And by the way, what's with wearing a suit to the gym?

Not quite how I pictured a ninja. But the camera never lies.

It was either a suit of run around naked doing squats.

Exactly, well stated. People who talk out loud in front of everyone while doing other things think they look important, but it is really just douchy.

I guess I’m going to be changing my name to Fat_douche soon

I am not a fan of people who are on their phones (texting, talking, surfing web, etc.) in the gym. If you're serious about your fitness then you schedule workouts like a business meeting. Go in with a plan and execute it. Leave the phone in the locker or your car.

Bah humbug.

Can't imagine the horrible level of problems TRF's members have... I mean, talk on the phone at the gym. Morbid.

Must go to my shrink now.

...can you pass gas?

kieselguhr · 14 January 2020, 10:50 AM

I have my sennheisers on and my playlist on blast. I go in work out and get out. I don’t bother people unless they bother me.

I only consider talking on the phone while in the gym rude if the person is hogging gym equipment and yapping away at the phone while there is a line of people waiting to use it.

brandrea · 14 January 2020, 11:04 AM

It all comes down to situational awareness.

I think most of us know if we are bothering others when we are on our phones. The polite thing to do is excuse yourself while having a conversation on your phone IMO

BNA/LION · 14 January 2020, 11:09 AM

YES! I don't want to hear your F-ing conversation. There is nothing that important that you need to talk aloud in the gym when everyone can hear you!

Send the person on the other end a text and let them know you are at the Gym and It Is RUDE to talk on the phone in the Gym!!!!

RHIII · 14 January 2020, 11:22 AM

Jonathan - we might need to make a few trips to test our cell service in various gyms - you know for analytical purposes. We can just call each other.....

ZFG about what anyone else is doing while I’m at the gym as long as they don’t smell horrible. I wear wireless earphones and listen to music or podcasts. Hygiene and keeping the equipment orderly is all I care about.

I’ve never had a conversation longer that 2 mins while working out though. Most people recognize the situation and keep it brief.

I go to one here in SF but you do find the occasional homeless person taking a shower .... that’s what $10 a month gets you. Thank god I have a shower at the office.

Except you can’t actually lift real weights there... i was trying to move gyms but they told me there’s not much free weights. It’s all about machines and treadmills and such.

I paid close to 80 a month at lifetime, now I’m at PF for 20 bucks, and they have a ton (literally) of free weights...

I think your being a little harsh, it gets the job done...

ltmgeller · 14 January 2020, 02:46 PM

NOt rude. If you were speaking to an actual person at the gym would she still complain?

Only if they’re hogging the equipment!

PPFANBOY · 14 January 2020, 03:56 PM

Depends on the volume.
If you sound like a douche, you're probably a douche.

If you're keeping it down for a short period of time, I don't see the harm in it.

Cru Jones · 14 January 2020, 04:21 PM

As long as you’re not blocking equipment, it’s not rude. Same thing with two people chatting at the gym.

Andad · 14 January 2020, 04:27 PM

Who really cares?

At least while J is on his phone at the gym he won’t be bumping into me on the street during a video call.

Now is there a ‘TGF’ somewhere?
