Lol that's terrible.

I don't agree with being on the phone at the gym but it doesn't give her the right to walk over and start screaming at you.

I received a call from a crazy old lady in Boston asking for your personal details. She said she was doing a survey. I think she intends on stalking you. I gave her everything I knew.

I concur.

I go to PF not because I like it but because it's convenient and inexpensive.

There are signs that suggest taking phone calls in the lobby. They are routinely ignored. There are signs that ask you to please re-rack weights. Those are often ignored. There is a big siren and flashing light for when people crash their weights and presumably they should be asked to leave, but I've never seen it happen.

I was there a few weeks ago (I go 4x a week) and had to wait to use a machine. I waited, and waited, and this middle-aged woman was just sitting there, as she had been for many minutes (I had gone off and used another machine and came back and she hadn't moved) so I asked her if I could work in.

"No, I've just got one more set," she says.

Fine. So I wait. She does her 7 reps and stops, back on the phone. I walked back over.

"Are you done?" I ask.

"No, I need to rest between sets."

"I'd like to use it while you are resting."

"I'm using it now." She was still playing with her phone.

"You told me that you only had one more set to do."

I got a blank look. "I'm using it," she said. She wasn't.

"Hey, it's just common gym courtesy to let someone work in while you rest. That's all I'm asking."

She got up in a huff and walked off. At this point, it was the last machine that I needed to do to finish my workout, and I really don't think I was being rude or offensive, I just wanted to do my reps while she "rested" between her exhausting 7 reps.

If it was up to me, everyone would have to turn in their cell phone before entering the gym. Period.

1) I don’t go to PF

2) I wasn’t on a machine

3) she wanted me

She’s like I came to the gym to listen to music and work our not hear you on the phone...

This was less than 5 mins... she was yelling. It wasn’t a calm convo...


Man what is wrong with people these days.




I went to the managers office they told me to ignore the crazy. I go back down. This lady. Walks by and says what are you looking at.


She’s like 60-65 years old maybe... just wow.

That’s one advantage of going to an expensive gym. Fewer people, and the people that go generally want to be there. Many are often busy professionals that have better things to do with their free time than sit around at the gym.
It sounds like you handled it pretty well.

I don't know the situation is your gym, if she was far from you or could hear you, etc but in general, I think it is pretty bad form to be one the phone in the gym or any public place. It is a bit like the guy who insists on having loud conversations on the airplane while seated before taking/the second the plane lands, or guys who think Starbucks is their private office.

Nothing against you buddy but be mindful next time
