-Tanner

Duke Dumont - The Power
"Great power tune to warm up and motivate you through interval pieces! Lyrics are very fitting for erging!”
-Andres

Gashi - My Year
"I mean with lyrics like this song, singing along to this while erging will definitely help to make it the best year ever!”
-Samantha

Lizzo - Fitness
"Upbeat. Probably more of a steady state song, but pretty self explanatory what it's about. Who doesn't want to work out for Lizzo?”
-Kai

Riton - Fake ID
"It's pretty sick and it’s by British people so that’s a funny plus.”
-Isaac

The Score - Can't Stop Me Now
"This is a great workout song because it's super motivating. The song has a great beat and the lyrics "can't stop me now" motivates a person and makes them believe they can do anything. ”
-Meredith

The Seige - I Am Defiant
-Ewan

Weezer - The End of the Game
"This one’s a banger no matter who you are. It’s a classic Weezer song, so the lyrics are a little sad and melancholic, but they’re set over a kick-ass Van Halen inspired track, and let’s be honest, if you’re listening to lyrics when you’re rowing, you need to row harder and stop thinking. With the 80s arena rock vibe given Weezer’s touch, this one will rock an erg room no matter what crew is erging, juniors through J Masters.”
-Stephen

XXXTENTACION - One Minute
"It’s an aggressive Rock-Rap fusion that’s great to end any piece to, long or short.”
-Elias
