    Spin class music

    I agree that music in Spin class is absolutely paramount to whether I enjoy the class or not. I go to the same two instructors very early in the morning because they generally play the kind of music that pumps me up-- a great mixture of 80s rock and all-over-the-map from more 80s rock to New Age. I really don't care what kind of music is playing in the rest of the gym while I'm lifting because I'm either concentrating too hard on what I'm doing or I'm chatting with other members.
