I personally wouldn't care; I think I'm more offended by country music. If it's a private establishment I respect their right to play crap music. If it bothered me greatly I'd find a new place.
That being said if it was government or funded by the government then I'd have a problem. The YMCA for instance, as far as I know, is still funded by the government at least in part. At that point I feel that it is government pushing a religious agenda.

Are there no other gyms there? Do you wear ear plugs? Do you ever feel suicidal thoughts creeping into your brain when you are there?

Honestly, in the gym I love to play some raging heavy metal to get me amped.
But to tell the truth, I love to listen, and play a lot of Classical music, mainly Bach or Vivaldi. who were very religious, and were inspired for their love of god that made them write such beautiful pieces. I don't feel the same reverance to god when I listen to their music, or when writing my own. But I sometimes do not care where the inspiration comes from, to me the music speasks for itself.

If I were going to your gym, @EmeraldJewel, I'd be annoyed. But then again, some of the non-religious music they play at the gym I don't go to as often as I should is annoying also, not so much for the content of the lyrics but the awfulness of the music that those damn kids are listening to these days.

(Old man now shakes fist at cloud and tells kids to get off his lawn.)

Great .. better than hop-hip.

Head phones...

Kinda like when I go to one of my local McDonald's or this auto repair place and they always have Fox News on TV. I wish they would choose a different channel but can't do much about it.

I can’t really understand how anyone could get their “sweat on” to light acoustic ramblings about Jesus. Lolol

I would just bring my iPhone and listen to my own music. That way I can create my own playlist to what gets me pumped up instead of rolling the dice on whatever music they decide to play.

If it’s a privately owned gym, you have no real say in what the play. I mean, you can pull your membership but it won’t change anything. If it’s a corporation that runs it, like 24 Hour Fitness, then you have a few options by complaint to management or sending an email to their headquarters. But again, that likely won’t do anything.

I find it loathsome anywhere.

It sounds as if the person working there is imposing his religious beliefs on you by playing the music of his or her religion. If they advertised as a Christian owned gym,then that would be one thing,but if they didn't then they are stepping over a line. You have a right to complain. I am sure a Christian would complain if Satanic music was being played. If they have that right,then so do you.

I speak up, nicely, and let them know there are some that are not thrilled with the choice.

Eww...

Yeah WHY?! That is terrible! Not just as an atheist but as a human being with ears!

Nope, I'd ask for it to be changed or change gyms.

Totally wrong!

Well, I would not be motivated to exercise to Christian music. But, I get my back up at all Christian music in the greater public space, because in the past it has been used to manipulate for their beliefs! I might tolerate music without words...but most Christian music with words, just irritates me now!

I'd be asking them to change it because it was offensive to me.
If they didn't, I'd be asking to end my membership.

Not appropriate.

It’s unacceptable to play music with an agenda in a place that should be welcoming to a cross-section of society.

I would have no issues with it as a private business and my choice and decision if I wanted to continue to be a member, for whatever reason.

I would complain. I am a due paying member so I will make my voice heard.

It's no fun but in the gyms I've gone to it only makes an appearance mixed with other kinds of music. My current gym (part of a national chain) gets complaints about the music all the time. Whatever they play, someone is going to going to be angry. If they played Christian music (or anything I didn't like -- heck, the other day I ran faster because some guy was playing some pop music I didn't want to hear) for long periods that annoyed me, I would look into bringing my own music to the gym. I might consider switching gyms if I thought it would help or if it made sense (time on contract, other gyms, etc.).

Its not cool, they should play normal music that members wanna listen to , i would put my opinion in they're management team lols

I’m more offended by so many TVs in public spaces (waiting rooms, gyms...) having Fox News on.
