Loud music in the gym

On the subject of music while the music in the gym is either too loud or not to my taste I should get one of those mp3 players with an armband and then the gym would not be too bad on my ears. I might even compete with the guys who hit the gym daily and workout for 2 or 3 hours.

For what purpose?

In my pursuit to be a lean mean fighting machine, though the huge guys I'm taking about are Hulk-wannabes.
 
so what? Maybe they wanna look like the hulk. What if I told you that I go to the gym to get hyooge, and you're just a lean mean fighting machine wannabe?
 
We have a pretty cool place for training. We play whatever music we want, as loud as we want.

If people do not like it, they can get out.

I hear you guys about the "neutral" commercial gym music though. That had that a gym I used to work at. It pretty much made me want to be an axe murderer.
 
If music is played at all, it should be set to a volume where an mp3 player can easily block it out. I have to turn mine nearly all the way up to hear my music, and I really tihnk it's ruining my hearing.

That, and I realise people have different tastes, but who the hell works out to Britney Spears. I for one, cannot perform heavy deadlifts if I hear britney spears voice, or ashley simpson's voice.

Music needs to be turned down, if people want to hear music, they'd have mp3 players.
 
I once had a pretty intense session where I got really pissed at the "detrimental" music...How ironic.

I think soft rock is way worse than pop music. WAY worse. Ie, The Eagles' "Take It Easy" when trying to max. Wtf is that ****?
 
I love all types of music(country, rap, rock, classic rock, pop - no techno) as long as it has a beat, upbeat, where you freaking just want to dance your arse off to it.
Can't help but to kind of bop to it in between sets.
I wish they would have an aerobic class where they play disco dancing music, no techno crap. I would just stay in there for an hour and dance a way.

Put this type of music on and it just wants to make me run faster on the treadmill. The louder the better, just helps me to block out conversations and the crap going on around me and in my own head. Just gets me in the mood.

Yes, that is the way my ipod is loaded w/ that type of music, from Prince, Garth Brooks, Stones, Billy Joel, Barry White, Usher, Blige, Vaugh brothers (shoot really bad at artists names, but some song "got her white boots on)

Thank God for Ipods. The only thing bad about them is sometimes I catch myself about to belt out a note, slightly embarassing.
 
How is the situation in your gym concerning music? In mine they have mostly behaved since I sent an email to the gym managers.
 
My gym has no music and I dont take my iPod. However I wouldnt mind some rap or metal during a good session. Lifting is really the only time I like really heavy metal.
 
mp3 player + fierce scowl + purple face + strange animal noises + heavy panting = perfect recipe for aloneness. <3

And, in a pinch, the awesome might of my stink eye has yet to fail to turn an overfriendly mother****er right 'round. ****, tryin' to talk to me, like we at Chuck. E. Cheese and it's your birthday. **** off.

lol...........
 
Hmmm double entendre. Geez tribal you such a sissy haha. I bet the cracked up when they got you email. Probably thought you were an old man. Music in my opinion should be LOUD
 
I don't mind it loud, what I can't stand is when they play some p*ssy music. I can't do deadlifts to Celine Dion! :SaiyanSmilie_anim:
 
There's this guy that swims at my pool who is kind of a skinny/fat guy. I say kind of because he's not exactly fat but he's not skinny/skinny either. He's got maybe 13% bodyfat sitting around his midsection, and the rest of him is pretty skinny. He isn't skeleton bony, but he doesn't have any muscle that would be at all respectable. He probably drinks wine and reads The New Yorker while he sits in his striped shirt with the top three buttons undone when he isn't swimming or eating overpriced carbs. Despite all the times I've seen him swim, he is still remarkably pale. He rarely changes his expression from "punch me-- I'm an asshole".

His swimming style is indicative that he never competed and that he swims for the exercise, which is common. And that is not to say he swims only the back and breast strokes, rather he swims only the freestyle. However, his arm movements, kicking pattern, and swimming rythym tells me he lives his life by the book. Challenge to him is figuring out what kind of accessories would look good in his apartment or what kind of crappy, vintage tee he would like to by from Abercrombie. His speed and lack of improvement tell me he embraces his failures.

When he leaves the pool deck his walk tells me that deep down, he knows he sucks. But he'd rather not face it and probably hates people who are better than him.

I sit in the guard chair wondering if Tribal comes to swim at my pool.

Actually there were previous complaints about the noise even before I joined the gym. Those playing the music loudly after I joined were of course in breach of previous instructions to keep the music down. Normally or at least 99% of the time my bark is worse than my bite.

I have come to know some of the instructors and they are not bad people.
