Triumphant pop that celebrates the smashing of prejudice and the joy of being yourself.

Nobody had a bigger summer than Charli xcx, whose clubby, confessional album <i>BRAT</i> coated pop culture—murals, runways, martinis, memes—in a proudly messy slime green. Some of the fever may have cooled by the season’s end, but Bakari Williams—the Cycling, HIIT, and Rowing trainer who curated this fiery Fitness+ playlist of Charli’s greatest hits—isn’t ready to move on just yet. “I’m always in the mood for a little adventure,” he tells Apple Music. “That’s why I love Charli. She’s sweet, sassy, fun, sexy, and kind of weird in a way that I can’t get enough of. Her nightclub party vibe energizes me whether it’s getting ready for the weekend or to sweat in a workout.”

Be it ballet, dancing or cardio, fitness has played a vital part in the life of pop star Ana Laura Lopes since she was very young. Especially after her accident, weight training has helped her strengthen her knee. These picks boost both her workout and mood, setting the pace at the gym and her daily life. Because exercising is not just a necessity for better health—for Lopes, it’s a true pleasure.

Kim Petras became the toast of the pop world with her 2017 breakthrough single “I Don’t Want It At All,” a neon-hued demand for life’s finer things that showcases her brash voice and take-no-prisoners attitude. Since then, the German-born, Los Angeles-based upstart has become one of the brightest stars dwelling on pop’s arch, synth-heavy edge, collaborating with fellow forward-thinkers like Charli XCX and SOPHIE on hooky, futuristic bangers and releasing a Halloween EP, <I>Turn off the Light, Vol. 1</I>, that put the spotlight on her darker side.
