Fellow lifting ladies - where do you carry your phone/music player when you're at the gym?

    Bluetooth earphones and headphones. Phone tucked in bra while lifting, but I pull it out to log reps. While doing cardio, I put it on the machine so it doesn't fall to the floor

    Bluetooth headphones and just put it on the floor next to whatever I'm doing! My workout is in my phone so I need it nearby but not physically on me.

    I found a super cheap mp3 player on amazon with a slot for a big SD card. It's so tiny I just slip it in the side of my brain and run the cord up under the shoulder strap. BTW the player is about the size of a poker chip - really tiny.

    I got a fanny pack, but I also have a Galaxy Note. Big phones tebd not to fit well un bras or little phone nooks on some machines. Plus Bluetooth headset is really nice too, so not tangled in cords

    blue tooth headphones from amazon,also I found leggings from C9 champion at target online, they have sidepockets on the legs and they are perfect for a cellphone- even if you use the regular corded headphones. best purchases I ever made!

    Someone on here recommended these pants, and they are AWESOME. comfy and convenient. I use them to run and workout. I put my ipod in the pocket, connect my bluetooth headphones (also bought on amazon for 20 bucks), and off I go!

    Another vote for Bluetooth headphones here. I have the over the head variety so there's no dangly wires to catch on anything (can't stand the Bluetooth earbuds with the wire behind the neck). I just lean my phone against the wall. I also have a running pouch/belt that holds it.

    Just discovered apple watch can hold 2 GB worth of music and can be played through bluetooth headphones without being paired to your phone. There are also workout apps that can be used on watch without the phone.

    lol I carried my ipad with me because my phone doesn't have space for spotify. I just set it down out of the way within sight (bluetooth headphones- distance wasn't a problem)

    Ok so my new Under Armour tights have a pocket in them that fit an iPhone 7 with a case on. But I may have to check out some Bluetooth headphones just so that I don't have to deal with a cord.

    Workout pants with pockets are the best thing ever! I track my weight and reps on my phone so bluetooth headphones don't work for me.. I tend to carry my phone.. or tuck it into my waist band. Not ideal. All new pant purchases will only be ones with pockets! I've seen some girls with a small fanny pack looking thing.. It's quite small.. gets the job done.

    I use an armband by Supcase. It's the most comfortable armband I've ever used and has lasted the longest out of all the ones I've tried. I prefer an armband to a pocket because it just feels more secure and easily accessible when working out. :)

    Check out the Stuff Your Bra from Lululemon. Bra with pockets. I put my phone in there.

    I use an armband.
    I am liking these suggestions on Bluetooth headphones though!
