You did perfect. You said it yourself - girls aren’t at the gym to find a date and don’t want to be bothered.
Next time, you have a door to wave, smile and say hi. Leave it at that. Maybe a quick, “How’s it going?” Let it go organic after that. If she’s into you, she’ll reciprocate. Then down the road (months! Not days) you can drop a, “Hey, I was going to grab a smoothie, would you want to join?” Or something like that.
