
It happened to me once that I saw a girl at the gym that I wouldn’t have touched if somebody would have offered me thousand bucks. After about four months I saw her again. This time I was blown away. The transformation was absolutely insane.
A friend of mine is a fitness instructor and every new girl he ends up in bed with has once been a whale with potential. He supports them, he trains them and eventually he bangs them. Hitting on those girls is like investing in a stock that grows about 10% every month.
The Divorced Treadmill Addict
Have you ever thought about dating older women?
Good, because now it’s time to hit on single mamas and divorced women who ran away before their hubby could put a baby in their belly. It’s time to pick up divorced treadmill addicts.
How do I describe the best what a divorced treadmill addict is?
Well, let me share a personal story with you:
My mother has this one friend who recently got divorced. When she was married she was like every average married woman. Right after her naive husband put the ring on her finger she gained some weight. Over the years she not only gained some weight, she gained a lot of weight. Eventually, she ended up being an average frustrated middle-aged woman with short hair and a big belly.
Now that she was divorced she suddenly realized that she won’t have a chance in the dating game unless she was willing to change. She wasn’t able to turn back time, but a healthy diet and a gym membership helped her to look even better than in her twenties.
“Come here and enjoy what my ex-husband misses out on!”
While her husband is pissed as hell that he wasted the best years of his life with a woman who looked like a sack of potatoes, her current boyfriend has the time of his life.
Guess where they met the first time?
The Ones You Should Stay Away From
Hitting on the stretchable hunter, the whale with potential and the divorced treadmill addict can be really rewarding. However, there are also the kinds of girls that you should better stay away from, at least when you don’t want to end up as the barbell of some gigantic female bodybuilder.
If I were you I would stay away from two types of women:
- The Breakup Recovery Girl
- The Bad-Ass Bodybuilder
The breakup recovery girls are the ones who just broke up with their ex-boyfriends or who just got dumped by them. Recognizing them is very easy. They are the ones who ride the bicycle as if there was no tomorrow.
Their eyes are full of aggression, anger and resentment. The way they hassle the treadmill makes you want to call Amnesty International. They are at a point at which they hate everything that has a dick and they are definitely not ready to meet a new man.
If you see a girl with the following facial expression you should NOT approach her:
“Don’t mess with me dickhead!”
The second type of girl that you should avoid is the bad-ass bodybuilder. Of course you can approach them if you have a fetish for muscular women, but don’t run to me crying after one of those fighting machines gave you a rejection with her right hand.
I just want to warn you that women who use steroids tend to get aggressive very easily.
Of course not all girls who are able to lift their own body weight fall in the category crazy steroid monster. If the bad-ass bodybuilder looks like the girl in the following video you should definitely try to pick her up:
How NOT to Pick Up Girls at the Gym
Do you like the girl in the video?
I bet you do.
I also bet that you want to talk to her, take her home and marry her straight away.
However, in order to make sure that she will say “yes” when you put the ring on her muscular finger, you should better have a look at all the things you shouldn’t do when you approach her while she does squats.
Of course you can also jump directly to the part where I am revealing the techniques that help you to seduce cute stretchable hunters in yoga pants and divorced moms who try to convince themselves that they are still twenty. You can obviously do that, but unless you want to end up as her punching ball, you might want to have a look at how NOT to pick up girls at the gym.
Being the Creepy Small Talk Guy
Every girl hates the creepy guy who stares at her ass as if he thinks about raping her. Okay, some of the stretchable hunters might enjoy it, but the majority of girls want to continue their workout without having a private stalker who follows them to every exercise machine.
Even though the creepy stalker is already a pain in the ass, there is one guy who is even more dreaded by women.
The creepy small talk guy…This dude really need to learn how to connect with women.
In case you read this article to the end, which you hopefully do, and you still act like the creepy small talk guy, you have to tell me where you live. I will knock on your door, just to give you a bitch slap.
What does the creepy small talk guy do that annoys women so much?
He follows a simple four step process:
- He stares at her like a convicted rapist
- He offers his help even though he has no idea what he is doing
- He tries to start small talk with “I haven’t seen you here before…”
- He follows her wherever she goes while he pretends to do his workout.
Here is an instructional video:
Do yourself and the female gym members a favor and don’t be this guy.
Playing the Numbers Game
I have already written many articles on how to approach and seduce women and in quite a few of them I give you the advice to talk to a lot of girls. Of course your skills, your beliefs, your mindset, your determination and your knowledge of the art of seduction are all aspects that will eventually lead you on a path of success.
Nevertheless, you would suffer from a loss of reality if you would claim that the chances of getting laid are higher when you approach 10 girls instead of 1000 girls. The chance to meet one out of thousand who is horny, lonely and who fantasized about a man like you is definitely higher than by only approaching ten girls.
Playing the numbers game is quite helpful, at least to a certain extent.
But…
When it comes to learning how to pick up girls at the gym, playing the numbers game will break your neck.
Of all the places you can possibly hit on girls, this is the worst place to play the numbers game. There are basically two reasons for that.
Reason #1:
Unless you have the luck to be so androgynous that you can sneak in a woman’s only gym, you are most likely surrounded by ten sweaty and smelly dudes and maybe one hot girl. I mean, let’s be honest. The male to female ratio in most gyms is even worse than in a nightclub in Washington DC.
As a result of this ratio, EVERY guy in the building stares at the two, three and if you are really lucky four hot girls in the gym. Thanks to the testosterone boost that we men experience while pumping iron, every 7 suddenly turns into a 10.
What does that have to do with the numbers game?
None of your competitors will say something when you approach a beautiful girl. They might also keep their mouths shut when you approach the second girl. However, as soon as you approach girl number three, some of them will transform into white knights in order to bang….uhm save the poor girl.
The last thing you want is a 6.5 foot wall who starts a fight with you, because he is scared that you get the girl that he also has an eye on.
Reason #2:
Every girl who you approach wants to have the feeling that she is special. It is hard enough to convince a woman you meet on the street that she is the first girl you have approached today. It is impossible to do the same when she already saw you talking to five different girls.
Most gyms are not that big. In case you are working out at a place with several floors you might get away with playing the numbers game, but if there is only one floor, you won’t get away with it. She will roll her eyes before you even talk to her.
Taking Girl’s Classes
If you love doing yoga, go to a yoga class. Heck, if you love doing Zumba, join a Zumba class.
But if you join the yoga or Zumba class at your local gym because you hope to get laid, I have to warn you.
99% of women know that there are at least one or two guys in every yoga or Zumba class who only go there to get laid. When a fat dude who can’t even see his own penis does Zumba and a guy who can’t lift his left leg without breaking it does yoga, their alarm system goes on.
I know, taking a class at a gym that is full of beautiful women sounds like fining the Holy Grail without searching for it. However, that doesn’t change the fact that they will press their legs together as soon as you enter the room.
How to Pick Up Girls at the Gym
Now that you got rid of your pink workout pants after you have realized that you won’t become the next Zumba god, it is time to have a look at what you can actually do to pick up girls at the gym without making a fool out of yourself.
No numbers game, no creepy small talk and no classes that are designed for girls and run by a gay instructor called Jorge.
When it comes to meeting girls next to the bench press there are things that are way more important than the number of approaches you can make.
Don’t Get Intimidated by the Steroid Monsters
Do you want to know what I thought when I forced myself to do my first approach in my local gym?
“She will reject me. There is no way that she will give me her number. I am sure she fantasizes about the guy with the big biceps who is standing next to me. The last thing she wants is to get approached by a weed like me.”
Believe it or not, but he might not be the man of her dreams
I was intimidated. My heart was beating faster than Usain Bolt runs the 100 meters, but her beauty was not the reason why I was intimidated. I was intimidated by the huge, ripped and muscular male fitness models and semi-professional bodybuilders who were standing next to me.
I felt confident on the street, where I was surrounded by average guys, but next to men who consumed more steroids than cows I felt like an insignificant worm.
The fact that she might be interested in a guy like me while she could enjoy milking one of those potential Conan’s was out of my reality.
It took me a few approaches and a few numbers I got from girls at the gym to realize that not all women are into steroid cows. You have absolutely no reason to not approach her, even if Arnold Schwarzenegger in person stands next to you.
Social Intelligence is the Key
Let me ask you a simple question:
Who is more socially intelligent, guy number one or guy number two?
Guy number one approaches every girl he sees. He runs around as if he is doing circuit training in maximum speed. He is talking to every girl in the room and he is completely ignoring the fact that the second and third girl he approached already saw him talking to girl number one before he even walked up to them.
Guy number two doesn’t run around like a chicken without a head. He follows his workout routine, observes the environment and looks out for girls during the breaks between the sets. When he spots a beautiful girl on the treadmill he doesn’t simply run up to her in the hope that she doesn’t break her neck while falling from that goddamn thing.
Guess which one of those guys gets the smile, the number, the date and the unforgettable sexual experience?
Of course it’s guy number two and the only reason why he gets the digits and the pussy is because he proved that he is more socially intelligent than guy number one. The one skill that you need to seduce girls at the gym is social intelligence.
The Two Ways You Can Approach Her
Now that you know that guy number two is the one who gets laid, we are going to have a look at how he has to approach the sexy girl in yoga pants in order to motivate her to drop them for him.
In my experience, there are only two different scenarios that lead to success.
Let’s assume you saw a girl who made your heart thump. You feel the desire to approach her and you decided that you don’t want to scare the shit out of her by jumping in front of the treadmill and screaming “surprise!”.
Here’s what you have to do:
Scenario One: Approach her during her workout
If you approach her during your workout you have two options. You can either wait until she is pretty much alone. Then you can approach her with a simple “hey” and introduce yourself to her. In this case it is totally okay that it looks as if she is getting to know a stranger. She won’t have to fear any social judgement.
Make sure that you have some private space
However, if the gym is really packed and there are hordes of people around her, you should approach her as a friend. Of course you should show her with your body language that you are interested in more than a friendship.
As long as the people around you think that you are good friends who know each other for years you have done everything right. Forget about the handshake and the formal introduction. A friendly “how are you?” or “Jeez, you really lift a lot” are enough to start the conversation.
Scenario Two: Wait until She is finished
In some situations she might be surrounded by people when she is working out while the entry area of the gym looks like a ghost town. In this case you can wait until she has finished her workout and surprise her under the shower.
Okay, please don’t do that.
What I wanted to say is that you should wait until she is on her way out.
This is less creepy than she shower surprise, but way more effective. And you don’t run the risk of landing in jail. Wait until she is about to leave the gym and approach her. You can even wait until she is outside. In this case you can approach her the way you would do it if you would meet her on the street.
And whenever you are in doubt, just pick her up:
Compliment Her Skills, Not Her Body
Once you have waited long enough until the girl of your sweaty dreams is not surrounded by ten other stretchable hunters who might get jealous because your pick her instead of them, it is time for the approach.
As you hopefully know, the key element of every direct approach is the compliment.
While I encourage you to use very direct and slightly sexual compliments in nearly all other situations, I won’t encourage you to do the same in the gym.
In my experience girls who go to a gym are not that impressed when you tell them how hot you are, even though their might be a wet spot on her panties as soon as you say it.
There are basically two reasons for that:
Reason #1:
Whenever you interrupt a girl during her workout in order to give her a direct compliment she instinctively assumes that you are one of the creepy guys. She assumes that you spent the last hour observing the way her butt cheeks move in her yoga pants, which is anything but attractive.

Reason #2:
The biggest fear of every girl is to be seen as a slut and this fear is even bigger if she wears a belly top and tight yoga pants. She knows that some people already judge her for wearing that stuff. The last thing she wants is to get judged by even more people. Unfortunately, this can easily happen when you approach a girl who is dressed like a pole dancer with a sexual compliment.
How can you show her that you are aware of her biggest fear without appearing creepy?
Compliment her on her skills, not on her looks.
Let her know that you are impressed that she can lift so heavy. Let her know that you are impressed at how much energy she invests in staying fit. If she is obsessed with working out, complimenting her on her achievements will put a smile on her face.
Connect Through Your Passion
When you approach a woman on the street you first have to find out what she is passionate about and what she doesn’t like, before you can connect with her.
You don’t have to do any of that when you approach a woman at the gym.
You already know what she is passionate about, or at least what she likes to do to not look like a sumo wrestler. She also knows that hitting the gyms is an activity that you also enjoy.
Now that you know one thing that you both like, connecting with her is a piece of cake.
In case you are obsessed with your body and you spend more time at the gym than in your own apartment, you can start a fun conversation about how she has to show you how to work out properly. In case your biceps are bigger than her boobs she’ll know that you are joking. It’s a fun way to get things going.
In case you still don’t know if your muscles are just hiding under your skin or if you were born without any, you can ask her for some tips. If she is at least slightly attracted to you (remember, not being muscular is NOT a K.O criteria) she will gladly help you with your workout and with putting her number in your phone.
Summed Up Wisdom
If you want to learn how to pick up girls at the gym you have to understand that there are actually girls who just wait to get approached during their workout. The stretchable hunter is single and horny, the divorced treadmill addict relives her youth and the whale with potential is like a producer durable good.
Just don’t make the same mistakes as many other guys make by creeping her out with gazing, small talk and following her wherever she goes. Playing the numbers game and joining a Zumba class are also not the best ways to pick up girls at the gym.
Instead of getting intimidated by the steroid monsters around you, you should rather focus your energy on being socially intelligent and approaching her without 30 witnesses. No matter if you wait until she leaves the gym or if you approach her during her workout, make sure that you don’t compliment her on her deliciously looking ass. After you have told her that you are impressed that she lifts more than Dwayne the Rock Johnson, you can connect with her through your passion.
Hey Ricky,
I offer Skype coaching for these scenarios 😉
Spot this girl in the gym and I messaged her in Facebook , she replied and our conversation flow naturally she was laughing and all.
But when I meet her at the gym the next day she was ignoring me. I mean why?
After couple of days I text her again she replied and again we were talking really good.
But when I saw her again at the gym. She acts like she doesn’t know me.
Any suggestions.?
It’s not the best place to pick up girls but it’s definitely not impossible.
i’ve always assumed that the gym wasn’t a good place to pick up girls. they have their headphones in and many of them just LOOK like they don’t want to be bothered.
however, after reading this article, i’m starting to re-consider things. i go to the gym about 5 to 6 times a week, so i have plenty of opportunities to try this.
just the other day, i saw this very cute hispanic girl (latinas are my favorite) who was running on a treadmill that was very close to the one i was on. i SO wanted to talk to her, and i really should have because there weren’t many other people around, so it was the perfect opportunity to speak to her. but i cracked under the pressure and didn’t say a word to her. 🙁 ……and because i go to the gym so often, this is a girl i’ve seen more than once.
i really like your suggestion about waiting until she’s about to leave the gym and THEN approach her. i think i’m gonna give that a try the next time i see a girl at the gym i’m interested in.
Thanks for your additional tips!
There are a few places that you are going to meet women of all ages, and many singles. One of the locales is the gym. If you have joined a gym, then you will no doubt see a lot of women come and go.
The first thing that you need to do is simple, look around for women that may be single and looking. This can be done by simply watching for anyone that makes contact with you. Always smile, and look for the same signs you would in a bar.
If you see someone that you seem that you would love to talk to, don’t interrupt their workout. Instead, wait for a break in the action and then absolutely change things up. Waiting for a break is going to allow you to catch up with them for a moment. You’ll need to have an ice breaker ready, and you’ll need to casually chat them up if they are even interested.
Make sure that you compliment them. Compliment their workout, and regimen, and then ask them out. You can start a conversation by simply being impressed with their effort. You may even offer a quick muscle toning tip afterwards. It’s a good ice breaker.
