Nick Walker: “I’m Like Do You Want To Do A Set?”
Nick Walker talked about he handles approaching someone on a machine that is not currently using it but spending time on their phone.
“I’m like ‘excuse me. How many more sets do you have?’ They’ll be like ‘oh. I got one or two.’ Okay, and then they just go back to doing this. I’m like do you want to do a f*cking set? I’m waiting.”
“I go up politely and go how many more sets do you have? Whatever they say, I’m like ‘okay, cool.’ If I see them go right back and just, I’m like ‘yo, do your set.’ Then I get the attitude.”

There are a few reasons why gym goers would need to use their phone when working out and of course, music is the biggest one on the list.
“If you use your phone, nine times out of 10, you use your phone for music…If you just change the song and back in the pocket, you know what I mean. So, I think that’s smart in my opinion.”
The gym is a public place and this means that you will have to encounter many people. Sometimes, there are times where actions can get under your skin and overusing your phone on a machine is one of them.
