Is it worth it to talk to her?

Hi there guys and girls in AFF land! 

If you have a moment to spare and some advice to give, I would appreciate your feedback on this.

So....I've had a crush on this girl at the gym for about a year now.  I first noticed her because she reminded me of a Thai model/actress (for visual, I included a pic below).

Super hot,right?  Anyway, I was thinking if I ever get a chance to talk to her, I was going to ask her if she is Thai.  Playing it out in my head, the conversation would go something like this:

Me:  Excuse me.  This isn't a line or anything, but everytime I see you, you remind me of a Thai actress/model and was curious if you're Thai.

Hot gym girl:  Yes, I am (or) No, I'm not.

Me:  Okay, that was all I wanted to know.  *proceeds to awkwardly walk away*

My question is, should I even bother to talk to her if I'm only going to ask what her ethnicity is?  At this point, I don't really have any intention of asking her out (not even sure if she likes girls) or befriending her in any way.  I feel like if I'm going to make an effort to say something, I might as well go for it and throw caution to the wind.  Haha.  Most days, we're usually at the gym at the same time.  Regardless of what I ask, I'm worried it might be somewhat awkward to see her again since I will no longer be just another face at the gym.

Anyway, this clueless old gay girl would truly appreciate any thoughts or suggestions you may have!  <3

I’d find it an awkward conversation starter. Why don’t you ask her to help her with your work-out?
“I don’t know how to do this?” “Oh hey, do you mind counting for me/look while I lift?” Anything that is related to what you’re doing, not her personally. Get to know her like you would anyone.
Asking ethnicity as a first question is so weird and doesn’t seem very sincere in my opinion. Not like you actually want to get to know her. I know, if someone came up to me, asked me what my nationality is and then left awkwardly again, I would be a little uncomfortable. And I’d feel really weird. (I mean, even when someone just goes “damn, this bus is late, why did we have to be here 15 minutes early??” it’s a thing we have in common and not some personal question).
So - find something else you can have in common. Something that isn’t her identity. And then when you get to know her, ask her if she’s seen one of the actress’ movies and tell her you think they look alike. I’m sure she’ll be flattered.

Haha don't walk away immediately, defend your thoughts, like either you show a picture of the model for reference or start introducing yourself.. Saying "oh, I'm (your name) by the way.. I always notice you here at the gym and was wondering what year or she lives nearby or any thoughts bout having summer body goal that's why you're in a gym" hehehe

P. S is it a gym like with exercise equipment or gym like a court in school?
