YOUR MUSIC IS LAME. Your music is unmotivating. Your music is too quiet. Your music is drowning out your voice. It's too old, too slow, too new-agey, TOO 80s, off-beat!! Your music is basically everything I don't want.

For the very (very) few of you who got it right, we absolutely adore you and thank you.

HOWEVER, even if your music is outstanding, it's not going to be perfect for everybody and certainly not perfect all of the time.

Do any of you realize how many customers you alienate because of horrible music options?

Honestly, "Music Off" technology has been around a very long time. USE IT. I don't care if you think that your workout can't be done without your particular play list, and I REALLY don't care if you think you've "composed" the perfect music for your workout, I guarantee that you are wrong.

If you want us to do your workout more than once (and I'm assuming it would be financially beneficial for that to be the case) let us turn your horrible music off!!

Thank you for listening

Me, too! I'd so much rather have just the voice than endure bad music.

SERIOUSLY!

It would be really great if they also provided BPMs, so they can be matched with whatever music we want.

Even the best music is irritating after listening to it the 10th time, too...
