Have you ever wondered what the person next to you at the gym was listening to? FitRated set out to answer that question with their latest study.
FitRated's study surveyed over 1,000 people across the United States to figure out exactly what people were listening to that gave them a little inspiration while exercising. Afterward, they cross-compared their findings with each person's preferred method of working out. Overall, their study found that some genres can help increase workout intensity. Additionally, genre selection can directly relate to the type of workout preferred.
They also found that EDM was the 5th most popular genre at the gym, between Alternative and Heavy Metal... but I'm pretty sure if this was a European study, EDM would be a solid number 1 on the list. 😅
