"Having a phone at the gym. I used to do this because I tracked my workouts in my phone. I work out at home now with an amazing app connected to my television that tracks everything for me. So much better!"
"I take my phone to the gym, too, because I listen to music. But I see A LOT of people scrolling on their phones while they're there as well. This causes them to take longer to use the equipment because, in between sets, they're looking at their phone for five minutes. You're there to work out. You're sharing equipment with others. Stop making everyone wait for you because you're unable to unplug."
Many gym-goers bring phones for functional reasons such as tracking workouts or listening to music. Some users have transitioned to dedicated apps on other devices that automate tracking and improve the experience. A common problem is people scrolling social media or messages between sets, which extends equipment use and creates delays for others. Shared equipment requires efficiency and awareness of waiting patrons. Reducing nonessential phone use at the gym speeds workouts, respects others' time, and improves facility flow. Choosing alternative tracking methods or limiting phone checks to outside sets minimizes interference and encourages courteous gym behavior.
