Do you use your iPhone at the gym?

If so how do you carry it? Is there a belt clip that would work with an existing case?
 
I just keep mine in my pocket and run the earbud cable up under my shirt. I have an armband, but it never seems to stay put. I spent way more time fixing it than it was worth.

Eventually I'd like to get a nano, but my phone does fine for now.
 
Well...when I actually do make it to the gym I just use my iPhone and keep it in a pocket. I do have a 5th gen Nano but I just end up using my iPhone.
 
Yip. iPhone 4 in my pocket, Jaybird freedom Bluetooth headphones in my ears and I'm running, cycling and pushing weights without any hindrance from the onboard entertainment.

Now those are cool! May have to get some. :)
 
I always do and just keep the phone in my pocket. I use a pair of klipsh s4i's and never have to take the phone out of my pocket. They have volume controls and shuffle capabilities.

Never have problems

DO IT!! As far as bluetooth headphones go you'll battle to find better.

Good job!!!!

2 cons to consider:

1.) You get 5 minutes of notice when your battery is drained. It beeps every 30 seconds for roughly 5 minutes then dies.
2.) Call quality is poor, bordering on unusable. Don't get them if taking calls while using them is a priority!!!!

Pros:

1.) Stylish design
2.) Easy to pair
3.) 5-6 hour battery life
4.) Ships with an array of earbuds
5.) Sweat proof (backed up with a lifetime warranty against sweat damage)
6.) Excellent sound quality (puts my Shure SE115 to shame)
 
I'm banned from the gym at the moment but when I did goto the gym i just, stuck it down my bra. There is no other way to say that.
 
Some machines at the gym i go to has a 30pin connector to dock your iPhone. Somehow it enables nike+ and keeps track of my exercise

Not so much banned by the gym (I'm sure they wouldn't care) but my GP doesn't want me using the gym right now because I'm at risk of miscarriage.

LOL, I had figured it out by your sig. ;) Congrats and the gym will be waiting after the little one arrives. :cool:
 
Yeah, I do use it at the gym with the Belkin 050 Essential... I use the phone for the timer and my workout for the day.
 
Yep, I used to use my 4 year old iPod video but then I started bringing my iPhone 4 to text friends during my two minute rest in-between lifts. I just use my iPhone 4 with my BOSE IE2. Never had a problem with earphones falling out of my ear during lifts/elliptical.


Have the iPhone 4 in my pocket while earphones go inside the shirt so wires does not get in the way of my lift.
