100 Rock & Metal Songs Your Gym Playlist Needs

The music in gym’s sucks and is usually loud. You need a strong gym playlist that you can trust to get you through the toughest workouts.

If you find a gym that can put together a decent workout playlist you’ve hit the lottery my friend – those places are few and far between. Why? They either play their own special mix of inoffensive pop or dance music with a beat you can plod along on the treadmill to and not make a complaint about.

A well crafted playlist for working out is essential to get you in the zone and keep you there until you’re done. Once you’ve got your headphones on you’re in your own world where you can concentrate on you and those goals and like a good sommelier pairing the perfect wine for your evening, I present to you 100 rock & metal tracks your playlist needs to have plus my own Spotify creation (with a few video clips thrown in for your listening pleasure):
