Kids (anyone younger than 50 are considered kids for me) like to sit on the machines for ever, doing whatever it is they do with their cell phones. Cell phones should not be allowed in work out areas, period! I don't need to check texts, make phone calls, or have some kind of app tracking my work out. Just work out, sweat, shower, and go home.

Agree about cell phones in gym regardless of age. I must be a bit more assertive. When I’m ready to move to a particular machine and someone is socializing from it, I politely ask them if they’re finished. Sometimes they don’t even realize they’re holding things up. They always move on, usually with apology. Ya gotta nudge them. But that’s ok.
