Gym and Treadmill Phone Holders

A phone in sight while you train

A gym holder fixes a phone or a tablet to a machine or a bar, at a height you can see while you move. On a treadmill or a cross-trainer it holds a film, a workout or a training plan in front of you. On an exercise bike it keeps a class or the ride's figures in view. The holders here clamp or wrap onto round and flat bars without tools, and several of them go on a bike, a pram or a wheelchair just as well, so one holder can follow you from the gym to the park.

The kinds of gym holder here

• Clamp-on holders tighten onto a bar with a screw or a lever. One here holds a phone or a tablet upright or sideways, turns to cut glare, and fits treadmills, spin bikes, prams, wheelchairs, golf trolleys, poles and music stands.
• Bendable holders have flexible legs or arms that wrap round a handlebar, a rail or a pole, and grip beds and desks as well.
• Handlebar mounts grip a bar and turn all the way round. One here comes in a short or a long style and suits gym equipment, bikes and pushchairs. More are in bike and motorbike phone mounts.

How to choose one

Look at where it will go. Check the bar's shape and thickness against the clamp's range on the product page, as a treadmill console is often a flat edge rather than a round bar. Check the device size too: a phone, or a tablet for a class you want to see properly.

Then think about the movement. Running shakes a treadmill more than you might think, so a holder that grips the phone on all sides is safer than one it rests on. Fit it so nothing can drop onto the belt or into the pedals, and keep the machine's stop button and any safety clip clear and easy to reach.

If you would rather carry the phone on you, see running armbands and waist and belt pouches. For a pram or a scooter, see scooter and pram phone holders.

Questions people ask about gym phone holders

Will a treadmill holder fit my machine?

Measure the bar or edge you want to clamp to and compare it with the clamp's range on the product page. A bendable holder fits more shapes than a fixed clamp.

Can I use the same holder on my bike?

Several of these suit bikes too. For riding on the road, a mount made for it holds the phone more firmly over bumps: the guide to bike and motorbike phone mounts covers it.
