Top tips for gyms
One benefits of using background music at the gym is that it can distract you from the pain and discomfort of exercise, which would decrease gym engagement and membership.
One popular way to enjoy music at the gym is by listening through headphones; however, this has its disadvantages. Besides being somewhat unsafe to use when exercising on a treadmill, it is much better to have an engaging playlist in the gym itself.
The right background music can increase your productivity in the gym causing the members to renew and refer new members. Contact us today for your perfect playlist of background music for gyms.
Do I need a license to play music in my gym?
If you play music in your shop or business premises you will be required by law to have TheMusicLicence from PPL PRS. The payments received from business owners for TheMusicLicence then get passed on to composers, lyricists, recording artists, musicians, music publishers and record companies. Example: If you play music to customers on a shop floor (100 sqm or less), your combined yearly music licence for a retail shop could cost around £307 (excluding VAT). A 50% surcharge may be applied if music has been played before being correctly licensed.
Higher rates apply for larger premises.
Can I use web based streaming services like Spotify, iTunes Radio, Napster, etc to play music in my gym?
