Why Music Matters in Gyms
Licensed music for gyms plays a vital role in creating an energetic, motivating, and customer-friendly workout environment. The absence of music in a fitness center can lead to a drop in member satisfaction and even early walkouts. For most people, music is a key part of their exercise routine—it entertains, boosts physical performance, and enhances the overall gym experience.
Studies have shown that background music for fitness environments can improve member retention and increase profitability. Music helps members get into the zone, stay focused, and feel less self-conscious during workouts. It also reduces perceived effort, helping people push through fatigue and finish strong.
The benefits of music in gyms include:
✔️ Increased member motivation and longer workouts
✔️ Enhanced aerobic and anaerobic performance
✔️ Distraction from fatigue and discomfort during high-intensity sessions
✔️ Elevated mood and release of “feel-good” hormones
✔️ Improved focus and reduced self-consciousness in group fitness areas
✔️ A more engaging and energetic atmosphere that boosts brand perception
💬 “Music has the power to move us in a deeply physical way — especially during fitness. It energizes, distracts, and even alters pain perception.”
— Dr. Daniel Levitin, neuroscientist and author of “This Is Your Brain on Music”

FAQ: Can I Use Spotify at My Gym?
No, you cannot legally use Spotify at your gym for background music. Spotify’s terms of service clearly state that it is for personal, non-commercial use only. Playing music from a personal Spotify account in a commercial setting like a gym, fitness studio, or any other business environment violates both Spotify’s licensing terms and copyright law.
To play music legally in your gym, you must obtain the proper public performance licenses or use a licensed music service for business use. Please note that some exclusions may apply for instructor-led fitness classes. These services, such as Jukeboxy Music for Business, are specifically designed for commercial environments and include the necessary licenses from performing rights organizations (PROs) like ASCAP, BMI, SESAC in the U.S., and SOCAN in Canada.
