Only used by tossers who want to pretend they have friends in my experience.
If you are truly working out then you want no distraction - correct?

Agreed. If I'm in the middle of a conversation that I don't want to end I'll use mine in between sets, otherwise I'll tell someone I'll text 'em back when I'm done.Originally Posted by bpb77

I dunno. I just get frusterated with people at the gym when they end up BSing around instead of getting down to biz.

I always carry my phone with me.. I never ever call/text anyone, and won't answer calls/texts, but I like to always have my phone near me.
It does however piss me off when people take calls in between their sets and scream at the top of their lungs, while stayin on the bench that I need to use.

Worst thing to be honest. I rarely take my phone in to the gym, only if i'm expecting a call. It really stops me from concentrating on the weights as I already have a short attention span. I especially hate when people are on the phone and they sit at the bench station for like half an hour.
