Myself and other have complained but say they can't change it cos the same music is played through all nationwide branches at the same time (via sattelite) but the other branch i use plays much more underground stuff 
Does nothing to motivate you at all
Must get that MP3 player sorted.

Fitness First in Covent Garden is pretty cool! Some of the tunes I've heard there:
Rockin Music
Baby Make a Move (Step across the line)
So Many Times
Love Story
and more!!
Of course you do get the "hard dance" remixes of cheesey pop tunes aswell, but it's the best FF I've been to music wise!

Fitness First's are ok gyms in general, but i only use them cos i don't pay.
They're basically run by accountants.
Most of the instructors in our branches don't look like they've ever even trained
One of the new trainers in our gym came up to me a couple of weeks ago and said "good style on that exercise mate (lat pulldown) but need to keep your had forward a bit more" - WTF
I nearly said "not been funny mate, but have a look in the mirror before you start lecturing me"

You should have said somethingI went to a Cannons gym for a couple of years.
The instructors were all pretty toned, knowlegeable individuals but they were constantly hassling you.
Every time you turned round they would be someone lurking around trying to push and pull you into different positions and advise you on routines.
They would be trying to sell you exercise balls etc as well , presumably they were on commission ?
I didn't need that, if I want to know I'll ask.
Having said that they were friendly guys and genuinely interested in what you were up to.
I'm now at Fitness First and the contrast is amazing.
They are a right bunch of fat unfriendly gits !!
They look right through you when you try to make eye contact and just wander about aimlessly or lean against the wall chatting with each other.
Oh yeah , the music is pretty rubbish. I bought a CD player that was GUARANTEED to be jog proof.
No chance - after 10 seconds of ponderous loping the thing packs in and I just have to hum my own tunes and watch the magical internal lightshows in my own head

The instructors in "my" fitness first all look the part, and have the credentials to back it up (ex Marine, ex army, Martial arts coaches etc) , they only help when asked to as well which is good!
Drews right about it being run by accountants tho - you can see it in the way things take ages to get replaced, or fixed. Oh and they took ou the free scales and replaced them with ones you need to pay for! I mean 90% of the members are there cos of thee weight - whether to gain or lose it, and they start charging for what is a basic but essential piece of kit!
Instead of humming get a cheap 512mb MP3. Dont bother with the overrated/overpriced Ipod series, just get a basic one its well worth it. I think mine was 60quid, and its a life saver for cardio! Decent set of headphones that stay in are essential tho!
