The industry’s top Group Fitness Instructors agree that songs with tempos between 120-140 BPM are ideal for fitness motivation. That’s the pace we typically associate with popular dance music, and it’s also the rate of the average person’s heartbeat during routine exercise.

With that in mind, we rounded up our top remixes that clock in at 130 BPM. These tracks will provide more than enough oomph to keep you motivated throughout any fitness class. Check them out to see if you find your new fitness anthem!

Cue the air horns—we’ve just dropped another round of beats. This new batch of fitness remixes features a heavy dose of underdog empowerment, with just a dash of psycho and a generous garnish of bass drops. Freshen up your next class by adding a few of these remixes to your playlist!

Music is everything in a group fitness class. From the members to the instructors, we all know just how critical the right playlist  is to shaping the experience by invoking a mood and amplifying the intensity of a class. However, when it comes to overall motivation, beats per minute (BPM) is king.

When the beat is on point, the body can’t help but move. Combined with a series of well-choreographed movements, the right beat will have your students finding themselves not just in a fitness class, but in an experience they can’t get enough of. Finding that sweet spot where tempo—or beats per minute (BPM)—and the flow of the class meet, however, is where the skill of the fitness professional comes into play.

Are you sitting down? Of course not! Because the hottest remixes played by Power Music Now fans in 2018 are here, and if you’ve been feeling the beat with us all year, none of these will come as a surprise.

In 2018, it was all about new artists such as Cardi B, Camila Cabello, and Zedd joining forces with powerhouse veterans such as Justin Timberlake, Adam Levine, and Bruno Mars. All of these artists cooked up mixes that put their turntables and synthesizers to the test to create music with everything from tropical rhythms to songs with youthful, reckless abandon—all for our benefit, of course!

As you know, music can make or break your class and the right music app can save you time and make the job of pulling together a great playlist easy and fun. The best APPs provide easy downloading, playlist creation, gapless playback, tempo adjustment, timers, and more.  

Every fitness instructor has an opinion about which music apps deliver and which don't, but you should have the knowledge to make up your own mind.
