Tabata Songs
Strength Training
Tabata Songs is a unique fitness-music channel that composes songs specifically for the Tabata interval training protocol (20 seconds of all-out effort, followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated for 8 rounds).
Founded by musicians-turned-fitness innovators Jay Driscoll and Wayno, the project began out of a simple need—while touring, they struggled to time their workouts without interrupting their music. Their solution? A song that tells you exactly when to GO and when to REST.
Today, Tabata Songs has become a fixture in the global fitness community, with over 1.3 million YouTube subscribers and more than 375 million streams across music platforms. Their catalog spans genres—from hip-hop and electronica to country and pop—and every track is carefully produced so that each interval is clearly signaled, removing the need for external timers.
They also support fitness creators: via their Royalty-Free Tabata Songs program, trainers can use their music in workout videos without copyright strikes, making Tabata Songs a go-to partner for YouTube fitness content.
With their creative approach, Tabata Songs doesn’t just set the beat—it orchestrates the workout.
