How To Approach Women At The Gym
The guys at my gym are always asking me how I managed to hook up with «Anna Kournikova.»
No, I didn’t actually hook up with that Russian tennis player who is also a worldwide sex symbol. But there WAS a girl at my gym who looked JUST like her — so much so that we all called her her (behind her back) by that nickname.
And all the guys at the gym desperately wanted her. This girl was incredibly hot, and she was Russian, too (with seductive accent). She would come to the gym wearing tiny spandex shorts that revealed a world-class ass, and a skin-tight top that showed off breasts that were so unbelievably perfect that we all assumed she had implants.
(As found out later, this beauty was 100% natural…)
So let me explain how I got this girl, and give some tips on how to approach women at the gym…
The average guy doesn’t have any idea how to approach women at the gym — and so he doesn’t even attempt. They think it would be creepy, or awkward, to approach a woman at the gym while she’s in the middle of a workout, or cooling down and getting ready to leave. They think she’s in her own «zone,» focused on her workout, and not in the mood to have some random guy walk up and start talking to her.
The funny (and ironic) thing is that nearly all of the men in the gym are there because they want to make themselves more appealing to girls! They’re working out and trying to get in better shape because they want to catch the attention of women.

And yet, when they’re actually at the gym, they think the women there are somehow «off bounds.»
Gyms are really an excellent environment to approach women, for quite a few reasons. One reason is that when we work out, our brains release endorphins — the «pleasure» chemical. Women who are enjoying a good workout are literally buzzing as their brains are flooded with endorphins. This makes them the opposite of a woman in a bar who is «on guard» and acting defensive and suspicious when guys try to come close to her.
Now, if there’s a hottie at your gym that you want to approach, wait until she’s deep into her workout session. Don’t try to talk to her when she first shows up, or when climbs on the treadmill five minutes after showing up.
Let her work up a sweat. Allow her brain start firing off those endorphins! Technically, she’s actually feeling a bit «high» at this stage!
And if she’s been working out hard and could use a break, she’ll welcome the opportunity to take a break and talk to you. (IF you approach the right way, of course.)
So here’s the gym approach that I used with Anna (as she was doing her stretches after a hard workout, causing every guy in the gym to stop and stare):
«Hey, let me ask you something real quick. It looks like you you keep in good shape, and my friend Mandy just had a baby — I’m the baby’s godfather, and he is soooo adorable — and anyway, Jennifer really wants to get back in shape and lose the weight she gained from her pregnancy. Do you know any trainers you can recommend? Or maybe some exercise classes?»
This form of gym approach can work well for a few reasons. First, I did not ask permission. I didn’t say, «Excuse me, do you mind if I ask you something?» Don’t ever ask a girl permission to talk to her. ouWhen you ask permission, you give her a chance to say «no.» Instead, jump right into your question.
Second, I mentioned how I am the godfather to my friend Jennifer’s adorable baby. As a woman, I’m pushing some of her emotional buttons. If I’m a «godfather» to an infant, then I must be a sensitive, loving, protective guy.
Third, I presented a specific QUESTION that is uncomplicated for her to respond to. She’s a sexy, in-shape girl who works out a lot. She’s obviously knowledgable about exercise, and will be flattered that I am coming to her for her expertise. So she starts sharing her knowledge and telling me the best way to get my friend Jennifer back in shape…
From that point, now that I’m «in the door,» I will use the right conversation tactics to BRIDGE to other cool subjects that help me form a connection with her.
We spent 45 minutes chatting and flirting, then I used a «stealth» move to score her phone number and recommend a place for us to meet on Friday night, and the rest is history.

dopping? NO
DOPING? YES
And considering that Maria Sharapova is 6’2″ and has a 36″ reach and her body is 130 lbs of lean muscle, I believe that she can accomplish her speeds naturally. (and look mighty good doing it at the same time).
Just because you can’t envision it doesn’t assure that there MUST be some form of doping happening.
I agree with you and i do think lots of women tennis players do dop cuz winning now for them is how powerfull u could hit the ball & i believe Maria Sharapova & her Mad father would do whaterver to win.
Correction, she is 6 3″ & not 6 2″ & weights 142 lb & i believe she does dop ,but she will never be tested cuz tennis organizers need her to continue playing cuz she makes them lots of money.
I believe those who participate in Olympic tournaments already are under the doping regulations. I’m sure some form of testing is done in the professional circuit as well. The issue is certainly less dominant in female sports, largely because the public perception isn’t as strong as it is with men. The media likes to focus on things where the $ takes are higher…
I do think you have a case for argument.
I’m pretty sure they are tested; a few yrs ago, Sesil Karatantcheva was banned from the tour for drug use.
First of all… What the heck is dopping? I’m going to assume that you mean DOPING. They are tested for doping, the practice of using steroids… the WIlliams aren’t russian… And they don’t have that good power either. Mauresmo hits harder than they do.
The continuing study of the mechanics of the strokes of the game are the #1 reason for the power increase on both tours. #2 reason is the size of the athletes. The current women’s pros dwarf their predecessors of only a decade ago.
But I will say I’m not certain what the drug testing policies are now, but in recent years, the women were only being tested at the Slams. Well, with that much warning and an extended fall/winter break, it wasn’t difficult for them to clean their systems of any illegal substances by the time the Australian Open came around. You always had a pretty good idea of which of the women were possibly on steroids by watching their physical definition degress from the Australian Open on through the season. If current testing policies are the same, you might watch their physiques change over the next few months.
WTF? They r naturally stong u *****……………..they dont have 2 be artificial to be good…………..
Agassi had probably been tested more than everyone else combined.
They do test women
