Members feel a flat playlist before they can name it. They also never hear about the new class, the referral offer, or the membership upgrade — because the only place you mention it is a poster by the door and a post nobody saw.
Whoever is on shift picks it. The 6am crowd and the 7pm crowd get the same thing, and neither quite fits.
The people most likely to book your Thursday class are standing on your gym floor right now, and nothing is telling them it exists.
Gyms are a well-known target for licensing enforcement — music is central to the experience, which makes it harder to argue it's incidental.
WHAT YOU'D ACTUALLY PLAY
High-energy through peak hours, steadier through quiet ones, scheduled once and repeating. Your announcements drop in between tracks — short, clear, and audible over the equipment.
CLASS PROMO
“Spin class Thursday at six. Sign up at the front desk — spaces go fast.”
REFERRAL
“Bring a friend this month and you both get a free week. Ask at reception.”
UPGRADE
“Upgrade to full membership for fifteen dollars more a month and get all classes included.”
HOUSEKEEPING
“Please wipe down equipment after use — sanitiser stations are at both ends of the floor.”
Type the words, pick a voice, and the spot is built for you — or record it yourself in one take.
The library covers a range including driving, uptempo tracks suited to a gym floor. It is not commercially released chart music — that's the trade-off that means there's nothing for you to license. Try it during the trial and judge the room's reaction.
Yes. Set calmer music for the mid-morning quiet and higher energy for the after-work rush. Scheduled once, repeats daily.
Music-forward businesses do get attention, because music is clearly part of the experience rather than incidental background. Playing a licensed-for-commercial-use library removes the question. More detail here.
They play at a consistent level relative to the music rather than at whatever volume the original recording happened to be, so they don't get lost. Keep them short — one sentence carries across a gym floor, three don't.
