I listen to an odd selection of music at the gym and I thought it would be funny to share it with you guys! From musicals to rock to pop, I have a real mix of genres and tastes when I’m working out and will often be in HMV looking for new tracks to add to my collection. I hope you guys are ready for this – don’t judge!!
Musical numbers:
There’s something about the build of a musical ballad that makes them great for working out (no? just me???) and they always put me in a good mood. I’ve included a couple Disney classics in this section too, because.. duh.. Disney is great.
Revolting Children – Matilda the Musical
Gaston – Beauty and the Beast (2017)
The Time Warp – Rocky Horror
Cell Block Tango – Chicago
I’ll Make A Man Out of You – Mulan (This is the BEST track ever to work out to… but I do get a little carried away and start karate chopping across the gym)
Don’t Rain On My Parade – Barbra Streisand
THE ENTIRE ALBUM of Lazarus
Rock songs:
This is so oddly specific but I will listen to one rock album, and one album only. I don’t know why but it’s just perfect.
Phobia – Breaking Benjamin
Sassy pop songs:
There are SO many to choose from but here are my top five. Guaranteed to make you sweat the f*ck boys out of your system.
Work B*tch – Britney Spears
That’s My Girl – Fifth Harmony
Survivor – Destiny’s Child
Shout Out To My Ex – Little Mix
NO – Meghan Trainor
It’s an odd mix but it works for me. Share your favourite gym songs in the comments!

omg good choices! for the musicals category, I’d add one shot from Hamilton and bend and snap from legally blonde! I also love side to side by ari (bae) and the workout song by kanye – so so good xxx
Bend and snap is a brilliant choice! And yes got to love a bit or Ari – that song always makes me want to try spinning! xxx
I’m the same, I listen to a mix when I go running! My favourite artist I like listening to is probably Jason Derulo… xxx
absolutely love this! Such good musical choices especially for a workout! xx
I absolutely love that Mulan song, it’s also on my gym playlist 😂
