In honor of Spotify Wrapped coming out, we welcome Mackenzie McLaughlin to the podcast to talk all things playlists. We all know a playlist can make or break the vibes of a fitness class, and Mackenzie created Thee Playlist Plug on Instagram to help instructors find more song options for their classes.

As a gift from both of us, we made you a Spotify Playlist! Head to IG to tell us your favorite songs!

You can find all of her recommendations on Instagram:
