We live in the personal player age....mp3's, ipod's, et cetera. So why on earth do I need to have blaring over the p.a. system at the gym the whole time? Fear of silence and fear of offending the two or three people there without mp3 players is what drives it.
In fact, that one thing, that one seemingly little thing has made me so nuts that I have considered starting my own gym, with a strict policy against playing music over the p.a.
I don't want to go to the gym at all because of it. I complained once and the manager said "It is more for the employees than the guests" and I said "Why can't they just have it play at the front desk then?" She looked at me like I was crazy.
