If you’re struggling to pull, you might want to think about taking your cheesy chat up lines to your next fitness class.

Because apparently, people have an almost 100% success rate when they try and chirps at the gym.

Why masturbating before bed helps you sleep

A new survey of 1,000 people by EllipticalReviews.com has found that gym-goers are pros at turning flirting into dates, sex or relationships.

21% of men and 43% of women say they’ve-been hit on at the gym.

Unsurprisingly, 71% of the men interviews admitted to staring at other people at the gym, compared to just half of women – and those who actually go up and say hello are usually those who are most dedicated to #gainslife.



Those who drink protein shakes are apparently over twice as likely to hit on someone than those who don’t think them, as are those who take supplements and take regular selfies.

But if you think these people are only interested in women clad in tight clothing, think again.

They’re just as likely to chat up women in joggers and t-shirts as they are yoga pants and shorts. And men are more likely to be flirted with wearing hoodies and tank tops.

What people don’t like, however, is people making physical contact.

45% of women and 11% of men claimed that it’s made them feel uncomfortable when someone other than a trainer has tried to make physical contact with them.

So if you’re thinking of showing your crush how to use a machine by standing behind them and helping them bend, don’t. In the gym, as in real life, no one likes a stranger’s paws on them.
