I had to change gyms because that one got overcrowded . So i joined this yuppie gym now im the biggest dude there and theres no lines to get on the equipment. Only problem is my old gym played hard rock on the stereo , New gym play's gay backstreet boys type music . How the hell am i supposed to get pumped listening to britney spears. I cant wear headphones they just get in my way .

I personally like all types of music... but i prefer to work out in
Techno.............. especially when i'm doing cardio... very up lifting..

I listen to Rock and Roll when I want to relax. For the gym, its Pantera all the way. I mean come on, they have a song called Stronger Than All. I have yet to hear better music. Official Live, The Great Southern Treadkill, Far Beyond Driven, and Vulgar Display of Power are all great albums.

Originally, the gym I go to played hard rock and trance the whole time, which was great.

About 4 months ago, they thought it would be a nice idea to research what the punters would like when they're training. Now, Berkshire is not the best county for gym options, so we've quite a range of gym-goers, including a strong element from the "Blue Rinse" brigade.

The blue rinsers insisted the music was "too violent", and that young folk these days need a calming influence. Now when I go to the gym in the afternoon, the Blue Rinsers are walking (WALKING, for God's sake!) on the Power Joggers, and we all listen to Easy Listening, or a prehistoric Brit DJ called Jimmy Young (kind like Jonnie Carson on valium).

Be warned; this could happen to you too.

My plan is to sneek in an Iron Maiden CD, jack up the Vol, and induce a few coronaries, thereby elliminating the Blue Rinse problem entirely

You guys should feel lucky, My gym doesn't play shit, nor do they have TV's!

[dumbells101]

Classic rock primarily

[gust5]

thats the music for a work-out

[Tankass]

RageControl where on L.I?

[gymnut4u]

I feel your pain bro ,I just got a mp3 player and make my own steel slinging music.

[flawless706]

My gym puts on talk radio in the morning and easy listening in the evening (at least I think they still do). Its forced me to have to buy headphones and play my own shit, I bring 2 CD's, one of heavy death metal for lifting one of trance for cardio. Only problem is I busted 2 portable Cd players in the span of 6 months at the gym. But give me Metallica for 60 minutes and I'll have a workout that leaves me twitching.

[Nico]

Techno, House, Trance- Johnothan Peters' mixes

Everybody will hate me but I love the Pet Shop Boys and their albums always motivate me in the gym.

Tomb of the fucking mutilated!!!!!I love that album!!!!!Hammer smashed face is THE most rage inducing song I've ever heard-

[MindBomb]

only listen to music during cardio...I listen to my inner demons while lifting...Rush 2112

[Mr. Trenton]

The 3 types of music that I listen to are metal, rap, and club. I used to listen to rap or club at the gym and I got a little tired of it, and there are some groups like Mobb Deep and Wu-Tang that get me pumped but I can't listen to it all the time, its gets boring and so does club. So, then look search around my room for the music I grew up listening to, Metal. I can't get enough of it at them gym. I love to listen to old Metallica(the first five albums), Slayer(I love most of their older shit, like Reign In Blood, South of Heaven and Seasons In The Abyss, haven't really heard that much of their new shit), old Megadeth, old Testament, Morbid Angel, Mercyful Fate, and there's some other shit that I really can't think of now. But metal 99% of the time gets me pumped unreal.

[Babyweight]

IMO...metal goes with metal. Any other time, I like dance & alternative rock.

[9natural9]

opera

[DirkDiggs]

I usually tune all music out unless they are playing that elevator music....really pisses me off I feel like sleeping not lifting

[eradikate]

RnR baybee!!!

[Kärnfysikern]

Rammstein (the old albums)
Pantera
Iced earth
Pain
Rob Zombie (superbeast rocks)
Rhapsody

[Kärnfysikern]

Ohh almost forgott my favorit
Knorkator- Böse

[testprop]

rock or hip hop/rap

[lil red]

Me and Drop Dead Fred are both country to the soul, but I have to agree with the majority here...Rock and Roll is the way to go when you want to get pumped...It's amazing what kind of effect it has on you...Our gym plays a lot of Brittany Spears type of music and it does nothing but piss us off and unmotivate us...I think we could get that extra pump if the sounds around us gave us an attitude instead of a teenage complex...
Lil Red

[Trianon]

I have "The Greatest Themes from the films of AS", I recorded a mix MD with Anvil of Crom (looped), some Rob Zombie, some System F. Our PH gym music is OK, but if I really want to get into character, I play that MD...

[jon]

Nothing better than some solid house beats

[CLK Davey]

TRANCE IS WHERE ITS AT!! i swear i lift so much more when trance is pumpin, i work out in a 21-30 yr old crowd..rock wouldnt be appropriate at my gym.

Sound Factory 4 LIFE

[LittleMeth]

The best music for me when i work out is hard shit! KoRn, Static-X, System of a down etc... It gets your adrenaline goin a makes you go nuts.

[Dbolaholic]

Gym music, all gyms should play slipknot and nothing but!

[Farmer]

For you guys that like the rap music while working out try getting ahold of some Tech Nine. I listen to them all the time, its a fast paced rap, get the song "Einstein", I guarantee you'll be ready to rip shit up

peace

[devilscabanaboy19]

It's all about hardcore shit like Slipknot, Disturbed, Metallica, etc..

[TheDfromGC]

i like techno and trance music the most but generally i dont listen to it cause i can never find a good cd player or walkman that doesnt get in the way when working out

[TheDfromGC]

if u into techno listen to voodoo and serano (blood is pumping, this is acid) these are gauranteed to get u pumped

[Parker]

My old gym used to play all that mixed garbage(i.e. spears, nsync, etc.). Headphones didn't work for me so I opted for ear plugs instead. My gym in college now doesn't play any music but I hate it cuz you hear all the people's ridiculous conversations of their love lives and what not. I trained at Ronnie Colemans' gym Metroflex last summer and they BLASTED hardcore metal like Prodigy and Rage Against the Machine, then Ronnie showed up and they started blasting hardcore rap. They play it so loud you have to yell to say something to someone and you can here the gym from the street (cuz its in an old bodyshop and they leave the doors open). It was the most hardcore gym I have ever been to and can't wait to go back this summer I love metal and hard rock particularly old Metallica but can't forget the classics like Rocky theme music- those songs are good because they make me think of Rocky training in the cold isolated mtns. of Russia, kicking some ass, and victory -"getting strong now!...pumping up now!...training hard now!" definately good music to warm up to before blasting the serious stuff.

[TheDfromGC]

where his gym located?

[Pheedno]

Most people from Houston will know DJ Fusion-His trance gets it going and I'm due for another trip Atomic music real soon

[Parker]

KK-Ronnie's gym is in Arlington, TX. The website for it is www.metroflexgym.com

[DC24]
