who are looking
for a new squeeze or
maybe just wanting to
find a new friend? Here
are some tips on how
you could get a date
whilst keeping fit. Hey,
first things first, being at the gym is
already one common thing you would
both have.
People are usually their own best
matchmakers but let’s check out some
tips that offer single people some new
ideas to tweak their routine at the gym,
and who knows, it might lead to a lasting
relationship.
It is known that when you are work-
ing out, you have beta endorphins and
adrenaline pumping in your system.
Studies show that these hormones put
you into a heightened state of attraction
so, the gym is a great spot to meet

Your Match at the Gym
someone.
A good first step is to update your
workout wardrobe. Men are advised
against tank shirts and fluorescent
colours unless you want to give out a
different vibe. And women on the other
hand should put a limit by respecting
their threshold between sexy and vulgar.
Next off, take off your headphones,
start off with a scan through to check
out who’s there and try your best to
look friendly in order to make yourself
approachable. Even the timing that you
go to the gym would influence the kind
of man that you are looking for. While
seeming approachable is important, it’s
up to you to break the ice and this works
for both men and women.
Conversations are just like tennis,
badminton or squash in that someone
has to make the initial serve. There is
actually nothing to lose. Worst case is if
that the other party does not talk to you
and gives you the cold shoulder. Nothing
ventured nothing gained.
People say chivalry is dead but all a
man has got to do is a simple thing like
handing a woman a fresh towel or offer
to carry the dumbbells back to it’s rightful
location. This could brighten up her day
and create an opening for conversation.
The environment is full of props. Use
it to your advantage. It’s as simple as
asking someone in the line at the juice
bar how good is a certain juice or if they’d
have any recommendation. Or better yet,
if you see him or her with a smartwatch
or an app on their mobile phones, you
could talk about that too. If all else fails,
you could always talk about the weather.
Once you’ve gotten them talking,
don’t try to be too quirky or too original.
Don’t get too personal too quickly. Be
yourself and have fun.
