    I don't know if this is for you or not, but I absolutely love this one: Durrough, Get Big. It's my go to song when I have to pump it up. I love it... has a great beat and it's almost like I'm dancing while running :)

    Personally I like Hardstyle, Its got some heavy beats altho it is a bit of marmite style music (either love it or hate it)
    Listen to these and see if its your cup of tea:

    Personally I find it great for keeping you going and charging you up for a good workout and burn. Crank your bass up to get the full effect :D

    I have seen a personal gym music list vary by what type of music that person likes in a general sense. I suggest making sure you keep to things with a fast tempo for running, or any type of cardio that you might be doing. I will list a few songs below that may help out. Best of luck.

    The Qemists - Stompbox
    Static-X - Skinnyman
    Apocalyptica - Life Burns!
    LL Cool J - Headsprung

    For me I turn to stuff that doesn't have a whole lot of slow songs:

    Daughtry, Linkin Park, Nickelback, Kid Rock and recently I've started doing my strength training to Jason Aldean -- just cause I :heart: him. lol

    many of the Rocky IV soundtrack songs. I hear that stuff and think of Rocky training and it motivates me.

    Billy Squire's 16 Strokes is a solid work-out album.

    There are a lot of 80s hard rock banks that I listen to. Def Lepard has some really good songs to work-out to (i.e., Woman, Photograph, Foolin, Rock of Ages, Animal, etc.). I like Poison as well (and, on a side note, one of my favorite hard rock songs is "Poison" by Alice Cooper).

    Celine Dion's "River Deep, Mountain High" is a nice work-out song.

    Some of MC Hammer's songs....Gaining Momentum, Pray, Please Don't Pass Me By

    I get bored if I don't know the words or if there aren't any words.

    I usually listen to Pandora on my iphone-- lots of different stations and I just skip through if the song's lame. Hole, Kittie, Gogol Bordello, Jack off Jill, The Beatles...
