The science of sound

Music doesn't just fill the room. It fuels the workout.

Research published in the Journal of Sports Medicine found that synchronizing movement to music improves endurance by up to 15%. The right tempo reduces perceived exertion. The right energy keeps people pushing through the last rep, the last mile, the last thirty seconds of a plank.

But a gym isn't one workout. It's the 5:30 AM crew who needs dark, driving beats to wake up. It's the mid-morning yoga class that needs something completely different. It's the after-work rush where the energy has to match the room, not fight it.

Most gym owners know this. You've watched a packed class lose momentum because the wrong track killed the energy. You've seen a dead floor come alive when the right one hit.

The hard part was always controlling it — legally, reliably, without someone babysitting a playlist. Puana handles that.

BPM-matched to your floor

Every workout has a tempo. Match it.

A gym floor at 6 AM needs different energy than a noon yoga class or a Friday evening boot camp. Puana lets you schedule different sounds for every part of the day — in 15-minute blocks, with automatic transitions. Set it once. It runs itself.

120–140 BPM

Cardio and HIIT

Driving electronic, uptempo hip-hop, high-energy beats. The tempo that keeps feet moving and heart rates climbing.

90–110 BPM

Strength training

Heavy bass, controlled power. Slower tempo, bigger presence. Matches the deliberate pace of heavy lifts.

70–80 BPM

Yoga and stretching

Ambient textures, flowing melodies, organic sounds. Space to breathe. Room to move without being pushed.

5:30 AM

Early birds

Dark, driving, minimal. The kind of sound that pulls people out of bed and into the work without being aggressive.

12 PM

Midday flow

Balanced energy — not too intense, not too soft. Lunch-break warriors and steady-state cardio.

6 PM

Peak hour

Full energy. The room is packed, the vibe is up. Music that matches the intensity of a full gym floor.

From a cafe in Michigan

“I built Puana because the music in my cafe mattered more than any playlist could handle. Then I realized — every space with people in it has the same problem.”

Puana started in a small cafe in Charlevoix, Michigan. Jesse Meria spent twenty minutes every morning trying to get the music right — scrolling playlists, skipping tracks, worrying about licensing.

He built Puana to fix that problem. A library of thousands of original tracks, each composed for real spaces. Not stock music. Not algorithm-generated filler. Music with texture, warmth, and enough edge to feel alive.

A gym floor has the same need as a dining room — the right sound at the right time, legally covered, running on its own. The energy is different. The principle is the same.

You describe the atmosphere you want. Puana plays exactly that.

The math

Playing personal playlists in your gym can cost you $30,000.

Personal streaming services aren't licensed for commercial use. The fine for copyright infringement is up to $30,000 per track. And 83% of businesses are doing it right now without knowing.

The “legal” alternative? A business music service ($25–30/mo) plus BMI ($250-500/year) plus ASCAP ($220-500/year) plus SESAC ($200-400/year). Total: $470-1,400+/year per year. And you still might not get the energy your members need.

Common questions

Everything you need to know.

Do I still need a BMI, ASCAP, or SESAC license?

No. Every track on Puana is original music with full commercial rights included in your subscription. There are no third-party royalties, no PRO fees, and no additional licensing costs. Your Puana subscription covers everything.

Can I set different music for different class types?

Yes. Puana's scheduling works in 15-minute blocks. Set high-energy electronic for your 6 AM HIIT class, downtempo ambient for yoga at noon, and hip-hop for evening spin — each with its own genre, mood, and energy level. Set it once and it runs automatically.

Do you have tracks at specific BPM ranges?

Yes. Our library of Thousands of original tracks spans the full BPM spectrum. Filter by energy level and BPM to find tracks that match your workout tempo — 120-140 BPM for cardio, 90-110 for strength training, 70-80 for stretching and recovery.

Can I filter out explicit content?

One toggle. The explicit content filter works across every genre and daypart. Families, teens, all ages — no surprises, no awkward moments on the gym floor.

Can my trainers control the music during classes?

Yes. You can give trainers play, pause, and skip control while keeping scheduling and settings locked to managers. Each team member gets their own access level — no shared passwords.

How is this different from a personal streaming service?

Personal streaming services are licensed for personal use only. Playing them in a commercial space is copyright infringement — businesses have been fined up to $30,000 per track. Puana is built specifically for commercial use, with a license that covers your business from day one.
