Cell phones in gyms ?

I guess it's just a matter of what's important to you. I have a cell phone, and am on call 24 hours a day. I depend on it to put a roof over my head, and food in my mouth., BUT I will never take it to the gym. That's where I go to get away from all that crap. Body building is about being of sound mind and body. Personally, to maximize the effort I put into my body, I need to be in "the zone. " I'm sure most of you will agree. If you can't just say "fuck it," and turn that thing off for 1 1/2 hours a day, I guess it's just not something you're willing to sacrifice.
Okay. I'll play.
Of course there are some exceptions occasionally, ie: family member terminally ill, life-altering stock deal...etc..., but for the most part, realistically; how many people in your gym right now, who have a phone on them absolutely cannot live without it for a very short time?

I think people that carry them everywhere look silly, but I don't really care ... as long as it's not holding me up some how. For instance, you are in line somewhere trying to do business and the jackass in front of you has to finish his/her conversation and keep business from running in a timely manner. Cell phones are fine as long as your conversation does not interfere with my schedule and that's my humble opinion.

If you are on call, it is OK. But to just talk while you are on the treadmill.... What the FUCK!!!
I am on-call 24/7 and carry a pager and cell all the time. when I am at the gym, the cell stays in the locker, and I keep my pager with me- reason being, everyone in my life knows my cell number, the people who need my in an actual emergency know my pager numbers and that it. they page, i'll call back...works for me...

If your gym has a micro wave put all the cell phones in there at once and hit high for 15 minutes.
well using a cell phone in the gym is not bad, i havent read the thread, but hell if you gotta use the phone you gotta use it, what is bad though is when your working out and there are people using equipment while they sit their ass there doing nothing but reading a newspaper, they're takin up time and gym space, I sometimes want to just tell them that hey asshole your in the gym not fuckin starbucks!!!!!!
