I see a ton of hot people when I go to the bathroom at work every day. I wonder if I can take any of the creative suggestions made in this thread, on how to approach them best, while they're taking care of business.
I think your comments apply to all environments of dating, no? Start out something simple and casual - escalate if you feel chemistry/attraction. The headphones is the big thing that makes it tough for me though in this case. I hate to make someone feel uncomfortable
It's a catch 22 though. You don't want to make them feel comfortable but then again, it's very hard to find women like that (IE share the same lifestyle) outside of the gym
That's why I'm trying to point out to you that asking to work in a couple of sets was the perfect opportunity to say something else as well. I'm not talking about saying something like, "Do you mind if I work in a couple of sets - you have a nice ass." I mean like saying something when you are trading off, "I dig this song." Or "I'm sooo tired but I'm making myself do this!" Now - those were just 2 things that I came up with off the top of my head - please don't think I'm telling you that those are great things to say and that you should use them. I'm just trying to give you an example of the simple, mundane type of things I'm suggesting as a way to see if she is open to a bit more conversation. This way, you haven't made her feel uncomfortable, you haven't interrupted her work out, and you haven't "hit" on her. But, if she's nice and friendly - it might lead to a longer conversation the next time you see her. Which might lead to something further on down the line.

Oh wait, they're there to use the bathroom.
I don't think that's a valid analogy cause it's only members of your own sex going to the same bathroom
I always see these beautiful women at my gym who are working out in the weights area/machine area (generally with headphones on). Is it even worth the effort to approach them or is it nearly impossible to succeed in that setting? How do you get around the headphones issue??
I ask this because I've been working out seriously with weights since I was 14 so I would absolutely love to meet a fitness girl but they are hard to find outside of the gym
If you want to talk to them, then do so. When I go to the gym, I go there to workout only.

I'll forgive you, for all of the same-sex equal-opportunity gym stalkers out there that you just blithely insulted, without even probably realizing it.
But getting back on topic: going to the gym for me is sacred. It's me time. It's working on me, bettering me, challenging me, dripping with sweat me, exhausting me, and rewarding me. The "one" thing that is going to completely kill that me time, would be some little guy off to the side, trying desperately to catch my eye and get my attention so he can try a smile or a line on me, during my me time, while trying to keep up with me. I'd find another gym, where I can keep to myself, while I'm working on myself. Where people can appreciate when not to cross the line of common courtesy.

If you want to meet athletic women in a social environment, why don't you join a running club or a boot camp or something like that that is more oriented to a group dynamic?

You don't think it's a good idea to try to create something on the spot if you feel good enough chemistry?
The thing is, just because you think a girl is "hot" doesn't mean she does. Lots of attractive women are very insecure about their own looks and don't think they're all that attractive.

[OP's excuse to follow]
What I am really attracted to is female bodybuilders who are feminine/natural/pretty (if it's hard to imagine, look up Jaime Koeppe or Juliana Salimeni). I don't know if I would be any more attracted to the types who would be in a running club or boot camp than the regular women I see at a bar
