Hey - just as a matter of record, if you purchase a track from us and want a 2-second beep, just give us a call and we'll add it. You have to order it on CD or Flash Drive, but we'll add it for FREE!!
Great question.
I can't speak for our competitors, but the terms of agreement for Energym's music specify that the music is to be used only by the athlete for whom it is originally purchased:
"Customer's Rights & Obligations. The use of the sound recording, arrangement and lyrics embodied in...
Ok - I'm not an attorney, but we do know these laws fairly well since we want to stay strictly legit! So this is all to the best of my knowledge.

We've started releasing new music for the 2014 season!! We're really excited about the new tracks we'll be bringing you throughout the year.
What you'll see now is a great sneak peek at the new stuff. We'll be releasing more tracks as we get them finished.
New songs now up include...
We encourage our customers to have us do the edits. We have the original files and can make them sound musical and "not like edits".
She might want to think about having us do a custom mashup for her where we combine two songs into one. It costs a bit more, but she'll have a track unlike...
Some great comments! For non-cheesy orchestral and dramatic pieces, make sure to check out our Energym Original tracks. And there will be more of those in a few weeks.
Thanks txgymfan!
Keep the ideas coming!
We are working hard in the studio to bring you some of the best new floor tracks ever heard! We would love to have your input, though.
If you have a great song idea for a floor track, send us an email to info@energymmusic.com and we'll be sure to consider it!!
Thanks JClaire21!
We have one minute versions of every song we sell, and you can hear the entire demo of every version for free on our website, so check 'em out!
Please be aware that ripping music off of YouTube is illegal.

We're heading out today to be at the Region 1 Congress in Santa Clara, CA. If you happen to be there this weekend please do stop by and say hi! You can also pick up a free demo CD.
See you there!
We're getting ready to head to the National Congress in Hartford, CT this week August 15-17. If you're there, please stop by our booth and say hello! We love meeting our wonderful Chalk Bucket friends. You can also pick up a free demo CD from us.
See you there!!
Hey! We've extended this offer to include edits of :45 as well since we've been getting requests for this length too. So again, order the short version by CD only - and type in either "120" OR "45" in the field where we ask the name of your gym.
We hope you'll check out our music. Each track we sell is specially arranged by us to be perfect for floor routines. We already have all the various timings and lengths you might need. Every piece complies with the rules for music. We NEVER edit someone else's track (this would be illegal)...
