Loud music in the gym

I don't like music at all. I have an ipod that I listen to at night sometimes or in my car when I'm driving to work, but I never take it to the gym since I like listening to music in a controlled environment. I'm very hard of hearing, so when I'm hearing unknown sound, I tend to focus on the sound to determine what it is. So one day at the gym, the music suddenly changed to some rap music - not that I have anything against that type of music - and I suddenly had to look around to zero in on what sounded like an alarm. Then I realize it was the music and I was able to focus again. So basically, while at the gym, I don't hear anything. You could be talking to me, and I wouldn't hear it because over the years I've learned to zero out sounds completely and only focus again when I hear something unexpected of the current environment. I got several complaints over the years about people talking to me when they see me in public, but I always try my best to explain my situation.
 
I dont mind loud music, aslong as it isn't rediculously old and bad music.

I have the most varied music taste possible, but sometimes I just think.. What the hell are they playing.
 
Seeing some of your comments, one wonders whether gyms in general are customer-centric. The good gyms should listen to customer feedback and engage in customer consultation.
 
I train at home and have two very spirited kids (actually men, lol). They know I like music, so they pitched in and bought two of these speakers to put in my home garage gym:

There are two 15" woofers in each. I get the other 2morrow.

Son's are great! HEHEHE

Now, if I can figure out how to stay out of trouble with the Mrs and prevent the police being called while training, this would be a miracle. I had to use my ultimate male skills of knowing her for over 20 years, just to encourage her to allow them in the garage, lol. :)



ROCK..........ON!

This touches on something I mentioned in another thread. The gym I use plays one of these "everything" stations. Essentially, it is an effort to be all things to all people. It doesn't work, in my opinion.
