Can I Use Custom Channels in a Gym or Fitness Studio?

Yes — licensed for general gym areas, but not for fitness classes or instructor-led workouts

You Can Use Custom Channels in Your Gym — With a Few Conditions

Custom Channels is licensed for use in public spaces within gyms and fitness facilities, such as:

  • Workout areas

  • Cardio floors

  • Weight rooms

  • Locker rooms

  • Member lounges

  • Front desks or welcome areas

However, we are not licensed for use in synchronized or instructor-led fitness classes.


Not Allowed: Music for Structured Classes

You cannot use Custom Channels as the soundtrack for:

  • Yoga

  • Spin

  • Pilates

  • Zumba

  • Jazzercise

  • Bootcamps

  • Any other instructor-led or choreographed session

These require separate synchronization rights that Custom Channels (and most streaming services) do not provide.


Allowed: Music in Member-Accessible Areas

You’re fully covered to play music in spaces that are:

  • Accessible only to gym members

  • Not used for live classes

  • Open to walk-in traffic for things like membership inquiries

Example:
If your gym has a combined front lobby and workout room where non-members can walk in to sign up — that’s allowed.

We can absolutely set up service for you in that scenario.
