A spokesperson at Fitness Volt said: “Many gym-goers will find it hard to motivate themselves to get back to working out after some time away from the gym - and one of the best ways to amp ourselves up is to listen to high-tempo music.
“For those who are looking to create dedicated gym playlists, it’s recommended to include some slower tracks that will work for warming up and cooling down after your workout. You may also want to consider noise-cancelling headphones to enhance the experience.”
