More than Just a Workout

Pump Up Your Workout: Studio Strong’s Custom Playlist Revolution

Just Hit Play

Ever caught yourself crushing a set to the perfect beat, only to have the gym’s generic playlist switch to something that makes your motivation pack its bags and leave? We feel you. That’s why we’re taking Studio Strong’s music game to a whole new level—and we want YOUR playlists in the mix!

The Sound of Strength: Why We’re Making This Change

Let’s be honest—working out to someone else’s idea of “motivation” can be…interesting. (Yes, we’re looking at you, mysterious DJ who thinks the “Chicken Dance” belongs in a workout mix.)

Music isn’t just background noise—it’s the unofficial training partner that pushes you through those last few reps when your muscles are screaming. Science backs this up: the right tunes can actually increase your performance by up to 15%. That’s like free gains, people!

Create Your Ultimate Studio Strong Soundtrack

We’re building a community playlist library that actually reflects what gets YOU moving. Here’s how to add your musical muscle to our collection:

  1. Open Spotify (where all good workout playlists are born)
  2. Create a new playlist (Mobile: Your Library → + symbol; Desktop: Create Playlist in left sidebar)
  3. Name it “Studio Strong – [Your Name]” (e.g., Studio Strong – Sarah)
  4. Add your power tracks (all those songs that make you feel like a superhero mid-workout)
  5. Share your Spotify username with us so we can find your masterpiece

The Benefits of Your Personal Soundtrack

Besides the obvious joy of not having to pretend you like whatever random playlist is playing, your custom tunes offer:

  • Familiar motivation – Your brain already associates these songs with giving your all
  • Perfectly timed intervals – Create the ultimate HIIT playlist with high-energy tracks that match your work/rest periods
  • Mood boosting – Your favorite songs trigger dopamine release (that’s science for “happy chemicals”)
  • Community vibes – Discover what gets your fellow Studio Strong members moving

Ready, Set, DJ!

We can’t wait to see what musical magic you bring to Studio Strong. Share your username with your trainer at your next session and we will your jam on!

Together, we’ll create the soundtrack to your strongest year yet. Because let’s face it—burpees are still burpees, but they’re marginally less terrible with the right beat!
