About Muscle Mix Music

Muscle Mix Music was founded by Denise Imbesi—an original pioneer in fitness music with over 30 years of industry experience. By combining her background as a fitness instructor and DJ, Denise set out to solve a problem instructors faced every day: finding reliable, high-quality music designed specifically for workout classes.

How It Started

In 1988, while teaching fitness classes and DJing in Brooklyn, Denise saw instructors struggling with vinyl records and cassette tapes—constantly switching songs, losing energy, and breaking the flow of class. There was nothing built for fitness professionals.

So she created Muscle Mix Music, one of the first companies to offer pre-mixed, continuous workout music with consistent beats and tempos—allowing instructors to focus on coaching, not cueing tracks.

Where We Are Today

Over the years, Denise has created custom fitness music for leading brands including Beachbody, Powder Blue, Reebok, Piloxing, and SilverSneakers. Today, she is bringing Muscle Mix Fitness Music directly to instructors through streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music and has expanded her virtual music offerings for YouTube and on-demand classes.

The mission remains the same: power better classes with music that moves people.
