My Workout Muse

Custom Interval Workout Soundtrack Design for Fitness Professionals

Since WM started creating the world’s first ever interval training workout soundtracks in January of 2008, we’ve received countless requests from eager fitness pros around the world who wanted to build their own custom tracks to their exact music, audio instruction, and interval timeline specifications.

The problem? The cost! A typical 20-minute custom workout soundtrack can cost anywhere from $3-5k to produce which is way too much money for the average trainer. But now you can access the world-class sound design services of Workout Muse Co-Creator and Sound Director Topher Farrell at a fraction of the cost!

We’re really excited to announce our new My Workout Muse services where you can choose from a variety of custom sound design options based on your needs and budget outlined below:

Elite Sound Design- $1,000/Track OR 3 Easy Payments of $399

- Allows for custom music creation and sound effects to cater to your unique musical preferences
- Allows for custom interval training timeline creation to your unique fitness programming needs
- Allows for custom voiceover and audio instructions using YOUR own voice to best cater to your clients or campers
- Not only can you sell and distribute your mp3 track to your own customers as your deem fit but your custom interval track is also made available in the WM store for other fitness pros and enthusiasts alike to crank it to**
- Want to be able to gain exclusive rights to this track? For only $2500 or 3 easy payments of $999 you can own your own track outright and it will only be available through your distribution channel(s)

**Creating original music from scratch is the most costly aspect of the sound design process. However, we can cut costs for you on the front-end by making your new track available for sale in our store. It’s a win-win because it will literally save you thousands of dollars and we can also generate lifetime sales from the new track!

Premium Sound Design- $500/Track OR 3 Easy Payments of $199

The Spartacus 2.0 Workout Soundtrack!

Thursday, February 10th, 2011
A little over a year ago, Men’s Health and world class trainer Rachel Cosgrove put together the original Spartacus Workout that took the world by storm.

We created a custom interval training soundtrack to help power and automate the workout and that too took the world by storm.

As many of you know, Men’s Health and Rachel Cosgrove recently released the Spartacus 2.0 Workout and it looks even more challenging than the original! You can see the workout here:

http://my.menshealth.com/workout/The-Spartacus-Workout-2.0

And guess what we did?

Yep, we just completed the official Spartacus 2.0 Soundtrack as a giveaway to provide the world with a better fitness experience:

http://bit.ly/Spartacus2

I like this track so much, that I’m even putting together a bunch of bonus workouts for our Bootcamp Automator members for this month in addition to their regular monthly program design content (don’t forget, BA closes tomorrow at 11:59 pm US EST).

I’ll also be putting together a single bonus workout using this track for the entire WM list as well in the days to come so stay tuned (yep, BA members get the most perks).

I must be honest in that I think this Spartacus 2.0 track blows away the original and Topher really stuck his foot in this one- get it NOW and please send it to everyone you know and post on Facebook and Twitter too:

http://bit.ly/Spartacus2

I’ve put together some done-for-you social media posting templates PLUS a done-for-you email for the fitness pro to send to their clients/campers for how to use these resources for a bonus home/travel workout or bootcamp-to-go… enjoy ;)

Claymaker 52% Off Sale Until Super Bowl Sunday

Thursday, February 3rd, 2011
As promised, we’re holding a special 52% Off “Claymaker Sale” Until Super Bowl Sunday.
Fabio ain’t got nuthin’ on Clay!!
Just enter the following coupon code prior to check out where it asks “have a coupon code?”:
claymaker52
I realize we have like a million products to choose from in the store… so here are my personal recommendations based on what’s the hottest right now:
1.) Boxing Intervals- 3 Minutes On, 1 Minute Off: 60 Minutes
- Perfect for boxing, cardio kickboxing, and MMA classes

- Provides tons of general fitness applications including supersets, trisets, circuits, complexes, density training, cardio intervals, and much more!

- Automate your personal workouts or group exercise classes as the music tells you exactly what to do!

I also love this template for a damage control workout before a free meal or a big party/event… like the Super Bowl for example ;)
It also features one of our new musicians Aaron Berg AKA El Carnicero
Click below for more info and to listen to audio samples:
2.) Lee Taft’s Speed Soundtracks: 5-35 Linear, 7-35 Lateral, 10-50 Linear and Lateral Combo, and 15-45 Agility Conditioning
I’ve been using these Speed Tracks and the great workouts that world famous speed expert Lee Taft put together for them with my 16-year old brother on his speed training days.
Bottom line- they flat out work and my lil bro is getting faster and more agile and his movement quality is starting to get really sharp.
If you work with high school, college, or pro athletes, these tracks will automate your speed training sessions like clockwork.
I also know of some bootcamp owners like Justin Yule using these tracks for cardio interval workouts on T and TH to complement his M, W, F strength workouts. Here’s what Justin posted on Facebook this morning:

Justin Yule’s Fitness Revolution It’s always fun, yes FUN, to start your day off with some speed and agility work…especially when it’s designed by the great Lee Taft. Thanks for partnering with BJ Gaddour and Workout Muse to create Speed Soundtracks. My members and I LOVE THEM!!

Plus, they feature music by one of our new musicians Shalyse Dominique

Click below for more info and to listen to audio samples:
3.) Soundtrack of the Month 3-Pack- Ladder Intervals: Continuous 30-Second Movement Ladders, 15-30-45-60-60-45-30-15 Pyramid Interval Trisets, 10-20-30 Ascending and Descending Ladder Interval Circuits
Ladder intervals are dynamic in nature and have the following benefits over the traditional static single interval protocols:

- Shock the body with multiple interval protocols within the same workout to bust through any frustrating training plateau

- The constant change in work periods makes for a more fun, fresh, and exciting workout

- Allow you to gradually build up from easier work periods to more intense work periods and visa versa

- Provides for more complete energy system development and a total metabolic workout. It also allows you to train different muscle qualities within the same workout by performing work periods of various lengths and intensities as outlined below:

- A movement ladder allows you to place higher-priority movements earlier in the ladder to get more work on them and strengthen your weaknesses. For example, if your right leg is stronger than your left leg, place left leg movements earlier in the ladder to achieve greater training volume and to help eliminate the strength imbalance.

I should also note that the 15-30-45-60-60-45-30-15 Pyramid Interval Trisets track powered what many of my campers claimed to be the workout of the year in 2010!!

The other day Topher and I were chatting about a great new idea we have for Workout Muse.

Actually, the whole conversation started when we were discussing what my favorite workout music was.

Here’s my personal top 10 workout tunes list, in no particular order:

1.) Man in the Mirror, Michael Jackson

2.) Killing in the Name of, Renegades of Funk

3.) Juicy, Notorious BIG

4.) Anything from The Rocky Soundtrack (eye of the tiger, gonna fly now, any Vince Dicola produced training montage)

5.) Numb Encore, Jay-Z and Lincoln Park

6.) Momma Said Knock You Out, LL Cool J

7.) Crawling, Lincoln Park

8.) Anything from the 300 Soundtrack

9.) Carmina Burina

10.) Bombs Over Baghdad, Outkast

Now, music is like politics and religion- everybody has different tastes.

Heck, I am sure some of you are ripping on my list right now, especially the Michael Jackson song, ha! (more…)
