Second, there's a huge difference in the environments of a singles bar on a Saturday night, where it's a reasonable assumption that most patrons are looking to meet a potential romantic partner*, and a gym where most patrons are just looking to mind their own business while they get a workout in peace.

*Once again, that doesn't mean creepy behaviour or harassment is at all acceptable even at a bar or nightclub.
There is zero evidence that women are sexually harassed at the gym more than any other setting. I would like to see a study of some sort because I go to the gym and I am failing to see all the harassment the guys in this thread are talking about.

You will see a few guys hit on girls from time to time, but that doesn't mean it is sexual harassment and it isn't really prevalent.
