About Instructor Music
Discover how music built for 32-count choreography helps fitness instructors keep every class moving.
Original Artist Sound
Teach with the recordings your class knows—not cover-band versions.
Made for the Movement
Count on aligned phrases and continuous mixes that keep your choreography flowing.
Built by an Instructor, for Instructors
I started phrasing workout music to 32 counts in 2003. Since 2016, I’ve carried that work forward under the Instructor Music name, creating playlists that make it easier to lead confident, energetic classes. Each mix uses original artist recordings, places musical phrases where your choreography expects them, and moves between songs without gaps. Choose Separate Tracks to skip between songs or Non-Tracked for one continuous MP3; most playlists offer tempos from 126 to 156 BPM, while cycling playlists use a tempo suited to each song. Original artist playlists are for in-person classes; for live-streamed or recorded classes, choose our Royalty Free playlists. Prefer streaming? Find every Instructor Music playlist at 32CountFitness.com. Our support team is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM Pacific. Rusty Mann, Founder, Instructor Music.

How to Choose Music for Your Class
Match your playlist to where your class happens before you press play.
1
Identify Your Class Setting
Decide whether you’ll teach in person, stream live, or share a recording.
2

Choose original artist playlists for in-person classes; use Royalty Free playlists for streamed or recorded classes.
3

Select the available format and tempo that suit your session, then cue up your music.
Prefer to Stream Your Playlists?
Every Instructor Music playlist is also available to stream through our sister site, 32CountFitness.com. If streaming fits your teaching routine better than downloading files, explore the same playlist selection there and keep your class music close at hand. For live-streamed or recorded classes, choose Royalty Free playlists rather than original artist playlists.
