Gym music that fuels motivation: Why background music matters

We all know the right music can either enhance or detract from an experience, whether you’re at the gym, shopping, or enjoying a meal with friends. Research has shown that music has a powerful effect on consumer behavior, influencing emotions, moods, and even purchasing decisions. In an interview, Feed Media Group’s COO and Co-Founder, Lauren Pufpaf, discusses how background music can, in fact, make or break the customer experience.

In addition to creating a welcoming environment and communicating the brand vibe, gym music must support the members’ energy, motivation, and focus. Fortunately, Feed.fm has over 10 years of experience in helping fitness and wellness brands soundtrack their user experiences using science-backed composition and curation strategies.

The January rush is real, and you want to be ready

In early January, gyms and fitness studios experience a surge of new members inspired by their New Year’s resolutions to get fitter and healthier. You’ll also see returning members you haven’t seen in a while, fired up and ready to get back to their fitness and workout routines. From the moment they walk in the door, you’ll want to provide maximum support, and that includes welcoming them with motivating background music.

Feed.fm research on the January rush showed a 20% increase in fitness app users in January 2022 compared to the previous month. For in-person gyms and fitness studios, 12% of users sign up for gym memberships in January, making it the busiest month for welcoming new members. But turning resolutions into long-term commitment is a task that members need help with. By making use of the best gym music, businesses can increase member engagement and retention while at the same time motivating members to crush their fitness goals.
