FAQ:

ask us
anything

In short: yes! You’re stepping into the world of performance royalties when you play music in a public space, especially in a fitness studio or gym. These fees are essential for compensating the songwriters and composers behind the tracks that make your classes come alive. It’s not just a small thing either—performance royalties are required by law, and not paying them can result in hefty fines.

 

If you’re playing music over your gym’s sound system, whether a background jam or a high-energy class, you’re responsible for covering royalty fees. Trust us; missing out on these payments could bring legal consequences worse than hitting the wrong note during karaoke. In the USA, Performance rights organizations (PROs) like BMI, SESAC, ASCAP, and GMR have one job: ensuring rightsholders are compensated for using their music. If your gym isn’t paying its dues, these PROs might come knocking, and that’s a rhythm you don’t want to mess with.

Just like you wouldn’t attend a fitness class in slippers, you can’t use just any music service for your gym. Personal services like Spotify or Apple Music are perfect for solo sessions but aren’t licensed for business use. When running a gym or fitness studio, you need a service that’s made for the job—like VIBES. Our playlists are created with fitness classes in mind and fully licensed commercially. That means you’re staying legal while delivering the best music experience to your clients.

To avoid hitting the wrong note (legally speaking), you need:

1. A commercially licensed music service (VIBES has you covered here!)

2. A music performance license for public spaces. You can file the paperwork directly with the PROs (sounds about as fun as lifting a barbell with no warm-up, but it’s necessary!)

Good question! Personal music services are designed for—you guessed it—personal use. Think headphones, not loudspeakers. These services can’t legally be used in public spaces like gyms. VIBES, on the other hand, was made for the fitness world. We’re fully licensed to keep the music pumping legally in your classes. Plus, we ensure the artists are properly compensated so everyone’s happy—artists, gym owners, and clients alike.

While VIBES ensures that the music we stream is fully licensed, there’s another step involved: as a business owner, you need a music performance license to play those tracks in a public space. It’s part of copyright law and ensures that artists get their share for their work. Skipping out on this could lead to fines or even lawsuits—up to $150k per violation. Not a great way to end a workout, right?

 

Music licensing isn’t just about paying fees—it’s about supporting the artists who create the songs that fuel your classes. From old-school legends like Stevie Wonder to today’s chart-toppers like Taylor Swift, the creators behind the music deserve to get paid for their work. And we’re here to ensure that happens easily for you.

You might think, “If I pay one organization, shouldn’t that cover everything?” Unfortunately, no. Different PROs may represent different rightsholders. For example, Whitney Houston’s famous rendition of “I Will Always Love You” involves both Dolly Parton (who wrote the song and is represented by BMI) and Whitney herself (who is represented by ASCAP). To stay legal, you need to be in good standing with all the PROs representing the music you’re using—and we’re here to help you navigate that!

Music licensing fees are based on several factors, like the size of your gym, how many classes you run, and the number of people attending. The more ears tuning in to the music, the higher the fees—but it’s all about supporting the artists who keep your classes fresh and fun.

While your VIBES subscription covers the music you play, you’ll still need music performance licenses for public playback in your business. But here’s the good news: as a VIBES subscriber, we can help you manage those licensing fees! Simply shoot us an email for your free licensing consultation.

FAQ:

On Demand
Videos

Sync licensing gives you legal permission to use music in your fitness videos by allowing you to combine (or “synchronize”) music with your workout routines. Without sync licensing, using music in your on-demand content can result in legal issues, fines, and your videos being removed. It ensures you’re compliant with copyright laws and avoids any unpleasant surprises.

Not without the proper sync licensing. While you may love a particular song, adding it to your on-demand workout videos without licensing can lead to legal problems. Instead, use licensed music options, like those provided by VIBES Music, to keep your content legal and high-quality.

 

VIBES Music takes care of the sync licensing process, providing you with fully licensed tracks from real artists that you can legally use in your fitness videos. This eliminates the hassle of acquiring licenses on your own, allowing you to focus on creating engaging workouts.

Using unlicensed music can result in fines, legal action, and the removal of your content. To avoid these risks, it’s essential to ensure that every track you use in your videos has the proper sync licensing.

No, sync licensing is specifically for on-demand videos or content where music is synchronized with visuals. However, proper licensing is still required for music used in live classes. VIBES Music also provides commercial licensing options for live sessions with our app service.

VIBES Music offers original tracks from real artists, delivering a higher quality and more authentic listening experience than generic or royalty-free music. It helps maintain the energy and engagement of your classes, ensuring your audience gets the best experience.

Simply email us at hello@musclemixes.com to discuss your sync licensing needs, and we’ll help you find the perfect music solution for your fitness videos and classes.
