That's Greek to me

I've been working out at the gym almost every single night after work since I started my new job. Being a company full of engineers, there are mostly guys in the gym every day, with few women usually 2-3.

Yesterday, an new, unusually attractive girl was working out, who hadn't been there before (at least when I am there). Today, she was there again, and 2 regulars who weren't there yesterday noticed her as well. I say noticed her for this reason:

They pretty much work out the same time I do, but usually for a longer time (one of them plays hockey, and can do the entire stack on the leg machine with one leg...). They are both about my age, and happen to be of Greek heritage, I knew one was from his name, but didn't know the other guys last name to be sure till today. Since November, I've never heard them speak a word of Greek to each other in the gym. Today, one was working out when the other walked in, and he fired off something quick in Greek to the other guy, then smiled, and looked at the girl who was on one of the exercise bikes, listening to music and oblivous to them. They then said a few more things in Greek all while casting glances at her.

I really need to learn a foreign language so I can talk about people right in front of them!

On the down side, I think everyone noticing her scared her away :/ She hasn't been back since.
