How to Design a Workout Programme with ChatGPT
Design a workout programme with ChatGPT and ToolRouter. Structured plans by goal, equipment, and schedule.
Tool
ChatGPT turns exercise database results into well-structured, printable workout programmes with warm-up sequences, main sets, cool-down suggestions, and progressions. It produces the formatted output that makes a programme easy to follow in the gym without thinking.

Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Workout Planner tool:
- Ask: "Search exercises by body part: legs using workout-planner"
- ChatGPT returns a comprehensive exercise list
- Specify your goal: "I want to build leg strength and hypertrophy over 8 weeks"
- Request: "Write an 8-week progressive leg programme with specific weekly progressions"
Example Prompt
Try this with ChatGPT using the Workout Planner tool
Search exercises for legs and glutes using workout-planner. Write an 8-week progressive training programme for muscle growth with three sessions per week, starting conservative and building volume over time.
Tips
- Ask for a formatted PDF-style layout so the programme is easy to follow mid-session
- Request week-by-week progressions rather than a static programme
- Ask ChatGPT to flag exercises to swap out if you're training at home vs a commercial gym
