Everyone wears headphones to block out the music with their own so why play it?

Because not everyone wears headphones Staff can listen to it It adds general background noise

Yes but it's music for cretins! Capital FM - music for simpleton's! We aren't all basic bitches and chavs!

Maybe not, but the average person is. So if you don't like it, wear headphones

the music in the gym drowns out my music, even on full blast. Besides, why should i have to wear headphones?

Well you don't have to, but then you will just have to listen to the crap music I guess. Not sure what else you want here? Ask them to change it, see how that goes

I'm on the spectrum (diagnosed) so it's impossible for me to block repetive and noisey music out. I can't afford to go to a high-end gym which may not have trashy music. I can't exercise outside because the pollution sets of my asthma and i have another condition which affects my breathing....so i guess i'll have to put on more weight and feel miserable....haha sorry too much information! I'm sleep deprived and Red Bull'd up.
