Wifi at the gym

When I go to the gym and do cardio I use something to pass the time and make the cardio more enjoyable. I usually have no interest in what is showing on the big screen tvs so I bring a book or watch something on my phone, and some cardio is a lot easier to do when not holding a book. I have an iPad that is wifi only, but my gym has no wifi.

Does anyone else's gym have wifi? Thoughts on whether this is something that a gym should provide?

my old gym had free wifi, which was nice for pandora. but in the cardio room they also had 3 flat screen tvs with remotes so if you got there first and got the remote you could watch whatever you wanted to. i loved that. i didnt have to watch the news or sports, i could watch like tosh.o if i wanted

my planet fitness has wifi yeah

My gym does, so I can watch movies on my Kindle Fire. I'm a Prime member so I get a lot of stuff for free. But, I can also put my own movies and TV shows on it. When I'm doing cardio, I like to watch a movie which means I can do at least 120 minutes.

I've also read my book while I'm walking. It sure does pass the time, and I say if it helps you get it in, then do it! Yeah, it's a gym and not a library, but if given the choice I'd pick spending the time on my *kitten* watching a movie or reading a book. This way it's an incentive for me. I can read my book but only if I'm at the gym, or I can watch my movie if I'm at the gym.

It's helped tremendously, and I don't see myself changing that habit anytime soon. Walking out doors is great and all but where I live is in the country and touristy so my main road is unsafe and there's no sidewalks. The gym is what I've got to use and use it I shall. And no, I don't use it when I'm on the weight machines that'd be stupid.

So yeah, it's gym, it's not a library but I'm doing it on one cardio machine not during busy times and I'm not hurting a thing. And it frees up the TV for someone who want to watch something they want. I say it's a great situation all around.

My gym has wi-fi and I use it to stream Pandora, that's all.

I think the Chinese buffet next to my gym has it...and it's not password protected. =B

My gym does not but Staples (adjacent) does & the signal is way strong enough to reach.

I've used it for Pandora and to connect my Kindle to HBOGo and have HBO Series marathons on the treadmill.

I would love for them to have it available legit.

my gym does.

for $10/mo and only 1 squat rack, they betta have somethin!

My gym has wifi. Because I have an iPad, not an iPhone, I use the wifi to track the last visit's weight on each machine and to sync up after cardio. That's about it. When I was starting out and losing, I would prop it up on the treadmill (at home), play streaming video from Amazon, and walk at an incline for an hour or two before bedtime. Got caught up on a lot of movies and TV series that way. But now I spend more time at the gym and I just listen to my own music stored on the iPad. I like audiobooks too, but only for walking.

Mine does.

I watch Supernatural while I run/bike.

yes, Pandora my entire session. Sometimes I listen to porn when I lift.
