I know of a person who found it amusing to take photographs of overweight people at a gym, and post them on her Facebook page. Really encouraging to those trying to help themselves. So yes, I support this policy. If you're expecting an urgent call, sta home until it comes.

Really that's insane. As someone that is on-call 24x7x365 I could never go to the gym. What about parents with kids that need to get in touch, etc. If people are concerned about being photographed in their exercise outfits then perhaps they shouldn't be wearing those outfits.

Also, my cell phone is my personal trainer. I use an exercise program on my phone that keeps track of and tells me what I need to do on that day. I couldn't work out without it.

The Y's and some other gyms have signs posted prohibiting the use of cel phone cameras, especially in lockerrooms. The incident in the article happened at a Planet Fitness that has a written policy prohibiting cel phone conversations and the woman had been warned a number of times previously. I don't think a gym can ban all cel phone use as many people use their smartphones to play music or they use workout apps to assist/track their workouts. Personal trainers now even use smartphone apps instead of carrying around stopwatches. I have no problem if someone has a quick, quiet conversation using a headset but as always, there are self-absorbed individuals who ruin it for everyone else.

'yerk...' people do not have quiet conversations on cell phones. they need to get up or off the treadmill and go outside.

In a word, "No." Do we have to be subjected to electronic noise ALL the time. Try going to a doctor's office, clinic, or hospital without a TV going. Yap, yap, yap. Why can we have some peace & quiet?

@ Steve it is spelled "Restaurant". Many people have jobs where they are on call 24/7/365 like Doctors and other professionals as myself. Love your line " How about all the poor people who have to go outside to have a nice smoke?"...really if you need to go smoke while at the gym you shouldn't be at the gym.

I go to the gym and the rule is talk in the lobby with your phone if she couldnt say hold on a min while I go outside then she should be kicked out. To many people are rude with there phones.

I got stopped the other day for texting while driving. I could not believe the gall of the cop when he came back to my car and handed me a ticket. I explained that I conducted my business via text 24/7/365, and I should be exempt from any fine. He didn't seem to interested in tearing up the ticket. I have been unfairly picked on. What you say.

If you live in you car and conduct business 24/7/365, can you get a tax deduction for hame a home office?

There was a time that we did not need our cell phones so much. It is a habit now, and it can be rude at times. Know when to use it. If she broke the rules of the gym then she should take accountability, seems no one wants to do that anymore.

This was this the second time she has done this, as she said in the Fox25 interview, would be great to get the gym's side of the story as well. I find irony in the fact that this woman was on Fox25 a couple weeks earlier in a segment about housewives having afternoon cocktails, could she be looking for an additional 15 minutes of fame?

Jeez, what did we all do before everyone carried cellphones. It is the most annoying thing being anywhere that someone is having a supposedly "personal" conversation that everyone can hear. They talk on the phone in the supermarket, oblivious to people trying to get around them. Phones go off in church and they run outside to answer. Talking on a phone while on a treadmill while other people are trying to exercise is just rude. If someone is waiting for the dr. to call, stay home, take the call and then go to the gym. No excuse.

Why do people feel the need to over communicate. Thats exactly what they are doing on their cell phones texting and calling constantly. Yes cell phones are great to get in touch and a convienence but why all this over communication. There is no social interaction between kids anymore and adults are just as bad. Time and place for everything.
