It’s no secret that a playlist can make or break a workout. That one fire chorus or incredible beat drop can pump the adrenaline from 0 to 100 (even when you’re mentally unsure of being able to finish that last set). So to find how our community stays strong during even the most difficult workouts, we asked a few of the attendees at our #PrimarkSetGo Workout Classes at AKT Studio in New York City and Trillfit in Boston to tell us what their go-to motivational songs are. Read their picks, shop their favorite Primark products, and then add the entire Spotify playlist to your phone, stat.

I love The Fitness Marshall’s video featuring this song. I always feel happier and stronger when it comes on. It’s amazing how much music can impact your mood and motivation!” — Brooke Sutton, Simmons College, class of 2019

“New Rules” by Dua Lipa

“Uptown Funk” by Bruno Mars
