The place is hot and steamy, pulsing with the beat of blaring music and gyrating bodies. You see her working it across the crowded floor, and you have to meet her. A brilliant idea: you’ll buy her a drink. But wait a second – that only works in night clubs, and you’re at a health club. So while you could send a 20 oz. Tropical Xtremo Gatorade her way, that probably won’t produce the intended result, no matter how important it is to replenish fluids during strenuous exercise. What do you do?
Gyms notoriously attract eye-catching people. There’s no greater concentration of sinewy muscles and tight, skimpy clothing anywhere… except maybe the adult thriller section of your local Blockbuster Video. Let’s face it, even the most average-looking gym-goer is fit and healthy, or at least will be in a few months. But while fitness clubs are a veritable bakery of available beefcakes and beefcakettes, they can actually be rather tricky places to meet people. Gyms are often chock full of cheesy pick-up artists with sleazy come-ons, or, on the other side, designer gear-wearing posers who walk around a whole lot and manage to lift very little.
But there has to be some way for normal people to meet other normal people at the gym, right? The simple answer is yes, but not without keeping several things in mind – especially if your idea of a good opening line is something like “Nice shoes, wanna french?”
Listen up, all you muscle-bound Casanovas out there: no matter how eager you are to begin the mating… er, dating process, you’ve got to scope out the scene. Some gyms are as flirty as all-you-can drink “body shot nite” at Club Med. Others, well, you’d probably have better luck cruising a Buddhist monastery. Look around. Are people talking… with each other… and not asking whether they can “work-in”? If that’s the case, fire up conversations at will (we’ll cover what to say shortly). But if the atmosphere is more businesslike, it’s probably best to keep minding your own. Unsolicited banter, no matter how witty, can stick out worse than a left elbow during assisted tricep dips.
Next, and most importantly: you can check someone out, just don’t freak them out. It’s one thing to sneak a peek while she’s sprawled on the stretching mat, but quite another to train your penetrating gaze on her (no matter how amazing her side crunch technique might be). Among the women I’ve spoken to, the consensus is clear. One or two quick glances, and maybe even a little smile, are flattering; prolonged staring, drooling, or high-fiving your equally lecherous friends, is not. Of course, even the strongest exhibit occasional weakness – if you absolutely can’t help it, use the gym’s mirrors for a far less detectable stare. (This technique can also give you a better view of, shall we say, the traditionally hidden parts of an alluring physique.)
You’ve spotted someone on the lat machine, you’ve used the mirror, and you like what you see. You’re ready to make your move, right? Hold on there, tough guy. The next step is recognizing her receptiveness. Just as exercise is a social experience, it can also be solitary and serious. Some people just want to get in and get out as quickly as possible. This is especially true at gyms where members squeeze workouts into hectic appointment schedules, or even before the workday begins. People probably aren’t looking for romance in the midst of the daily grind, and while your hormones might be awake at 6:00 a.m., it’s unlikely that someone who gets up while it’s still dark wants to meet anyone, aside from the coffee stand guy.
Same can be said of those who hit the gym after work – chances are they just want to exercise, go home, and eat a salad. If some meathead wearing zebra-print Zubaz pants impedes that progress, do you think he’ll get that number (the real one)? She might have caught your eye, but you can’t assume the feeling is mutual unless she sees you and smiles back. Even then, wait an extra minute, just to make sure she’s not there with her championship kick-boxer boyfriend, who’d be more than happy to use your face as a leather focus mitt.
When it comes to opening lines, we all have our stand-bys. But at the gym, inspired pick-ups like “Sagittarius, right?,” “I’m on the football team,” and “please don’t call the cops” might not work as well. True, women’s reactions vary, depending largely on delivery, making it tough to say what to say. But there are definitely techniques to avoid. Worst offender? The old “let me show you how to do that” maneuver. We’ve all seen this move in action, and might even be guilty of trying it (listen up, personal trainers). There’s nothing wrong with correcting someone’s form – unless it’s used as a pretext to ogle her body at close range, or, worse, place an “instructive” hand on it.
Most men don’t mind a stranger’s touch (and probably fantasize about it), but women like it about as much as filthy bathrooms, back hair, and spitting contests. Here’s something else they hate: guys who comment on how stretchy they are. Yes, women are flexible, and flexibility is awesome – just ask Emoke Ritter, world-famous Hungarian contortionist (you’ve never heard of her?). Women understand they can bend in ways that stir the male imagination – spare yourself the embarrassment of mentioning it.
The last thing a woman wants to hear from a stranger, unless you’re Leonardo DiCaprio, is “boy are you flexible.” Same goes for “great muscle tone,” “killer pecs,” or “nice ass.” Keep the focus off her body, at least out loud. Instead, comment on the book she’s reading or the music she’s listening to. Or simply ask what her name is. Talk a little. Work out a little. Established a rapport first, then you can show her the right way to do a shoulder press. Better yet, let her show you.

Unfortunately, one of the most talked about things in professional sports today is steroids. Almost everybody has seen the controversies on the news, about Congress addressing athletes (mainly baseball players) in regards to their use of steroids and other performance enhancing drugs. However, use of the substances is not just in the major league of America’s favorite pastime, but in most other sports as well. In fact, many casual gym goers will admit to knowing people who are on steroids and the people selling could be hiding out behind the fitness elliptical equipment, gym fitness equipment, or other workout equipment. The most recent controversy over steroids revolves around a doctor from Canada who has recently been caught and arrested selling supplements that are illegal in the United States but legal in his native Canada. As is common knowledge amongst anyone who watches ESPN on a semi regular basis, this doctor has been found out to have treated big name athletes all across the country, including Tiger Woods.
Despite their being in the news on a fairly regular basis, lots of people still are not actually aware of what steroids are and exactly what they do, and the answer varies based on what type of substance is used. The most common type of steroid is known as an anabolic steroid and is used to increase testosterone in the body. This testosterone is then used to increase protein within the cells and through this increase, builds muscles. While typically mentioned in reference to athletes being caught using them, there are legitimate medical uses for anabolic steroids as they are only illegal if there is not a prescription from a doctor for the person using them. However, not all steroids simply aid in building muscles. For example, without naming them for the sake of going into too much detail, there are certain steroids that are used to aid in recovery and increase cardio in their users.
Baseball is the sport that has been hurt the most by the steroid scandals. Many, many big time players from the past few decades have either been honest with authorities about using them, or lied about it and then gotten caught later on. Some of the more famous of the players to have been caught using the substances include Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa, both of the participants in the famous race to break the single season home run record from about a decade ago or so.
Another sport that has been hit hard by the use of performance enhancing drugs is the sport of track and field. Most recently, former Olympic gold medalist Marion Jones was found out to have used and ended up serving time in a federal prison for her troubles.
The big question for the sports world in the future is what to do about controversies over performance enhancing drugs. Some of the more cynical in society would suggest that most athletes at the professional level are using them anyway so they should simply be made legal. Others argue that there should be steroid users and natural competitors in every sport, following in the model of weightlifting competitions. Without doubt, sport in the future near and far will be heavily influenced by steroids.
