On the gym floor and in live classes
Playing music to members is a public performance. Gyms usually cover it with licenses from collecting societies (for example ASCAP and BMI in the United States, PPL PRS in the United Kingdom, SIAE and SCF in Italy) or through a music service for businesses. Personal streaming accounts are for personal use only.
Online classes, apps and gym ads
A class filmed for online video, a workout app or a gym ad puts the song together with pictures. That needs a sync and master license, requested directly at elyaz.com/licensing.
Common questions
- Can a gym play music from a personal Spotify account?
- No. Spotify’s terms allow personal, non-commercial use only. Gyms use licenses from collecting societies or a music service for businesses.
- Do fitness instructors need a music license?
- For live classes in a gym, the gym’s licenses usually cover the music. For classes filmed or streamed online, the songs need a sync and master license, and the online performance also goes through collecting societies.
- What BPM is good for spin classes?
- It depends on the ride. Four songs here run at 126 or 128 BPM, and two at 155 and 156 for faster sections.
