MUSIC-OLOGY + PLAYLIST MASTERCLASS

MUSIC is one of, if not the most important aspect of the experience of a group fitness class. Nothing works faster to help transport your class away from the stress and weight of their everyday lives or inspire them to discover a better and stronger version of themselves within.

The problem is consistently creating epic playlists is HARD! Finding the right music and combining it into a cohesive class experience can take hours. And even if you put together a playlist of amazing tracks, it doesn’t mean it will have the desired effect on your class.

That’s why the Music-ology Masterclass is an essential course for group fitness instructors looking to elevate their classes with the power of music. Creating an epic class experience through your music goes well beyond putting a list of bangers together.

Together we’ll also explore the impact of music on human psychology and how to use science to harness its energy to create a truly epic, immersive concert-like experience your clients and members can’t live without and come back for over and over again.

By understanding the benefits of music and its role in enhancing motivation, emotion, and overall engagement, as well as the technical elements of music selection and playlist creation, you will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to transform your classes into unique, dynamic, high-energy events.

This workshop emphasizes the importance of the story arc in music and playlisting. I’ll provide expert tips on creating impactful playlists, selecting the right music for different stages of the workout, and understanding the impact of BPM on participant experience.

Tap into music's full potential and deliver unforgettable fitness experiences that will leave your people motivated, engaged, and empowered.

This Masterclass will cover:

1. Knowing your audience: Understanding your participants' age, musical preferences, and fitness goals will help you choose the right music for your class.
2. Consideration of tempo and energy levels: Learn the “magic” science of behind the use of BPM and select music that matches the intensity and pace for each section of your workout.
3. Exploring genres outside your go-to comfort zone: Incorporate different musical styles to keep your playlist fresh and engaging and define your own “Sonic Signature.”
4. Building a story arc: Organize your playlist to build from warm-up to peak intensity and then cool down and arrange your music in a way that always feels exciting and new for your clients.
5. How to use dynamic playlist tools: Utilize tools like Spotify or Apple Music that allow you to save and share playlists and curate playlists based on specific moods and genres.
