Why is music a must-have for a gym?

The music in your gym drives energy, motivation, and pace. It has to keep members moving, mask machine noise, and support different workout zones — from high-intensity training areas to cooldown corners.

What does business music licensing include?

All Moodby tracks are licensed for commercial use, so you can stream background music in your business without breaking the law. Moodby also covers public performance rights, so you don’t need to chase separate licenses from local collecting societies.

What music is best for a gym?

The most effective gym music matches the BPM (beats per minute) to the workout intensity. For warm-up zones: 100–120 BPM (pop, upbeat acoustic). For cardio areas: 130–145 BPM (dance, electronic, upbeat pop). For weightlifting floors: 140–160 BPM (hip-hop, hard rock, EDM). For group fitness and HIIT classes: 150–175 BPM (high-energy dance, drill, trap). Moodby's gym playlists are built around these BPM ranges by music experts who specialize in fitness environments — no guesswork needed.

Can I play tracks from Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube in my business?

Keep in mind that consumer streaming services are for personal use only. Playing them in your venue without the correct licenses can lead to copyright claims, fines, or even lawsuits.

The sound of every session

Why gyms need licensed background music

Music can make a workout feel different. A meta-analysis of exercise and sport studies found that music was associated with more positive feelings, lower perceived exertion and improved performance across a range of activities. For gym owners, a soundtrack that fits each space can help create a workout experience members want to return to.

01 / The licensing question

A personal playlist doesn't cover your gym.

Playing music publicly in workout areas or classes requires the appropriate rights for the music and use. Consumer Spotify accounts are for personal listening and cannot be used for public playback in a business. YouTube videos should not be assumed to include public-performance rights.

Licensing requirements vary by location and by whether music is played in the gym, a class or another setting.

02 / The Moodby approach

One gym. Different energy in every zone.

Moodby provides a licensed music catalog for commercial background playback under its service terms. Give each area its own stream and manage the sound from one dashboard. Check the terms for your location and any instructor-led classes.
