WE KNOW MUSIC LICENSING
Music is an integral part of group fitness and can add to the already great experience provided by your studio location. Part of using music in group fitness classes is ensuring that you are compliant with copyright law through the securing of public performance licenses. This is necessary so that music copyright owners can be appropriately paid for their work.

How Rock My Fitness Studio Can Help
Rock My Fitness Studio is a commercial and business music licensed service. Gyms and fitness studios also need to obtain Fitness Licenses to publically perform music in order to be compliant with copyright law. Please note, a Fitness License is a requirement from the licensing agencies, not from Rock My Fitness Studio. Rock My Fitness Studio can help you navigate and obtain a Fitness License from all 4 PROs.
Why FOUR Licenses Are Necessary
SESAC, ASCAP, GMR, and BMI all represent different artists. To ensure that you can play any artist regardless of who they are signed with, it is highly recommended to secure all four licenses so your business is fully compliant.
How to Secure These Licenses
To obtain proper music PERFORMANCE licensing for your studio(s) you will need to complete appropriate forms with ASCAP, BMI, GMR, and SESAC. ASCAP, GMR, and SESAC have the entire process online. For BMI, you must complete a paper form and FAX it (or upload it).
