The new year is here, and it’s the perfect time to match your music with your members’ fresh goals, with fitness resolutions high on the list. But here’s the catch – around 60% of people ditch their fitness resolutions by the end of January. Keep their motivation up with customised background music for gyms and fitness centres, and more!
Creating an energising atmosphere with curated music playlists, engaging visuals, and a supportive community vibe, will motivate members to stay on track and make regular workouts part of their routine.
The Best Background Music for Gyms and Fitness Centres at Your Fingertips
At Nightlife, we curate high-energy dance, pop, R&B, and hip-hop tracks to motivate and engage your members. Our expert team ensures each song is perfectly selected and mixed for seamless transitions throughout workouts.
John Glancy from Body Fit Training (BFT) shares, “We wanted to take the hassle out of choosing songs and creating playlists, allowing our trainers to focus on what they do best – training members.” When the right track plays on the Nightlife system, the atmosphere changes. Members become more engaged, often interacting with each other – holding dance-offs, or singing and lip-syncing to the music. “We make sure to include a mix of singalong songs, pop hits, and nightclub-style beats.” Says Glancy.
Ben Batres, Lead Fitness Client Liaison at Nightlife, adds, “The impact of music on training intensity is undeniable. The right BPM and music style can make or break a workout. We’re highly conscious of how each track in our playlists affects the overall training experience.”

Create a Stronger Community to Keep Members Coming Back
The right music will keep members around – but creating a sense of community is also key. Research shows that when people feel connected, they’re more likely to hit their fitness goals.
Letting members interact with your music helps build that connection. Allowing song requests is a simple way to boost engagement and make members feel more invested in their fitness journey.
How can you make this happen? With Nightlife, you can display QR codes around your gym – on screens or signage, all branded with your logo. Members can scan the codes to access crowdDJ® and queue up their favourite workout tracks, giving them a sense of ownership and belonging. They can interact with your music and brand, even when you’re not around. One of the busiest times for member interaction on crowdDJ® is around 9 PM!
