With local authorities facing unprecedented financial pressures, Pure Energy Music is emerging as a crucial solution for helping public leisure centres remain sustainable and competitive without compromising on the quality of their services.
As the UK fitness market continues to grow, now serving over 11.5 million members and achieving a 16.9% penetration rate, public-sector leisure operators are under increasing pressure to meet rising demand. With tighter budgets and aging infrastructure, many councils and leisure trusts are struggling to keep up with the expectations of modern members, particularly when competing with private-sector gyms that offer slick, immersive group exercise experiences as standard.
In this changing landscape, Pure Energy Music offers a smart, scalable, and budget-friendly alternative to traditional music licensing – without sacrificing quality. The platform delivers expertly curated, royalty-free playlists via a dedicated app built specifically for the fitness industry. With no need for complex licensing agreements, public operators can cut costs significantly while enhancing their group class offerings and user experience.
This solution comes at a particularly relevant moment. As Sport England continues to champion new approaches to investment and funding, and the Future of Public Leisure report explores how councils can adapt to a fast-evolving fitness sector, Pure Energy Music presents a model that fits seamlessly into these forward-thinking frameworks.
Already trusted by major national operators like David Lloyd Clubs and Everyone Active, Pure Energy Music is proving its value across the industry. It’s now in use at more than 450 UK leisure sites and by thousands of instructors nationwide. The platform supports every type of group class, from high-octane HIIT sessions and spin classes to low-impact yoga, Pilates, and mobility training, with professionally produced, fitness-optimised soundtracks that enhance both engagement and performance.
Andy Pickles, CEO of Pure Energy Music:
“Public leisure centres are at the heart of their communities, but many are stretched to deliver modern services on outdated funding models. Our platform is built to give them a competitive edge: cost-efficient, easy to implement, and scalable across multiple sites.”
For local authorities, the benefits extend well beyond soundtracks. By improving consistency and quality across group classes, the platform strengthens key performance areas that influence funding outcomes and community retention. Its intuitive design means less admin for instructors, streamlined updates, and no need for multiple licenses or legal reviews – saving valuable time and resources.
As public sector operators look to future-proof their services, solutions like Pure Energy Music are quickly becoming essential. In a sector where every pound counts and every member experience matters, the platform offers a powerful combination of innovation, affordability, and impact.
By emphasising user experience, operational simplicity, and long-term sustainability, Pure Energy Music is helping shape a stronger, more resilient future for public leisure—one beat at a time.
