Thanks to Mark for sending from VIDA Fitness:

“In a world where we are tethered to our phones, it is getting harder and harder to practice good mobile phone etiquette. Based on your feedback, we’ve recently updated our mobile phone policy signage. You’ve also asked us to take things a step further and increase our enforcement of these policies. We understand that you don’t want to hear another member’s conference call while you’re working hard on the elliptical, wait for a bench press while someone casually catches up on 400 emails and text messages, or wait for the dumbbells you need while their user scrolls through Instagram.

Please review the following policies while we work together to respect the enjoyment of VIDA for all members.

We are truly sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience while we resolve these issues.”
