Meeting guys/girls at the gym

Being a bloke this is obviously aimed more girls but can obviously be reversed. How do girls react to being being talked to by lads in the gym.

I take my gym training very seriously because if i dont then im unlikly to get the job i want, but would always be flattered if a girl came up for a chat to me. However i don't go up to girls in the gym through fear of interupting their sesh, and them not wanting to meet people while they are are working out.

Just looking for some views as since being back home from uni and joinin the local gym have see some girls who i would like to talk to but dont due to the reasons above.

However you could follow them out when they've finished and then talk to them! Then you won't be disturbing their workout. Just try not to do it in a stalker-ish fashion

I like to be on my own when I go to the gym, and I prefer not to have any distractions of people trying to talk to me.

It depends - I mean if I see my friends I would happily have a banter for a few minutes, but if it's a complete stranger then it would probably annoy me a little because I'd want to get on with my workout. But it would depend completely on what you said/were like- I mean if you're nice and informal I'd like a chat, but as long as no definite 'I'm trying to pull'/use cheesy chat up lines.

i think its a way of meeting new people so i would be happy if someone came up to me

then maybe consider just talking about her workout, maybe pointing out how she could do some of her movements differently
