As I frequently visit the gym and even work at one, I have a fair bit of experience with this one. First, do not interupt people in the middle of working out (ie on a cardio machine, in the middle of a set etc.). With that said the usual light eye contact and smile should be all that you need to feel out if someone is interested in socializing at the gym. Second, keep conversation short and sweet, because people are there to workout and it is rather annoying to be kept from doing so. You should try a group fitness class such as spinning, that way you can interact with people before and/or after the class starts. As far as topics, keep it straightforward and not too agressive, and please don't come over and try to correct someone's workout or form as that will only enrage the person you are approaching. Ask questions like, how long have you been going here, have you taken a class from this instructor before, etc. If you feel the sparks fly between you and a fellow gym goer ask to do something low key and brief like going for a cup of coffe or better yet a smoothie. Most importantly, try to look for new friends at the gym that way they can introduce you to a possible interest. Hope this helps.

Sure.. Just dont' bother them while they are lifting or running on a treadmill.. Maybe in between sets you could ask them a training question or comment on their form.. Just be polite and take it slow.. It takes time to build relationships..coming on too strong will be a turnoff.. Dont' be compulsive. If you ask for a date.. maybe coffee or something simple, but not a dinner the first day. Take some time to establish a trust of friendship.. You will have one thing in common.. Taking care of your heath.. and that's a positive!

Go with a guy friend. My second real boyfriend approached me at the gym, he was really hot, and it was a pretty good relationship while it lasted. He was outgoing, though.

Don't assume anyone is out of your league and go from there.
Good self-esteem is a big part of meeting people.

It's totally up to you, but I'd avoid anyone that eats gyms.
