music for working out.

workout music is a tempo + energy problem. describe both in one sentence and the stream starts.

workout music is the easiest case for a continuous generated stream. you want energy, you want momentum, you don't want to keep skipping tracks because you've heard them. flowy fits that shape exactly.

scenarios hit hardest here. 'heavy lifts, dark techno energy'. 'morning run, sunrise tempo'. 'late-night HIIT, no mercy'. 'perreo intenso para reventar la pista'. the model reads the energy cue and tunes the music there.

retune at rest stops. the second half of the session is rarely the same energy as the first. 'morning warmup, getting started' to 'heavy lifts, dark techno energy' to 'cooldown, slow walk home'.

moments that work for working out

tap any of these to start the stream. each one is specific enough that the model has something to anchor to, and the music begins playing right away.

why this works

  • name the activity in the scenario ('running', 'lifting', 'sprints', 'HIIT') for better tempo matching.
  • language-specific scenarios (perreo, afrobeats, k-pop) land on music with vocals in that style. great for cardio energy.
  • the lock-screen controls work for hands-free skip / pause when you're mid-set.

questions about music for working out

can I pick a BPM?

Not directly yet. Describing the activity tightly ('HIIT fast', 'slow controlled lifts') gets the model into the right tempo zone. Direct BPM control is on the roadmap.

does Flowy work on a phone during a workout?

Yes. Flowy works as a progressive web app. On iOS: Share, then Add to Home Screen for a full-screen experience with lock-screen controls. On Android, Chrome will offer to install it. Lock-screen play/pause/skip work hands-free.

what's the best music for running?

Steady tempo, vocal hooks, momentum-builders. Scenarios that work: 'sunset run along the coast', 'morning run sunrise tempo', 'running through shibuya at night', 'k-pop with switch ups every 30 seconds'.

what about lifting?

Higher intensity, slower-feeling tempos that match controlled reps. 'Heavy lifts, dark techno energy'. 'Saturday night warehouse rave'. 'Perreo intenso para reventar la pista' for hype work.

can I download workout tracks for offline play?

Yes. €0.50–€1.99 per MP3, free with the subscription. Downloaded tracks work fully offline.
