I use a separate ipod for my music, tucked into my sports bra along with the cord. My phone has the SL app (which really needs to be FIXED since I can't change the weights after updating to iOS 7........... ) and it's usually sitting on the window sill next to the squat rack.

I have an mp3 that clips to my shirt and I use a small notebook and pen to keep track of all my workouts. My gym also offers sheets/pens/cliboards to use if I forget my notebook. With my luck I would drop a weight on my phone if I had it in the gym with me.

Maybe get a smaller player for music and just keep the phone out separate?

I listen to music, keep track of my sets on a spreadsheet, and peruse mfp during my workout. I just use an armband. I wouldn't keep your phone in your bra unless you don't want to ever take advantage of your phones warranty. (Sweat will trigger the moisture indicator.) I keep mine in an armband, or in my hoodie pocket if it's a cold day. I have an armpocket and they are pretty nice. It fits my phone with commuter otterbox on it. They do have blue tooth headsets/earbuds but I haven't read any stunning reviews for any of them and they're kinda pricey!

I'm planning to get a belt from Amazon to put an ipod in, as the music selection at my black iron gym is quite.. well, quite Eminem and rap focused, and it's not really my tasted to have a load of 'motherfathers' every other word..

But I just carry my phone round, dump it with my towel and drink while I'm doing a set, use it to record my progress on an app, and stick it in a spare shoe to take video of me from time to time!

this is what I'm looking at getting.. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00BMJ85JQ/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A10S2HWG3CM8Y7

I've thought about the sweat issue. I have a case on my phone and I make sure I tuck it in case side down, and I try to keep it tucked more into the strap, instead of all the way into the bra.

It looks like there are other options for carrying a phone, besides an armband. I guess I'll have to go to The Google too see what I can find. (When my granddaughter was 5, she asked us if we knew how to use The Google, so that's how I think of it now!)

That is cute. And Google is taking over our lives. Soon it might be known as "the google." I, for one, welcome our new overlords.

You could always do a fanny pack type thinger? Idk I use a belt for my heaviest sets so that doesn't really work for me, but you know until you decide you want to compete I'm sure it'd be fine

yes, I didn't want an armband because of the amount of arm utilisation in the workouts and thought it would get in the way..

I have a spi belt atm, so I keep it tucked behind me so the earphone's cord doesn't dangle too much. I've gotten stuck on machines and barbells enough times though that I decided to offer myself bluetooth earphones during the boxing day. i bought them online and I should have them by the end of next week! So excited! Then I'll probably just have the phone sitting in my notebook.

It's such a hassle to get the phone out to use tracking apps that I basically just use a 1$ notebook and write down my workout by hand. That way I can take notes and stuff too. I just fill in my fitocracy log once I get home that day. (Having previous wrokouts easy to flip through also helps when I'm unsure what weight to go with )
