Christian Exercise Music {30+ Songs For Your Workout Playlist}
Looking for Christian exercise music for clean, upbeat faith-filled songs? Check out this workout playlist, perfect for running, at-home workouts, and more!
Confession – I really don’t like workout remixes.
I’m not a fan of techno music and when they try to jazz up songs to boost the tempo…well, they often lose me because of it.
On the other hand, I absolutely love Contemporary Christian music and I have K-LOVE playing on my radio whenever I’m driving.
So, instead of a workout remix, I try to be on the lookout for upbeat, fun Christian songs to workout to and I keep a running list of them on my phone.
These songs are all clean, inspirational songs that can motivate you to move and make exercise an act of worship!
Some of these songs are oldies but goodies. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve worked out to “Dive” by Stephen Curtis Chapman since high school!
Others are recent hits from the radio or just songs recommended to me by friends that I fell in love with.
Some of them are a little bit more mellow and some a little bit more intense, which I love because there is always a song to fit my intensity level and mood!
I often play these songs during my Faithful Fitness workouts (try the free 5-day Faith + Fitness Jumpstart Challenge!), on my morning runs, and while I do HIIT workouts in my living room.
Not only are the tempos of the songs literally upbeat, but the lyrics talk about overcoming obstacles (great for when your legs are turning to jelly), doing hard things (like when you are pushing through one last rep), and affirming your unshakable worth in Christ (I need that daily).

Absolutely loved this post. As a deaf person, I don’t really love music per se but I love good lyrics. Most times when folks mention a song I need to spend a lot of time looking up the lyrics. Believe me,
it’s a lot of time. Imagine you are completely deaf and you will see why I said that about time. I love words.
I would like to be a part God bless
Hi Becky
I wanted to thank you for such an inspiring list. My company is doing a 30-day health and fitness challenge, and sent us 3 playlists. Not many of the songs listed inspire me to say the least. I shared YOUR playlist as an alternative, for those of US who prefer this faith based genre.
I have lots of Toby Mac on mine and Crowder too
Yes! Both great artists.
So excited to find your workout playlist. I have started running on my treadmill early in the mornings and I need Christian music. Is there anyway you can share your playlist? If not, I can screen shot yours and create one. Thanks so much.
Hi Tamela, I don’t think I have a way to share this playlist right now so definitely feel free to screen shot this!
Love these! Thank you so much! I had to add Shackles by Mary Mary – definitely gets my blood pumping!
Ohh..yes! Shackles is a great one to add to the list!
Thank you so much for this list. May I also suggest you add ‘Stomp’ by Kirk Franklin. Real upbeat and makes you get up and DANCE!
Oh, GREAT song to add to the list!
Love these! I’ve made several workout playlists with Christian music. Some of my favorites are Jesus Freak by DC Talk, Press On by Bldg 429, Dream for You by Casting Crowns, Fearless by Jasmine Murry, Unstoppable God by Sanctus Real, My Deliverer by Mandisa, Press On by Mandisa, Stronger by Mandisa, I’m Still Here by Mandisa
Oh, these are great suggestions! Thanks, Tammy! Mandisa has so many good ones!
@Becky, I just started reading your blog and I love it! I invited you to a group board on Pinterest. But I am also wondering what your blog theme is as well? Love your stuff and fellow sisters in Christ!
Hi Dacia, thanks for the invite! I haven’t been using Pinterest lately. My blog theme is Trellis by Mediavine. I love it! Thanks for the kind words!
