Music is a topic that I get asked about A LOT from Instructors. It’s always been a complex topic, but with the rise of teaching virtually this year, everything Instructors thought they knew about music rights was flipped on its head. And that’s exactly why today's podcast episode is dedicated to the subject.

Today’s guest is Denise Imbesi, CEO and Founder of Muscle Mixes Music. Denise got into the music side of fitness back in the 80s - when people still used vinyl to teach a class! We chat about what life was like for a fitness Instructor back then, as well as everything an Instructor needs to know about music rights and restrictions in 2020.

We unpack the subjects of music rights, licenses and the key differences between teaching live and virtually. If you teach Group Fitness to music - particularly online, then this is well worth a listen.
