'Sounds like my work gym, the reason I bought an MP3. I work for the federal gov't so more than half the ppl are over 40 and sweat it to Gino Vanelli et al.

nothing at all.

I like hitting the gym when there's no one else there...or only a couple of people.

it's my meditative/introspective time...very relaxing and rejuvinating...one of the few times when music actually annoys me.

Lately it's been Saeed Younan, Joe Drust, and John Do, but I usually rotate new ones in, because this is my time for listening to all of the new stuff.

A 1.5-2 hour workout 4-5 days/week allows me about 7 hours to get these damn things into my ears.

yeah, that sometimes works for me too but in an empty gym with no music. Ironically, music also allows for introspection, meditative for some as well.

true...

maybe it's my backlash for the awful Galaxy radio they played at my old gym...I must have heard f**king "Satisfaction" and "Shiny Disco Balls" every goddamn time I was there. I quickly grew to hate both songs

trance while doing cardio is good...I found myself practically dancing on the eliptical trainer or treadmill more than once, lol...but now I just lift weights and prefer quiet.

At the moment, it's Fergie's Essential Mix from Global Gathering 2005, or a James Zabiela Essential or Kiss100 mix.
When I'm in the rock mood, various Tool songs.
