I am not creepy at all. Frankly I find them creepy. If you're going to look at me at least smile but looking at me without any expression is creepy.
For all you know they're not even looking at you. If you ask them you're just going to look like an idiot. Then you're going to just have a bunch of people nervous to be near you

Then when I look up they are still looking.
Please post a photo of yourself. I would like to see why every lady is turning their head to look at you walk on by.
Op, are you telling us everything and not leaving out some small details. This just sounds a little odd the more I think about it. I never see that at my gym, then again I don't be watching who is watching me. When you are running on the treadmill, are you running in a full all out gallop style, or a fast paced sprint vs a regular sprint. Anything other than a regular sprint or jog could cause people you stare if they are on the machines right next to you. I ask that because I saw this guy doing this at my gym. I was in the weight room one morning and I started hearing this loud noise coming from treadmill area. It was distracting, so I walked around there to see what was going on. I saw this guy running all out, like he was running for his life and he held that pace for a few minutes. Another guy told me that is how he finish his run every morning by going all out. That made a lot of noise on the treadmill running like that, the guy wasn't making any noticeable loud noise, but the machine was loud as heck.
Fellow gym goer, looking around at other gym goers.
They may have some idle curiosity about you, depending on if that person is "single and looking"
They may not smile because they don't want it to look like they're coming onto you.
They may be studying your routine and want to copy some part of it.
They may just be a b*** attempting to intimidate others with scornful looks and stares.
Oh yeah, last two reasons: They may be h***ny and sizing you up so to speak, or depending on how you look, they may consider you "eye candy"
Since you don't know if ANY of the above is true, let it roll off your back, put it out of your mind and just focus on your workout. If someone is attracted to you, they will work up the courage to either approach you, or act approachable to you.
Focus on your workout and pretty much keeping to yourself, though. There is so much raging egomania sloshing around in the gym, it takes very little for a person to think you're a "perv" or that you're coming onto them.
If you don't like being viewed that way (I don't) keep to yourself somewhat.
Maybe you have some kind of awful gait when you run (in their opinion)
You stink (in their opinion)
You look like a freak (in their opinion)
You walk around thinking highly of yourself and it shows (in their opinion)
They are laughing at you on the inside
They are zoned out
They are trying to see what settings you have your treadmill on
They are just waiting for this to happen so they can catch it on their iphone:
