Hey again. Last time I went to the gym, I tried using earphones to listen to the TVs they have setup
in the cardio room. But I found that as I ran, every few seconds I would get an electric shock in my
ears. I was able to prevent it by touching the metal support bar on the treadmill, but keeping
constant contact with the treadmill is seriously throwing off my rhythm and endurance.
Has anyone else received shocks from the treadmill, particularly via earphones? If so, how did you
prevent it?

Tell them to properly ground the treadmill.

Ouch! No, can't say that's my experience, and I have done quite a bit of running on any number of
treadmills at my gymn.

I thought I was going crazy. That same thing happens to me on certain treadmills at the gym I go to.
I guess I will ask them to see if it is grounded.
