Since their breakthrough in 2000, Coldplay has dominated arenas and pop charts with their larger-than-life anthems and stadium-sized hooks, crafting a sound that oscillates between intimate piano ballads and blissed-out pop rock. Their masterful command of dynamic progression—from the pulsing electronic undercurrent of “Adventure of a Lifetime” to the euphoric chorus of “Viva La Vida”—makes their music a perfect match for a truly uplifting workout. “Coldplay has a way of helping me get from 0 to 100 real quick,” says Fitness+ Strength and Core trainer Kyle Ardill. “They really inspire me to bring the heat to my workouts. Their music is timeless and also gets me smiling. For me, there’s no better way to train than with a big smile on my face.”
