Cell phones in the gym

**Zapp** · 07-29-2005, 06:44 PM

If I hear one more cell phone go off while I'm working out, I'm gonna explode! It seems like everytime I'm in the gym it happens....I'll be doing a set, pushing myself and there it goes.....cell phones ringing. People leave them on the juice bar, or have them clipped on while working out. What has this world come to? Give me a break!

haha thats funny I think I wrote this exact same thread a while back. I'm with you bro, it seems like you have need to talk on your phone you really don't care that much about lifting.

haha, I hate that. That, and people wearing sandals and jeans. I'm 18, and I got these cocky-ass, ugly 21 year old college kids acting like they're Mr. Olympia strutting around when they're less than half my size. I'm gonna open my own private gym for hardcore lifters someday.

Take 1 ipod mini

Put on earphones

Put volume at top setting

Voila... no more cell phone noises, retards yapping non stop or cheezy gym muzak...

Bonus... tunes like "Come in hard", "killing in the name of" or "This is the new shit" gives ya that little extra push when lifting heavy...

I second this. My mp3 is so loud, that I can not hear the person next to me.
In between sets i'll see people on there cells, but as long as I don't hear their sh*t, I'm fine.

**nj123** · 07-29-2005, 11:55 PM

i bring my cell phone to the gym, dont see a problem with answering the phone for maybe a 10 second talk in between sets?

ROFLMFAO.
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Hey, it's better than spandex nut huggers and pink tank tops.

**Tazwell** · 07-30-2005, 02:06 AM

yea yea, i agrea..
but sometimes you gotta take your cell phone.. i can leave work whenever i want, as long as it's reasonable.. i'll just tell someone, i'm going to the gym call me if you need anything.. for me it's the other way around.. i hate talking on my phone at the gym, cuz people around me like to listen in..

**scriptfactory** · 07-30-2005, 02:25 AM

Sometimes a cell is necessary. I don't see anything wrong with using your cell phone in a gym. It's not like a movie theater. It's not like a library. A gym is a loud place and if people want to talk on their cell then what do any of you have to say about it? Is it disturbing your workout?! LOL!

When I go to a gym I go to workout, not look or listen to the people around me...

I see absolutely nothing wrong with using your cell phone in the gym. I need mine for work and have it all the time. Its seldom I'd get through a workout without some calls. Only time its switched off is in Judo or Vale Tudo training, but if I know there's a very important call coming its left on and I take the call.

Oh man... a cellphone in the dojo...

That would have been a one way ticket out at my dojo, Sensei considered cellphones in his dojo about as disrespectfull as walking on the tatami with your muddy boots

Personally my phone stays in the locker... to me nothing is so urgent that it can't wait an hour or so. Voice mail was invented for a reason

**decadbal** · 07-30-2005, 05:18 PM

You guys have all kind of excuses for carrying your cell phones in the gym. What a joke! Wow you guys must be very important....yeah right.

That would make me snap, if you gotta take a call allright, dont be a 12 year old girl and talk on and on.

**eGGz** · 08-01-2005, 02:49 PM

There was this jerkoff on the leg press the other day yapping on his cell phone while doing his set. He had on way too many plates for his ability and he was literally moving the sled about 2 or 3 inches. He never got out of breath or was even straining at all. He also had 2 or 3 gold chains around his neck, cap on sideways and looked like he was in his street clothes.
