What are the different music licence options for my gym?

Clarity on your gym’s music-licensing options:

1. Directly licensed ‘rights-included’ music (no PPL or PRS licence needed)
   
   • Music made specifically for fitness and group exercise
   • All rights are cleared by the supplier, so no PRS or PPL licences are needed
   • Cost-effective + simple

2. PRS licence + PPL-free music (e.g. covers)
   
   • Re-recorded versions of popular songs, originally made for commercial release (radio, streaming, etc.)
   • Doesn’t need a PPL licence, but you still need a PRS licence (to cover the songwriter)
   • Mid-range cost (you pay licence fee and music supplier separately)
     
     
3. PPLPRS licence + original recordings of commercial songs
   
   • The original, well-known versions of commercial releases that you hear on the radio or streaming platforms
   • Requires both PRS (songwriter) and PPL (recording) licences
   • Most expensive option (you pay licence fee and music supplier separately)
