    My old gym (closed during covid) had a no phone policy, agreed upon in sign up, posted with multiple signs. It kind of sucked if you wanted to use your phone for music, but I appreciated it. They would literally toss any phones in the garbage.

      This might be when that old iPod - sitting in a drawer for years - might come in handy. Or any little MP3 player that might be in the market right now, I haven’t shopped for them in ages, but I imagine they’re pretty cheap nowadays.

        Ha I used to use this little RCALyra MP3 player.

        Shit was awesome, super tiny. Came with a strap that could connect to your arm. 64MB internal storage (that’s like a whole CD yo) and expandable memory with a SD card. No worrying about charging shit as it’s powered by a single triple a battery.

        The battery compartment was notoriously flimsy and would break off. So I always had to have a rubber band wrapped around it to keep it closed.
