So I was at the gym today annihilating my pecs on the bench press when a song by Linkin Park came on over the gym's speaker system. My testosterone level plummeted from the sheer mediocrity of the song and I was unable to finish my set.
Why do gyms find it necessary to pipe in music all the time? Why the hell would they want to FORCE their customers to listen to Celine Dion, Justin Timberlake, or some other horrid auditory monstrosity?
If a gym member feels the need to hear music while they work out they can bring an ipod. Does the upper management of the gym derive its pleasure from my torture?
