We all know that music plays a huge part in almost everyone's workout regimen. That's why we want to find out the answer to this question:

What is the ultimate workout song of all time?

We're giving our members, fans and celebrity friends the opportunity to nominate and then vote on the top 64 workout songs in our bracket‐style competition. In the end, only one song will be left standing!

So nominate your favorite today! If you're the first to nominate a song and that song is chosen for the bracket, you'll receive an email confirmation. If your song wins, we'll make a $5,000 donation to the charity of your choice!

Here's how it works!

THE NOMINATION AND SONG SELECTION PERIOD – MARCH 2, 2011 until March 9th, 2011

This is where we are asking our fans submit their favorite songs. Based on the submissions, we will seed the 64 songs on our March Music Madness bracket. To nominate a song, follow these instructions:

  1. Go to: http://bit.ly/March-Music-Madness
  2. Fill out the form. (Your name, email, artist, song, charity you are playing for if chosen and why you love the song.)
  3. You'll be automatically entered into a giveaway for one of 25 prizes including a Nintendo Wii, Gold's Gym Dance Workout video games for Wii and iTunes gift cards!
  4. If multiple people nominate the same song, the person who was the first to nominate it will be chosen.
  5. You will be notified by email if your nomination was selected to be on the bracket and you were the first to nominate it.
  6. A team of fitness and music experts will review all of the submissions to seed the brackets.
  7. If your nomination is chosen and your song wins, Gold's Gym will make a $5000 donation in your name to the charity of your choice! (Note: one $5,000 donation will be made on behalf of the individual chosen by the judges to represent the nominated song.)
  8. Gold's Gym will provide a list of the person responsible for nominating each song and the charity they are playing for.
