Its just too big to be practical. And heavy on your arm after 30 min or so. I tried it.

This was my first day at the gym with the 6 Plus and it was really hard to do some exercises with it in my pocket as its too big. I like to listen to music, so I have it all the time. How do you guys manage its size? An armband/holster? Bluetooth headphones?
I really wanted the plus, awesome device. But I work out a lot and that was the deal breaker for me carrying it at the gym.

What kind of exercise are we talking here? Are you running on the tread mill or lifting weights? Because cardio machines I'd just put it in the cup holder and I'd be done with it. Lifting weights I have a pair of bluetooth headphones. So I leave the phone on the floor at my feet or on my lap if I'm doing leg extentions or anything like that. I used to rock a Galaxy Note 2 with a extended 9300 mah battery. And I never had a problem. The 6 Plus is a change since it's alot lighter. An armband would work really well too and it would be cheaper than a pair of bluetooth headphones.
It's not a cinderblock. It's not bad to carry around. Just grab an armband or something.
You have to consider the real size of this phone. I am normal height / proportions and it is 75% of the length of my forearm. The griffin armband strap is nearly the length of the phone to hold the phone safe and stable. That's a huge 'thing' strapped to you. I would say go ahead and get the + and find a pouch, pocket or belt.
No offense, but did you really expect a phablet to work well at the gym?
I use Planatronic Backbeat Go 2 Bluetooth headphones. I leave my phone in my jacket while I work out. I'm at least 75 feet from my phone when I use the squat rack and never have an issue with it dropping out. They sound fantastic as well. I have to have good bass when I listen to music. These fit the bill perfect.
