Licensing
Many gyms are using consumer solutions like Spotify or Youtube to stream music every day.We love Spotify and it's a great music service, but unfortunately, it is for personal use onlyand not for commercial use. This means it can’t be played in gyms or any public places.
With GYM Radio, we have secured all necessary licenses from music rights holders so that you can play music in your gym and don't have to think about licenses, fees or fines for unlicensed music, ever.. you also save money on licenses as well.
However, in some countries, you must have a "public performance" right license that you can obtain from your local societies.
Let's break it down based on the countries:
