Sign here if you want the Radio OFF!

Just want to vent about the annoying habit my gym has of playing the radio over the speakers so loud it is clearly audible over your Ipod. Total Fitness Clairehall (Malahide Road) has FM104 :mad: at ear splitting levels especially in around the weights area. It's so annoying when you are trying to stay focused and can hear some awful ad for car insurance or the latest drearily slow mushy ballad from some boy-band over your preferred tune on your Ipod/Mp3 player.

Sign on here if you want your Gym to either lower the radio down or just switch it off altogether.

MM.

Cancell your membership immediately. There's people in Guantanamo listening to better stations than that!

What will that accomplish?

Just ask the people at reception? Surely that'd be a better start to solving your issue?

Was just looking to get an idea of how many people feel the same and would prefer the Radio Off or lowered down Vs how many people like having the Radio On.

Jeez, no need to get your knickers all in a twist. :rolleyes:

Not everyone has an mp3 player I'm afraid!

You're all grumps. I hate loud radio in the gym. It doesn't need to be ridiculously loud. I can hear it when the volume isn't 11.

I continually have to listen to MTV Dance.

"Releeeeeaaasse Meeeee."
Or "Pyromania Ow, Ow, OOOOOOWWWWWW."

I do not like this music.
But it is irrelevant.

I wouldn't mind a gym with Phantom FM.
RATM are on now. That would be awesome for kipping pull ups

I honestly think if you're focused on getting the job done these sort of things won't even come into your head!

TF Danger Zone has the same 3 cds (from 2004) on from 6 o'clock every day,

EVERY FÚCKIN DAY!

That is all.

The sound system in nuig gym plays the same 10 songs over and over again.
One song,which seems to be on repeat, is about a guy with a small dick. Nothing i like more than hearing the phrase "small small dick" over and over again :rolleyes:

Red Alert

I actually like the PA system on loud-ish, but CD's or Sat/Internet Radio only please. In Jackie Skelly they pipe in some music channel from the internet I think so the songs do get updated.

I was genuinely wondering at that too!.

I train in TF Clarehall and its something never I've noticed.

Nah OP, I ain't signing nowt.

Not everybody is bothered by it, id say its 50:50. I hate it too loud over my earphones, i also hate when the same f ing songs are on every day. If you are big into music i think it would bother you.

What a load of absolute bollócks - if you barely react to light, don't stop between sets, don't stretch, don't warm up/down, don't go to the drinks fountain etc. etc. you might not notice. :rolleyes:
