Have you ever wondered how your HIGH Fitness instructor puts together those amazing playlists you hear in class? There is a method to the madness! Creating HIGH Fitness playlists is all about making them motivating, engaging, and fun for everyone. Part of the magic of HIGH Fitness lies in the music within each playlist, so let’s break down how we put them together!

When instructors create playlists, they focus on a few key elements:

1. Variety of Artists
Our HIGH Fitness music library is massive, and we love combining artists from different eras, genres, and age groups to keep things fresh and unexpected. Think Britney Spears meets Elvis, The Beastie Boys, and Gracie Abrams (coming soon!). The mix of familiar classics and trending hits ensures there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

2. HIGH Song of the Week
Though optional, most instructors include the HIGH Song of the Week in their playlists. This creates a shared pulse and common thread that connects instructors and participants across the globe. Fun fact: HIGH Fitness pioneered the “song of the week” trend in the fitness world! We’re proud that many other formats have followed suit, as it’s such a fun way to foster unity. When we add songs to the HIGH Fitness library, we prioritize current music so you can enjoy trending hits in your workouts.

3. Variety of Genres
Pop, rock, country, K-pop—you name it, we’ve got it. Mixing genres ensures everyone in a HIGH class finds something they love, and it’s not uncommon for participants to develop a newfound appreciation for genres they don’t typically listen to. For example, someone who isn’t a country fan might discover they love it after hearing some great country tracks in class!

4. Themed Playlists
HIGH classes are known for their creative themed playlists. From holiday-inspired sets to artist-specific lineups or even “Country vs. Rock” battles, these themes add an extra layer of excitement and motivation. The possibilities are endless, and we know you love seeing your instructor’s creativity shine through.

Now you know—your HIGH Fitness class is basically a big party where your instructor plays the role of DJ! Crafting an amazing playlist is a special talent that takes time and thought to master. So, the next time you’re in a class with a playlist that’s off the chain, don’t forget to compliment your instructor. They’ll love and appreciate the shoutout!
