I listen to anything with a strong beat when I'm training. I have a set of 30 mins of songs that I use for really hard (i.e. HR>195) stuff because I need to focus on staying alive then but otherwise I try to keep a lot of variety in it.

Faithless and the Artic Monkies are brill I wreckin!

upbeat with a strong tempo for running (fatboy slim chemical bros the killers)
aggressive for weights (rob zombie system of a down rage against the machine)

Degsy

Rammstein ftw!!

I have been listening to Gym class heroes lately and find it very motivating while working out

Smellyirishman

(probably not to your taste!)
Disturbed, Devil Driver, old Slipknot, Children Of Bodom, In Flames, Static-X, Pantera. Something along those lines is usually enough to keep me pushing through a weights session, although it does result in some mighty face pulling.

Scuba_Scoper

Bonnie Tyler, The Wolfe Tones. Makem and Clancy, Luke Kelly, Brendan Shine,



What? You never tried a deep squats to The Auld Triangle. pffft !! You haven't lived

yop

Celine Dion, Tanita Tickeram, Daniel O'Donnell, Donna & Ginger head

FunkZ

Eye of the Tiger on repeat, oh yeah!

I like movie soundtracks.
Last of the Mohicans and Gladiator are good.

It's uplifting music and you can imagine yourself in the lead role doing impressive stuff.

Might sound stupid to others, works for me

i find the kitsune maison mixes quite good for the gym!

Marathon Man

Over the top 80's all the way e.g.

after listening to that I'm off for a run.

Odysseus

A mixture of Eminem, Prodigy and chemical brothers for me, but I always finish up a race over a training session to ride of the valkyries, it a bit of a performance cue for me, when I hear that its time to dig deep.

J.S. Pill

Theres this one instructor dude in my gym who likes to listen to the frames, paddy casey etc. when he's working. He clearly has absoloutely no consideration for us gym users who pay his wages. Every time I see this guy on duty my heart sinks.

My iPod shuffle is missing in action at the mo so there's nothing I can do except bear it.

Somebody had the good taste to put on Guns n' roses the other day though - nice

I also like the kitsune maison mixes. I listen to something with a strong beat to start off with such as the Prodigy, Daft punk, Faithless, Felix DHC, Les Rythmes Digitales etc.

Then when I get tired and really need to push myself hard I listen to angry music like Nirvana and some of the metal stuff I like which is not much. Keeps me pumped and busting through all the walls my weak and pathetic body can throw at me!

Sangre

I really hate gyms that play loud music (or music at all). surely 90% of people have some sort of music player in this day and age.

Try a bit of Pendulum and Prodigy mixed in with some Rage Against the Machine (a good song is the Bombs over Baghdad Remix by Rage against the machine!)

Sleepy

Prodigy, Cheesy 80's, Placebo's faster tracks, Therapy?, Rocky Theme Songs, Need to put together a playlist though, largely end up flicking for stuff on the i-pod at the moment.

im with Odysseus on this one!

I like confusion, by new order. The pump panel mix. It's the song from the start of blade, when he's in club blood.
