I live for music (I’m a professional classical singer who specialises in the music of the Renaissance and Baroque) and I love all styles, but I really struggle to train if there’s music on. If I’m travelling and need to train in a commercial gym, fine, I can tune it out; but on my own at home - which is close to 100% of the time - I just relish the silence so I can be mindful in my training.
Funnily enough, though, if I’m in a ‘bodybuilding’ or barbell/dumbbell phase, I can tolerate music much more easily than if I’m focusing on kettlebell training. With the kettlebells, I find it takes more focus to make sure the technique is nailed on every rep, so I don’t want to be distracted if there’s enjoyable music playing.
