this is a tricky one because if that music was played in your gym constantly then i would not join
and become a member for that sole reason
i can workout listening to anything from Phil Collins to happy hardcore but heavy metal/death metal just don't cut it for me other groups from me would be dance or trance something with a upbeat
you ain't ever going to please everyone all of the time
or........are the majority of your members into that kind of music

Have to agree to a point, lots of different tastes in peoples music so hard to please. Best option would be to have a few of those "best of" discs covering a variety of music genres.

Some days I can train to Bjork other days it takes a hell of a lot more to get me fired up so its Metallica or Disturbed.

most people that are in to lifting prefer the up beat of the rock, only had 1 (woman) comment on the music, most prefer it

dance music in this sort of gym is like going into a pub and asking for a barleywater

didnt know you'd moved the gym into a girls boarding school I dont think your eminem cd's will be allowed

Just play anything that wouldnt be at home on the x-factor. When I trained at the body academy one of the guys would always blast out some mad 80's stuff, I got totally into that depeche mode song 'Stripped', first time I ever heard that song was in there LOL!

Do you have to pay license fees for playing a radio station or satellite radio over there?

yes, have got licence for music already, for my gym it wasnt too bad a price, but if music plays in different rooms (changing rooms, studios etc) then there are additional charges

Whoa! I did not know that. What a rip.
I never did like when they put that in effect.

Your list is good and pretty non offensive, the only problem with running cd's is you get the deeper cuts which most people don't appreciate. Satellite or cable is probably the best way to go, with a station that includes a mix of what you have listed. Plus, the problem with cd's is once people find out you are playing cd's they will constantly nag you to play one of theirs. No matter how many times you refuse they will stay on you, like a little kid...or Cookie.

On a side note:
The best way to counter people who nag you to change the channel or play different music on hand is to buy a gospel or lame country western or soft rock cd and plug that in. This works really well and creates a very humorous atmosphere.

You also may consider setting up a time frame for "Death Metal" if you have a group that gets together once a week for max lifts like we did. Every Sunday morning we would get free reign for maxing out.

some good ideas there.............theres a couple of radio stations on line that would work, but they are not plugged into stereo system

i know what you mean about CDs etc i can play via i player doc, but again people want to put own one in and also risk of it being stolen


we have a rule that nobody that cant deadlift atleast 210kg (460lbs) is allowed to touch stereo, and any that can like the rock music.............win win and anyone desparate to change the music works hard at deadlifts

You do have that rule painted loud and proud on the wall for all to see, correct?
Great rule!

I can train with or WITHOUT music matey

[Melas Zomos]

You know this would be a good excuse to get that lifting stone.
You could call it the "Stone of Tune-age" and put a sign above the counter:
He who can't lift the rock, has no right to even consider changing the rock.
Of course since my english is so bad, we will have to run it through the resident English professor and I can train WITHOUT music mate, Cookie.
Back at you bro
