I was reminded of one this morning actually.
When I first started going to this gym there was a VERY cute girl there and a budding figure competitor. (She competed once, I struck out, and she ended up marrying a guy she met at the same gym at the same time, great for my confidence.) Her dad also trained there, scary-ass ex-Raiders LB, and I guess he was dating this woman at the time? Anyway, before I left that gym to train elsewhere I eventually talked to this woman who was prepping for the local WPD show and kinda copped a feel of her arms when she did a small flex for me. She wasn't thrilled about that I assume, but I never saw her again after that.
Until today, lmao. I've since returned to that gym and have been minding my business, but she walked in while I was finishing up and I'm pretty sure recognized me.

If anyone cares, as a woman, I can tell you that this doesn't work quite well ) There are a few easy tricks actually, which let you start a conversation and realise where you standing in terms of your chances, to begin with.
Depends on your actual physical shape as well, but you can always compensate for that with your charisma unless you are clearly unfit.
p/s you will be surprised how many woman who compete are actually single, and open-minded about their relationships ; )

What are these easy tricks? I've tried making eye contact and smiling in acknowledgement with a regular. When I got acknowledgement back, I'd then proceed to work in with them on a machine or close enough to start a convo, but they always have their headphones in, focused on their phone, etc. Which basically tells me they're not interested in talking.

I know, hence why I put the sarcasm tag at the end.
usually if i see someone at the gym i'll either drop them a compliment in passing or (if the situation warrants) i'll ask to work in with them.
unfortunately i think a lot of women (in general but especially in a gym) are rash to think that any guy approaching them for any reason is hitting on them.
since i've returned to this gym I have talked to three women:
one woman i complimented her squats because they were GREAT squats (she hasn't been seen for two weeks, i suspect due to the gyms ongoing renovations that are making everyone a little mad)
one woman I talked to last week, another compliment but she answered like we didn't even speak the same language, though I see her being fairly chatty with other people/guys at times
the last woman i just asked to work into sets with her on a machine because I was short on time and wanted to get this particular one out of the way. other than telling which weight to put on I didn't really make conversation (turns out that she has a bf that trains with her sometimes so not a big deal, although I wasn't hitting on her anyways).
admittedly, i'm an average-looking guy on my best day, and not very approachable on most days. But i definitely see guys talking to women around the gym for whatever reason all the time, and i definitely see women going up to guys around the gym (all who i perceive as better looking than me) all the time.
meanwhile, I've chatted off-handedly with 5-7 random dudes, usually either asking to work in with me or ask for a spot/provide a spot, and (very rarely) bullshit.
**Note: I will say there are a lot of women there that WORK. when I first went to that gym 10 years ago there were not nearly as many women weight training, doing your pretty typical bodybuilding stuff, running 5x5 for power lifts. I ain't taking that away from them.
I've actually almost started to write a guide (from a women's perspective) but then I've realised it's too much to mention, so not sure if that is needed.
I guess the most important points are:
If you are really curious about someone in your gym, you can always approach them and offer some help or even better ask for some help. Pretty quickly you would realise if this is a nice person or not (most of the time, minus moody days).
You would be pretty surprised, but I witnessed pretty well known (in this industry) girls, who were approached by some people asking for help and they just helped them with a few machines or techniques etc. Then it's on you and your charisma. If you will approach someone who does it professionally, you can even ask them for private lessons (as an option) etc.
Or they will tell you fuck off, and you know you don't even need to think about it again lol Girls with that attitude are not that nice to chat with anyway.
But in general, the gym is not the best place to meet girls who do more serious work, but quite a nice place to approach girls who just trying to get in shape (actually).
p/s no better place to meet fbb girls than after-party on related events, when alcohol is involved. Even I ended up in bed with quite a few girls, sometimes against my will lol (not sure if the fact that I am a woman helped or not). But this is how I ended up getting this (almost) addiction to a certain type of body type, which I find just extremely hot and addictive. They are actually quite nice people as well, well at least 60% I would say, sometimes hormones and steroids get better of them : (
I work at Disney World, not gonna say where, but I was outside the ride I work at and there was this woman that was standing right across from me. She was short, as in couldn’t have been more than 5’2 max, but she was stout with powerful looking muscles. Her short legs were bursting with huge quads and she had a powerful core and big short arms. She wasn’t cut by any means, but there was no denying it, this woman was jacked! I made some small talk with her but since I was working I didn’t think it would be appropriate for me to mention her muscles. I was tempted to asked if she competed in bodybuilding or CrossFit, but I didn’t get the chance. She did ask me where the best place to get some Star Wars merch was and I told her, but that’s the last I saw of her for the rest of the day. In any case I’ve seen some very muscular women at the parks and I’ve even met some professional female bodybuilders when there have been shows in Orlando.
When at the gym, I see a woman who might be a FBB. After she does her workout, I would ask if she is a Personal Trainer and has trained others for the contest competition. This is the real ice breaker to start a conversation with some of them. If possible, hire a FBB as your personal trainer as this might be the best way to get in contract with other female athletes with muscle.
Was at the gym today and a girl, I’m assuming about my age (32), walked up started leg extensions right in front of me. I was on the leg press. She had a kinda cute face, blonde, about 5’4” or so. But she was absolutely ripped. Not huge, but obviously muscular and very conditioned. Like she was about to compete in figure basically. We’ll obviously I looked. Definitely not a creeper about this stuff but all girls know guys take a look. Well she sees me take a glance and then I just get right into my next set and she just stares at me smiling. In my head I’m just thinking about what I’d do with her muscles. Unfortunately, I’m married so I’m not doing anything with her. For the rest of my workout she kinda followed me around, just smiling and stuff, then tried to make small talk at the end. I had to get moving though. I’m sure I’ll see her in there more and will definitely make a comment about her possibly competing or something. Obviously nothing is going to happen but I wouldn’t mind seeing a good flex or something. Or even finally getting and workout buddy that will train hard with me. My wife used to but our schedules are opposite.
I encountered Denise Rutowski at a WWF Houseshow back in the mid 90s. I remember seeing her after the event was over and she was with a group of kids leaving.
One I remember at a Coffee Bean.
A few at my old gym, a few at my old LA Fitness including workout with Victoria Dominguez who I was introduced to her by her then bf (they closed it down). Another one I would do pullups with or film for her on her phone as she did her workout.
I used to walk past Brenda Smith in Redondo Beach while I went bodyboarding. I would smile and say hi. I would see her surfing with another girl and sometimes parked next to her van.
Of coarse seeing a buch at the L.A. FitExpo.
Aleesha Young lifts at my gym. So unreal seeing her up close on a semi-regular basis. She once actually spoke to me, asked if I was done using a squat rack. Will never forget it. haha
God that's amazing. Must be surreal seeing her when she's in competition shape, crushing it at the gym. Is she as huge in person as she appears in pics and videos?
I've seen Alicia Bell a few times at my regular gym both in off season and competition shape. Those delts were a sight to behold when she was ripped. And when she had that off season thickness she looked like she could take down a tank.
During my freshman year of wrestling in high school, I wrestled at 126 pounds, I was extremely scrawny and weak at the time, having just started. And I had to wrestle this girl who was a senior and the captain of her team, in order to qualify for a tournament. She was shorter than me but much more muscular. Big arms, with bicep veins and visible triceps, tight abs, huge legs, and big shoulders. When the march started she easily manhandled me, I was overpowered as soon as the match began, and she was able to drive me back. She played with me, wherever she wanted my body to go was where it would go. I could not budge her arms at all, but I felt her biceps and they were so solid it was amazing and terrifying. She eventually hit a blast double leg takedown and drove me to the mat. I wiggled around trying to get free but she had me. I remember feeling her arms wrap around my head and in between my legs as she put me into a cradle and pinned me in the first period. The whole match was over in less than a minute. When we got up she shook my hand and even flexed for her home crowd and her biceps were very big. Everyone laughed at me and I was so embarrassed but at the same time I felt so excited that I had just been so easily dominated by a muscular girl. It was incredible. I’ll never forget that feeling.
I am a big guy like 6 foot 200 pounds, been lifting heavy for years. Have always been the big muscular at my gym. This fbb pro showed up, she was probably like 5-6 and took off her pump cover. Her back and shoulders were way broader than mine, her arms were absolutely ripped and way bigger than mine. I was doing triceps extensions and she walled by just carrying weights and her arms were way bigger and more defined than mine flexing on the extension. I hopped on the treadmill to try to burn off some calories and she started doing a full flex routine for her friend who arrived, she just looked so much bigger and more ripped than I could ever dream of. She made everyone look fat or scrawny.

That sounds both awesome and humiliating
It was. In the moment I was so conflicted, I didn’t know how to feel, but looking back it is awesome lol. I got to live out a fantasy. I do think I could have put up more of a fight, but chose not to because it was awesome being dominated like that. Even if I did try my hardest she still would have pinned me tho, I could tell from the moment she grabbed me how outmatched I was.>

Have you spoken to her since? It would be cool to hear her tell you how easy it was
Had one this morning at the Atlanta airport. Was standing in line at TSA and there was a group of three college age blondes in front of me. They all appeared to be in pretty good shape but one had a noticeable sweep in her quads. When they got up to the X Ray they had to take their jackets off and the one girl was in a sports bra and running shorts. Holy cow she was ripped!!! Veins on her biceps, boulder shoulders, traps, and a solid six pack. She didn't quite look contest ready but it probably wouldn't take three weeks for her to be VERY competitive on the figure stage. Unfortunately I couldn't get close enough to chat her up.
