Deb,

You should have your sista MW mix you some CD's...man is she good at it!

She probably could voice in herself as DJ with your gym name and any specials you are running..she has done this before.

I am listening to one now that has a blues song called Home...I forget the artist.. It has one heck of a beat that is great to run on the mill with..and pumps me up for bench presses.... Wana look at my abbs? Wink

Mr. Green


Excellent Idea, I'm gonna talk to her. My partner actually wanted to do that voice stuff on the CD's. I'm like yeah sure WTF ever. Not my voice though.

And I need to see the commercial. Hook me up?

you know a lot of dance mixes have an instrumental version. Techno has lots of difference cadences.

Over the PA. For 5 years we have allowed music on a first come first serve basis as long as it wasn't offensive. Too many issues so we ware gonna now control it ourselves.

I'm not sure how much the cost is. At the fitness center I use, there are headphone jacks on each piece of equipment with 10 different selections to tune in to radio stations, cd's that vary or the 5 tv's that are suspended up front. It's nice because the place is quiet if you don't have headphones, but it's a wide selection if you do want something to listen to.
They used to have the PA system like you have. Personally, I didn't care for it. dunno

You're gonna have to have something for the younguns like myself. 2 most popular radio stations in the gym are modern rock stations. Should have different playlists for different people. Then they could request a playlist, but it's still controlled by us. That way everybody gets a choice Mr. Green

Just a suggestion boss

please don't hurt me Embarassed

This is darn near the exact same set-up at the center I go to (and you have been there, Deb), except you don't have CD access, and it is noisier.
