That's weird...Pretty much everyone is walking around with a phone in every gym i've been in the past 2-3 years...Whether jacked or not...It's usually 99% of teenagers/early 20's...And about 70% of everyone else
Once I had my phone stolen and didn't have a replacement until 5 days later. In those 5 days I got to realize how silly society has become, in the absence of a phone, looking around you; all you see is people staring at a screen. At the gym there was this guy who was charging his phone, and between each set he would run to the frontdesk to see if he had any messages, prior to browsing on his phone for 5-10min and doing another set.
Worst part is, I don't think he actually knew he was doing it. Much like I doubt people are cognitively aware they reach for their phone every few minutes, or react to the slightest buzz or ping like a pavlov dog, when otherwise completely oblivious to everything around them. Moreover, this behaviour can be observed across generations, with kids as young as 6 owning the latest phone, and grandpa/ma's receiving their fancy tablets. Sickening.You don't need a phone with you when you're training. Matter of fact, you don't need a phone at any given time of the day other than when you're reasonably expecting to be called (at work or pre-arranged). Music on, minimal rest or as required, and get it done.
