There has to be a better place to meet girls.

See, I'd agree with you, except I'm there a lot. Some friendly smiles do take place. You obviously might meet someone with something in common, and why not? If you are slightly sweaty, or with a tinge of smell, they're probably in the same situation.
There's gotta be a way in which it's appropriate, or that it can be done without being annoying, intrusive, or interrupting.
Just a quick hello, or something.. Then if it goes well, maybe chat a few times, then see where that could lead.
I agree about people yakking away for endless amounts of time monopolizing equipment though.
With talking to someone at the gym, if things are going poorly, you've got a good out.. "okay, well I should get back to work, I'll talk to you later"
