Creating great workouts with the AI Workout Builder doesn’t require complex prompts — in fact, the simpler, the better. The goal is to answer the core questions clearly and concisely so the AI can build a clean, effective program tailored to your client.

Here’s how to get the best results 👇


✅ Keep Your Prompt Simple & Focused

The AI will ask you the following:

  • Days per week they’ll train (e.g., 3, 5, 6)

  • Session duration (e.g., 45, 60, 90 minutes)

  • Experience level (Beginner / Intermediate / Advanced)

  • Injuries or limitations (if any)

  • Primary goal (Muscle gain / Fat loss / Strength / Endurance)

  • Equipment access (e.g., Full gym / Dumbbells only / Bodyweight)

  • Supersets? (Yes or No)

  • Gym Pictures (optional but recommended)

👉 DO NOT overload the prompt with long paragraphs or unclear requests.

That will confuse the AI and lead to lower-quality workouts.

Just answer each question clearly — even in bullet points or one message.


💡 Example Prompts You Can Copy:

🧍‍♂️ Example 1 – Beginner Fat Loss (Home Gym)

  • 3 days

  • 45 minutes

  • Beginner

🧍‍♀️ Example 2 – Intermediate Strength (Full Gym)

📸 Pro Tip: Upload Gym Pictures

You can upload up to 5 pictures of your client’s gym setup. The AI will analyze the equipment and include only exercises they can actually perform.

This massively improves workout relevance.


🔁 Don’t Forget:

  • You can regenerate the plan if needed.

  • You can manually adjust inside Trainerize after the AI sends it.

  • You still need to schedule the workouts (Trainerize API doesn’t support automated scheduling yet).
