Beginner Guide: Create Your Own Workout Music in Suno V5

Creating your own pump-up workout track in Suno V5 is a lot easier than it looks. You don’t need production skills, a studio, or years of music experience. Suno handles the sound design and mixing. Your job is to give it a clear direction: the energy, the style, and the words that matter to you when you train.

This guide walks you through a simple way to build your own workout anthem using Suno V5, with ChatGPT helping you shape prompts, song structure, and custom “power words” in the lyrics.

1. Decide What Energy You Want in Your Workout Track

Start with the feeling you want when the song hits:

  • Heavy lifting: aggressive, primal, hard-hitting.
  • Cardio or conditioning: fast, electric, steady pulse.
  • Focus work: darker, minimal, hypnotic.
  • Hero mindset: epic, cinematic, rising builds.

This is the energy that should guide everything else: style, tempo, and vocal tone.

2. Pick a Beginner-Friendly Style in Suno V5

For workout music, these styles tend to work well for beginners:

  • EDM / Festival EDM — big drops, easy motivation.
  • Hardstyle — fast tempo, pounding kick, intense.
  • Trap EDM — heavy beat, explosive sections.
  • House / Tech House — steady groove for long sessions.
  • Epic EDM / Cinematic Hybrid — heroic build-up energy.

You don’t have to be technical. Phrases like “primal EDM with tribal drums” or “festival hardstyle with big drops” are enough for Suno to understand the direction.

3. Use ChatGPT to Build Your Song Prompt

Most beginners struggle with what to type into Suno. This is where ChatGPT becomes your co-creator.

Tell ChatGPT things like:

  • The workout vibe you want (primal, intense, calm, focused).
  • The style (EDM, hardstyle, trap, house, etc.).
  • How long you want the track to feel (short burst, full song, loopable).
  • Your personal power words — the words you want to hear during training.

Then ask ChatGPT to:

  • Create a Suno V5 music prompt for that style and mood.
  • Write short lyrics with hooks, drops, and breakdowns.
  • Include your power words in the most important lines.

The result is a ready-to-use prompt you can paste directly into Suno.

4. Build Your Power Word List

Power words are the phrases that hit you when you’re tired, doubting, or pushing for the last rep. They make the song feel personal instead of generic.

Examples of power words you might use:

  • Strength-based: power, steel, charge, unbreakable.
  • Mindset-based: rise, ignite, breakthrough, relentless.
  • Identity-based: Righteous, warrior, forged, unbroken, primal.

You can give ChatGPT a list like this and say:

“Use these words in the hook and drop of my workout song lyrics.”

That way the most intense parts of the track speak directly to the mindset you want.

5. Structure Your Song for Workout Use

Workout tracks don’t need complex storytelling. They need a clear pattern that your body responds to. A simple, effective EDM structure looks like this:

  • Intro / Build: sets tension, prepares your mind.
  • Hook / Pre-drop: short, repeated phrases that get stuck in your head.
  • Drop (Chorus): the “go time” moment for big sets or sprints.
  • Breakdown: a little space to breathe and reset.
  • Final Drop: the highest energy moment near the end.

Ask ChatGPT to write lyrics in that format. For example:

  • A short intro line to set the mood.
  • A hook that repeats your power words.
  • A hard-hitting drop section with minimal but strong lines.
  • A quieter breakdown with a steady build.
  • A final drop with even more intensity.

6. Create Your Track in Suno V5

Once you have your prompt and lyrics from ChatGPT, you can feed them into Suno V5.

Your music prompt might include:

  • Style: “primal EDM,” “festival hardstyle,” etc.
  • Energy level: “high intensity, fast tempo, gym workout.”
  • Vocal style: “confident, powerful voice with short aggressive phrases.”
  • Theme: inner strength, rising power, Righteous energy.

Your lyric prompt might say:

  • “Short, primal workout lyrics with hooks and drops.”
  • “Include these power words: Righteous, rise, ignite, breakthrough, unleash, primal.”

Paste into Suno, generate, listen, and adjust as needed. Small changes in wording can dramatically change the result, so don’t be afraid to iterate.

7. Refine, Remix, and Build Your Own Playlist

Once you have your first track, you can create variations:

  • Change the tempo for different types of workouts.
  • Swap the vocal tone from calm to aggressive.
  • Use different power words for different seasons or goals.
  • Create one version for lifting and another for cardio.

Over time, you can build an entire playlist of songs that were created for your training style, your mindset, and your goals.

Tip: Whenever you feel stuck, open ChatGPT and say exactly what you want the next track to feel like. Let AI handle the structure so you can focus on the vision.
