US gym chain bans iPod nano

24 September 2009 13:53

A US gym chain has restricted the use of the latest iPod nano in its fitness centres by those in men's and women's gym wear.

The new MP3 player by Apple is equipped with a video camera which can record hours of footage. The device is very compact and can be easily concealed so concerns of voyeurism have led to the Life Time Fitness chain taking action.

It has banned any use of the devices in locker rooms and restricts their use to music only in exercise areas.

UK gym chain Fitness First has said that it will not be following suit.

"Fitness First does not condone this kind of activity but at present we have no plans to ban the nano 5G," a spokesperson told technology website techradar.com.

The NHS recommends donning your ladies running wear and dancing or going for a run whilst listening to music as great ways to exercise, adding that by keeping active you can lower the risk of heart disease, stroke and some major cancers.ADNFCR-2569-ID-19376907-ADNFCR
