The Best Pump-Up Songs to Crush Any Workout

There's nothing quite like lacing up for your first long run of the season, setting up for sprint intervals, strapping on a new pair of boxing gloves, or stepping up to a barbell that holds more weight than you've ever lifted before. Those are the moments when the music on your queued playlist needs to match the vibe — meaning, pump-up songs are a must. What's better than one perfect song? An entire workout playlist filled with all the best pump-up songs that you can use to get hyped for any gym session. (Want to make a playlist of your own? Here are 170+ epic tunes to consider for a powerful mix.)

What you'll find inside: plenty of Kanye West because, well, the guy knows how to get really worked up. Plus some of the best hype songs from hip-hop artists and rappers. You'll also get your heartbeat racing with Avicii, and grab a little sass from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. You're sure to stay fired up until the finisher, which is Sia's "The Greatest," because what could be more fitting after you nailed that PR, crushed that max-weight rep, or held that plank longer than you ever had before?

Of course, there are plenty of beats — because ICYMI, bass-heavy songs are scientifically proven to make you feel more powerful. This hour-long pump-up song playlist should fuel most of your workouts, but if you need a little extra motivation, tack on this speedy running mix.
