I love music with my outdoor classes. I don’t teach “to the beat,” though. It’s more of a motivating background than a pace-setter.

That said, my music for bootcamps tends to be about 135 beats a minute, and it tends to be rock and roll. High energy, not too slow, but not played too loud, either.

I think it can be a good idea, something up beat, instrumental. It’s more stuff to bring however, and some people find it distracting, like other people in the community.

I think it’s a good idea.

I do think one has to put together a very good music list that motivates the participants to go for the gusto as opposed to following the rhythm.

Fraser Quelch has chose some really nice heavy metal music in his boot camps. Although I have never purchased any heavy metal music, I was surprised how motivating it was in that environment.

I agree with Shawn and Susan, but you can experiment with your group and see what works.

NONE!

No Music is a good thing in this case

Bootcamp is about not being distracted, working as hard as you can and focusing on that!
