What's your take on mobile phone usage in the gym?
I accept they are part of our everyday lives, but find their usage in the gym to be highly inappropriate. One gym I used to train at many years ago banned usage in the gym altogether. Unnecessary texting and phonecalls are annoying at the best of times, let alone whilst training. I can zone out bad music & idiots but my skills stop short at this one. Sometimes it can provide great entertainment though - watched one arm shoulder press being performed on the smith machine the other day, whilst this guy was talking to mummy!
Does your gym have a policy/rule on this?
