Phone holder for the gym

Hey, fitness buffs! I need some advice for holding onto my phone during my workouts. Cardio & weight training. I HAVE TO listen to music constantly so I download all my playlists to my phone. All that to say, I'm not looking for music player technology recommendations, just a way to hang onto my phone.

I've tried wearing it in my bra [yuck] and tucking it into my weight belt in front [connection issues] Arm bands don't appeal to me because A. Batwings and B. Friction during arm movements. Any good ideas out there?

I have wireless headphones so location on my body isn't too much of an issue.

  • Heard good things about running belts, they hold all kinds of things, are comfy (don’t know if they would cause connection issues) but they have them on amazon for relatively inexpensive prices. Hope

    Running belts are great. Spandex type fabric you can hide them under your shirt. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D622T16 https://www.amazon.com/FlipBelt-Level-Terrain-Waist-Medium/dp/B00JF9EMM

If you don't like the feeling of a belt around your waist, try the roosport magnetic pouch. The magnets are surprisingly strong. You can clip it on anytype of waistband. You can put the pocket that holds your phone outside or inside your pants/shorts/jeans. They are great when you travel to keep passports, keys, cell phone and cards.

Really appreciate the recommendation! I'm on it!

I was using a simple Water proof neck strap pouch for electronic devices, and Bluetooth - when running.

I bought like an invisible belt that holds my phone too, and it works but it was a waste, i never use it. I also don’t think it comes in all sizes, it’s limited.
