Why do gyms play such crappy music?

Monotonous techno monopolizes the sound system at my local gym. Is it really the best music for working out?

    My favorite

    music for working out is either of Babatunde Olatunji's Drums of Passion CD's: The Invocation or The Beat. Beautiful, steady rhythms, long tracks, virtuoso playing. Drums are the closest natural sound to the human heartbeat, and I find these albums warm and inviting as well as physically invigorating.

    Also, I really like C&C Music Factory's Gonna Make You Sweat. It's an older one, but it's perfect for physical exertion. Plus, it's funny too!
