This year has been a strange year for the fitness world with so many using online platforms to teach their fitness classes for the first time due to COVID-19 closing many gyms for large parts of 2020.
WSHQ released a record 20 new albums in 2020 to try to keep up with demand for license free music for fitness professionals.
Here is our top 5 albums of 2020:
1 > 130 BPM Workout Music, Vol. 1
A new entry to our top 5 of the year and our first continuous workout music mix which has proved incredibley popular.
Lisa Townend says "Perfect for a range of classes including step, conditioning and low impact aerobics. The music does change as it goes thorough so you know where you are on the playlist. The 60 mins run time is great!"

2 > Tabata Music, Vol. 3
A ever popular album that has been around since 2014 and moves up 3 places from number 5 from 2019.
