Gym nightmare

I put my phone in my bra.

This^^^

If I am doing an exercise where I feel it might fall out, I put it within arms reach.

My gym urges people not to leave valuables in locked lockers. If you are leaving your phone lying around in a public place, that means you are planning to go phone shopping soon.

I don't understand where "not chained down" ever became equated with "morally sound stealing."

I may be one of the only honest people left in the world.

Gosh you are trusting..

Just put your **** in a locker or buy an armband for your phone.. problem solved.

My smartphone is my life... there is no way I would just set it down and not trust people to try and take it.. esp at a gym!

it has less to do with honesty and much to do with personal responsibility. if you want to continue to play the victim card, i won't stop you. it won't help you, but i won't stop you.

This.

And welcome to the real world.

Love the hole punch idea!
I never bring my iPhone with me unless I can keep it in my pocket. Most of the time I throw my stuff in a cubby and don't have to worry, coat, keys, lift gloves, water bottles. I keep my iPod on my arm but the less I take in with me, the less I have to worry about someone taking and the less I have to worry about it and the MORE I can focus on why I'm there.

Am I the only one that doesn't understand this thread at all?
Cubbies? Shelsea? People moving things? OKC?

What?

You're not the only one confused. Like location means anything.

To the OP, bring a light bag. Use an arm band. Don't bring your phone unless it's your music player.

erm yeah.

Also, why are people bringing more then a water bottle into the gym? Leave your stuff in your trunk.

Er, really? Don't you get bored without music? Or how do you track your progress without a pen/paper or your phone?

I bring a water bottle (well, tea), chalk substitute ball, towel (your gym doesn't have a towel policy?), fractional plates, keys, my phone, and headphones. I keep it all in my bag next to me (where my jacket ends up getting stuffed when I get too warm) and just move the bag with me if I move.

But OP yes, that is shocking. Invest in a little bag to hold onto your things.

what kind of gym do you work out at lol, i can't imagine people trying to steal my stuff.

Three pages of responses from people who did understand the thread, so not sure what to tell you. Happy New Year

A lock should be like one of the top few things that you always have with you to go to the gym. Lock, water, towel are the necessities (other than the obvious proper gear, footwear, etc). My phone and headphones are pretty high on my personal list, too, but that's my preference- lock, water and towel are pretty universal. I feel like maybe the OP is new to using a gym, and may not have realized a lock is a necessity unless you leave everything in your car- and then you have to carry your keys around, which is also annoying.

Use a locker or leave it witht hefront desk when you check in. That is what we do at our gym. I had a water bottle taken after I forgot it once, that was my own fault though...

I put my phone in my bra.

Phones don't work if sweat gets in them. I've killed 3 phones by keeping them in my bra. :sad:
