In Episode 11 of Surroundscapes Season 6, host Craig Cooper sits down with Rusty Green, Founder and CEO of Fit Radio, to explore how music, fitness, and technology come together to create energizing workout environments.
Rusty shares the story behind Fit Radio, a platform built to deliver curated, high-energy music specifically designed for group fitness. What began as a side project to share DJ sets from Atlanta nightclubs has grown into a trusted partner for major fitness brands like Orangetheory, Burn Boot Camp, and F45. Fit Radio’s expertly curated playlists, organized by genre and BPM, are designed to match every modality—from yoga and Pilates to high-intensity training and running.
The conversation touches on the importance of proper music licensing for commercial fitness spaces, an often-overlooked aspect of the industry. Rusty explains how Fit Radio ensures that all music played through its service is fully licensed for business use, protecting gyms from copyright issues while maintaining a seamless experience for members.
Fit Radio’s upcoming integration with Bluesound Professional brings that experience to a new level. Through Bluesound Professional’s scalable, high-performance audio systems, gyms can now enjoy easy access to Fit Radio’s curated content directly through the BluOS platform. The collaboration simplifies system setup for integrators while giving fitness operators reliable, high-quality sound tailored to every workout environment.
Rusty also gives a glimpse into Fit Radio’s future, including new AI-driven music tools that will allow instructors to build real-time, dynamically adaptive playlists perfectly matched to class formats. It’s the next evolution in fitness audio—bringing together innovation, creativity, and sound that moves people.
