I just got ghosted by the girl I was talking to, I want to find another girl to talk to. This girl and I met at the gym, but I don't want to be the guy that goes to the gym just to meet girls. I mean sure there's the bar and Tinder, but I want a real relationship. I mean, I guess it'll come to me.

It’s fine to meet someone at the gym, in fact it’s a good way to select for someone with an interest in fitness.

Going to the gym for the purpose of meeting someone means you’d be hitting on someone who’s trying to work out, which makes it easier to be an accidental creep.

yes that's what I was hinting at for the OP. If you go thinking you are going to hit on women, that's bad. If you go worried that you'll be creepy, that's a confidence issue. If you go and think hey, maybe tonight I'll see someone, then that's healthy
