Should Gyms Allow Cell Phone Use?

One woman's membership was canceled by a local gym for talking on the phone.

Last week, a Westwood woman's Planet Fitness membership was taken away for talking on her cell phone, according to The Boston Herald.  Tina Santoro Asmar told The Herald that the reason she answered the phone at the Dedham gym was because it was from her doctor's office. But because she refused to hang up the phone, the manager of the gym canceled her membership. Some gyms are known for having strict guidelines on cell phone use to prevent members from being interrupted by loud conversations. "It also eliminates concerns about video recording or photographs of people in their exercise outfits," Brian Kablik, co-owner of the gym, told The Herald. What do you think?  Should gyms allow cell phone use? Tell us in the comments below.
