Workout Playlist

Updated October 2026 · 34 songs · Titles and artists only

A workout playlist should keep a steady beat and rise in intensity. This list moves from a warm-up through hard sets to a cooldown. It works for a home gym, a group class or a run club.

Tips for your workout and gym music

• Match song tempo to the exercise. Fast songs suit sprints and slow songs suit stretching.
• Put the hardest songs at the point in the workout where you slow down.
• Use headphones in a public gym. Use a speaker only in a private space or a class.
• Keep each song short. Songs under four minutes fit interval timing.
• Review the list for explicit words if you run a class with mixed ages.

Let guests vote instead of playing DJ

In a group class or with workout partners, Jukebox lets everyone vote for the next song. Join by QR code, vote and request songs from your own phone. Use it for a run club, a home gym session or a backyard bootcamp.

Here is how it works. The host starts a session from Apple Music. Guests join by 6-digit code, QR code or by being nearby. They vote on songs, request their own and vote to skip. The most-voted song plays next. Guests need no account, and only the host needs Apple Music.
