Bro, are you serious?
Turn the treadmill up to 12 and stomp your feet as hard as you can to draw as much attention as possible. Run until you pass out and shoot off the back of the treadmill. If you're really lucky you'll fly into the girl you're interested in. If not though, you're still going to be surrounded by gym chicks when you wake up. Some will think you're an idiot, some will think you're brave, but either way, it's a great ice breaker.

D'oh!!! For years I've been exemplifying this. They are everywhere but you all lack the skills to find and entice them. They want quality, smarts, experience, emotional maturity, everything you lack.... too much of mountain for you.

That's the problem with dweebs and the gym social culture. It's a place to work not lift 10% of the time and ogle women or bullshit for the other 90% like some asocial dysfunctional creep.
If this has to be explained then you're more or less hopeless my dear Watson.
Bars are nighttime handouts and are hit and miss.
Commercial Concerts outdoor are nice for hanging out with people you already know but sanitary conditions are poor.
A smaller social event is best. If you know a few people you can show off your status and bae might consider getting official or having some fun.
But in shape women have to work out. And there are a lot of women who hide their lack of fitness and laziness with makeup and flattering clothes.
Yoga classes are a good bet. But you have to be pretty slim and flexible to make it. Group exercise classes are also good. I never see hot girls repeatedly at a gym. They show up only once in a while. How do they keep in shape?
The best bet is to have thousands of friends.
No one said this would be easy ...
My girlfriend talked me into doing a yoga class as a compromise, which wasn't as terrible as I expected. At least half the women there were amazing. This environment is much less approachable than even the gym (quiet zen and all that bullshit), but it was the mother lode. Maybe if I were single, frequented the place, and hung around the juice bar a connection might spark but I cannot imagine coming in with better than a half-assed plan to start seeing one of these people and having it be successful. But who knows 🙄
Female here. The simple answer is: don't. Women mostly don't want to be approached at the gym. It screws up our workouts and makes us feel uncomfortable. I can't tell you how many men thought correcting my form was an in. I've stopped going to LA Fitness because of certain men.
That being said, take a class with women and don't be a creep. If there is an organic opportunity to strike up a convo before/after class, that's fine, but don't interrupt someone during her workout, ask her some lame question, or act like you have knowledge to drop. Even if she is nice about it, she is rolling her eyes on the inside and complaining about you to her friends when she leaves.
If a woman looks at you and smiles, maybe that would be an okay person to approach, but keep your cool. Ask if you can work in on a machine she is using or something.

Classes are the answer. Yoga and pilates are the best. Spinning might not be a good idea if you are a heavy sweater. Zumba or any of the dancy classes are risky because women will think you are gay, especially if you are good at it.

Negative...if you're into weights and building a muscular body, the weight area is where it's all at. Gals are more friendly in the weight area and a lot of them need spotters, and they love it when you complement them on their technique. A lot of women are getting more into strength training with the weights...and they like guys with big pipes. 💪

Nah...chessy stuff sometimes works. I told a gal one time in the weight room that "I wish they would turn up the AC a little since a hot gal like you just came in."ðŸ‘. She started blushing and got all excited. Also my Arnold impressions have helped, and always casually flex your biceps when talking with the gals...some like that kind of stuff 💪.

Slow motion Stairmaster with extra butt zig-zagging is a sure sign of a winner.
Who needs a gym? In London they have a big pre-internet dating agency called "Serpentine Running Club".

Yes...cheesy - if said with a tone of irony--can be a brilliant out of the box move. The blush is the reaction you want....If you say something like xlev2 suggests and you get no reaction, you can simply move on rather than pining for weeks like Jamin does.

And if you're into impressing women in weight room with different type of poses, these have always worked for me. The pec shaker has been my #1 in getting attention & dates at the gym 😉

Oh yawn....💅ðŸ¼

Are you saying I should cancel plans to leave ejaculate fluid on or near the pec deck?
I'll await your response.

Tight shorts and no underwear. You must look nice and not tacky. I get lots of eye contact and smiles. I regularly get approached first. I learned this from my college roommate who always had a new girl over. I tried it and found out he was right. Just like guys girls like to check out the merchandise with their eyes first.
Real runners don't go to gyms. Hardcore runners embrace the solitude and loneliness of the long distance runner. Eat, sleep, run, and repeat, no time for women.
As a member of the 1%, and by that I mean a female on these boards, I second what many of those above me have said. If I'm at the gym unless I make it VERY clear that I don't mind talking or I'm physically in danger don't try to "pick me up." I'm there to get a workout...

Situations in which to hit on a female at the gym
1) VERY clear that she doesn't mind talking
2) she's physically in danger
