You notice a girl who looks really fit and you want to say something nice. Sounds simple, right? It's a little more complicated than that. Women don't want to feel objectified so complimenting her efforts is better than commenting on her appearance. Fortunately, it's not so hard to do this. Check out our step-by-step suggestions for approaching and complimenting a girl.
Steps
Common Questions: Delivering Fitness Compliments
How do you compliment a girl at the gym?
Try setting up near her during a fitness class to give you a common experience to talk about. Strike up some small talk and give her a compliment she doesn’t necessarily have to respond to, like “You really killed it during that superset.” Don’t comment on her physical appearance.

What are good fitness-related compliments for a girl's picture?
Steer clear of body compliments and post something related to her progress or hard work. Try something like “You look stronger every time you post!” or “I see you’re grabbing even heavier weights these days.” These are more memorable and flattering than generic praise for her appearance.
What does it mean when someone says “you look fit?”
Usually, “you look fit” is intended to compliment your gym progress or athletic skill and be a neutral comment on your appearance. However, some people find this compliment problematic because it’s still a body-based complement. It may also perpetuate unhealthy behaviors that lead to a “fit” look. [10] X Research source
