I often judge the quality of a layover hotel by the places you can run and the gym facilities. It's my sanctuary after a 4 leg Maddog day. I'm tired of seeing pilots who bring their phones into the gym. You are a tool if you stop in the middle of your elliptical workout to return a text or sit on the bench that I'm waiting for while you run through your email. You're either working out or you're playing with your phone....you can't do both. Can't you stand to be apart from it for 30 minutes? And don't even get me started about the morons who hold a phone conversation in the hotel gym at the top of their lungs....that moves them straight out of tooldom into the realm of douchebaggery. I actually saw one guy walk into the gym, answer the phone and have an animated conversation for 20 minutes, and then walk out again. Must of been a heck of a workout.
