How do they work at the gym?

The cord is really long, but I was able to just tie excess cord into a bundle and keep it in a pocket. If you don't have pockets in your workout pants, or just want a more convenient pair of headphones, these may not be for you.

Probably not well. They're not THAT tight on your head, especially if you're planning on running or even using an elliptical or just lifting. I would recommend these for deskwork, but earbuds for working out.

I would not wear them there because a) they're pretty big around your ears so you might look weird, b) they're over-ear so your ears would be very hot and c) they are pretty quiet headphones so if it is a loud gym you may not hear them so well.

Well, you plug them into your media player, put them on your head... Hah just kidding; I wouldn't recommend these for the gym. They would be too bulky and your ears would sweat so you'd be uncomfortable. The cord is way too long- you could use a rubber band or a cord clip to shorten it but it would still get in the way. Trust me, it's REALLLY long. Probably about six feet long- made for using in a bedroom setting listening to the TV. (The description probably says what the actual length is btw.) If you are willing to deal with an annoyingly long cord and sweaty ears while you are at the gym (presumably working out) then I guess these could work... unless you use the gym to, say... swim or do gymnastics. But why bother? You can buy cheaper, more practical headphones for the purpose of exercising. And also- if you want can-style because you think they're better at noise blocking- these won't work for you either. My earbuds actually block out twice as much sound as these headphones do, so if that's your case- pass on these. Hope that helps.

I haven't used it in the gym. they are a bit heavy though - you might want to take that into consideration when using them at the gym.

They extend a foot or so and are easy to adjust quickly once you get the hang of it. I put marks on my rack so I could remember which holes correspond to which lifts.In terms of bailing on a rep they work great for bench press. For squats, however, I'm always a little nervous that I'm going to miss them if/when I have to bail on a failed rep. I haven't missed yet, but I recommend practicing your bail with an empty bar to make sure you're properly lined up over the safeties.

I haven't used them in the gym but I do use them when I run, and there has been a few times cars have come up by me and I never heard them coming, and I have used them when the girlfriend is yelling at me, cant hear a word ahahahahaha. But I'm sure you won't hear anything in the gym, the headphones come with a few sets of different size ear pieces.

You should be able to get a user manual from their website. If you can't find one there, check with a local Golds Gym.

You should ask your gym. They don't damage equipment, but you should ask the establishment in case there is a liability issue or something.

Unfortunately, the product does not come with a workout manual in the box. They offer each if you want to fill out the included ordering slip, mail it in, pay for each (plus shipping and handling), wait for them, then start using the bar. There are many references on the web as to how to integrate the bar into a workout, but the best would be to alternate various pull ups (narrow, wide, over- and under-hand grips) with various types of push-ups or bicep curls. However, whatever you do, make sure to stretch properly, use proper form (slow and steady without straining your neck to reach the bar) and pace yourself.

It's a simple machine. 3 bands on each side which pull from the top, by shoulders, and bottom, by ankles. You can hook up to 1, 2, or3 bands at once, making 10 levels of resistance p[ossible. Two hand grips and two velcro straps with spring clip connector hooks. Seat has two height angles and back can be raised or lowered on incline to suit. Good in concept but I am having trouble adjusting the seat and incline to a point where I can do most of a workout without readjusting these items over and over. I'm going to end up drilling new holes and making some spacers to get things in a comfortable and utilitary position. Comes with DVDs for different body groups and a handy wall chart in an ugly in an inconverient holder. It woln't take long to learn the routines so the charts can be tucked away for occassional reference. Most of the exercises shown are contrived by the manufacturer to create the image of abundent possible exercises. Most are hard to set up and unnecessary for good basic exercise routines. If you want more than basic... join a gym!

I'm sorry, but I have no idea. I just use mine for short periods of time, mainly when I'm working out.

The Leg press is similiar enough to a gym experience, certainly the exercise gets the muscle groups covered. The machine does not have a way to do a true squat that I have found...the range of motion for a leg press does not really feel like doing squats

They stay in really well but it still depends in how vigorous you are working out.

No. They do not.I use it with Pilates and in place of some exercises that I would normally use dumbbells.

I haven't tried using them yet at the gym. They seem like they would work awesome though, because I rest the frame right above my ears and they stay in place very well. I would not be able to answer as far as the sweat issue.

I'm in the gym about 6 days/week doing weights and 45 min. cardio sessions, and they've held up pretty well. I'm a heavy sweater and haven't had any problems. I've had them about a month.

I have answered numerous calls while at the gym and haven't had to take them off to hear someone or talk. They don't have a mic so you can't speak through them but you don't have to take them off, just speak into the phone itself.

Yep, in fact that is what I do most of the time. It is a little tricky so you will need to practice before you start your workout but after you get it set up it works great.
