An irritating aspect of the modern gym-culture, is being bombarded by
someone else's idea of inspirational music (trans. crappy pop music) at
high volume, from sound systems which cannot cope The result of this echos
around the reflective surfaces of the gym, resulting in an cacophony which
can only be distinguished from "noise" by the fact that it has a beat.
The local gym has just run a survey (which I did not participate in ...
silly me) of what music is prefered. The result, suprise suprise, was that
pop/rock was most popular. Pity they didn't have the option of a "No music
at all" category.
Never mind, I really only go there just to use the swimming pool, and
thankfully, they have yet to try and pump underwater music into the pool.
