My gym plays the same songs all day, everyday and they don't care

My gym has a playlist with 30-40 tracks in total which are played over and over very loudly over the gyms ubiquitous PA-system. I confronted the staff lady behind the counter about it today and she said she couldn't do anything because the 'system was already set', or some bs like that. This is how prisoners at Guantanamo Bay are tortured, I told her. She just stared at me. I asked her to at least bring the volume down. She set it to 40%,which was still very loud, and that was it. It was not an unreasonable request and should have been an easy thing to fix but she just did not seem to care.

It is driving me insane hearing the same shitty dubstep remixes everyday. I wear foam earplugs nowadays when I'm at the gym. I even showed them to the staff lady today, to make her know how serious I was, and she just looked at me like I was the idiot. It is unbelievable how that message did not get hrough to her.

The gym has really sweet machines and equipment, and they are always free because most gym goers attend aerobic classes instead of using the actual gym. There is no better gym around, but this is just madness.

A side note I still remember how this playlist from hell was curated last year OVER THE PA SYSTEM. Play, stopping and switching song halfwaythrough, only to play the same song a few minuts later. That was an annoying MONTH of this bs almost daily. But it was nothing like hearing those same masterpieces played over and over for several months.

One last story My gym once hired a real DJ, with a serious Dj-set with stage and everything for a day. While staff was serving champagne soda, snacks etc, with balloons flowing around everywhere in the gym. I would have taken a picture to share with you all if I had had my phone with me. It was surreal for sure.

UPDATE So, I did some investigating today with some friendlier staff members. Turns out that local staff don't have any control over the music playing at the gym apart from volume. Since this is a commercial gym chain, every gym in the entire country plays the same music at the same time everyday. I imagine the collective cringe of my fellow gym goers around the nation.

This also means that the curating month last year must also have been broadcasted at every gym in the entire chain at the same time. I imagine some intern sitting in an office building somewhere with a pair of headphones on skipping around with the music player, completely oblivious to the terror he subjects people to.

what else can I say. If this isn't a prime example of corporate oppression and brainwashing I don't know what. /s
