R&B Workout: Smooth Gym Playlist

Smooth tracks that keep the gym session moving: R&B Workout is a Spotify playlist of R&B with a tempo to train to, curated by Lord Reverb. Usher, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Chris Brown and more.

Grooves with a pulse instead of a sprint. Silky vocals over drums that still hit, so the treadmill feels like a walk through a music video. Light lifts, stretching and steady cardio all fit. Bonus points for the mirror cameo. Sweat looks better in slow motion. No sprints required, though the tempo will happily carry you through one.

Start with Open in Spotify and follow it for the smooth side of training. Groove first, sweat second: the tempo stays comfortable for steady training. Cooling down? Try Slow Jam R&B, R&B Hits and Workout Music.

Send us a groove around 95 to 115 BPM that you could actually train to. Polished vocals and a low end that doesn't swamp them are the sweet spot. The orange + Submit Your Track button sits one step under Open in Spotify. No cost, no catch, no pay to play.
