Workout planner

Workout plan built around your goals and schedule

The GrabGains training plan app builds a workout plan in minutes based on your goal, experience, training days and equipment. It recommends a split that fits your week, plans every session with the right exercises, sets and reps, and keeps building on what you log as you get stronger.

Custom workout plan

What’s your goal?

Your plan starts with what you want to achieve: build muscle, get stronger, get lean or lose weight. Add your experience level and the areas you want to focus on, and every choice in your plan builds on that.

  • Build muscle, get stronger, get lean or lose weight
  • Experience level from beginner to advanced
  • Priority Zones for up to two areas you want to improve most

Workout schedule app

A training plan that fits your week

Tell the app how many days a week you want to train and how long a session can take. Your workouts are spread over those days, with exercises, sets and reps that match your level. You see your whole week at a glance.

Every Monday your next week is ready, built on what you logged. Generating a Smart Program is part of Pro.

  • One to seven training days a week, or pick specific days
  • Sessions of 30, 45, 60 or 90+ minutes
  • Every workout of the week with its exercises and sets

Gym or home

A plan built on the equipment you have

Choose where you train, from a large gym to your living room, and tick the equipment you have. Your plan only uses exercises that fit: dumbbells, a barbell, a kettlebell, cables, machines, bands or just your bodyweight.

  • A large gym, a small gym, a garage gym or at home
  • Dumbbells, barbell, kettlebell, cables, machines or bands
  • Bodyweight-only plans with no equipment at all

Workout split planner

Choose a training split that suits you

Full body, upper/lower or push/pull/legs: the app recommends the split that fits your goal, the number of days you train and your equipment. Prefer a different one? Pick it yourself and your plan is built around it. Or let the app choose, and it keeps the choice up to date when your days or equipment change.

  • Full body, upper/lower and push/pull/legs
  • A recommended split based on your answers
  • Change your split later in My Plan
Exercise log showing each set next to what you lifted last time in the app

Progressive overload

Build on your previous workout

For every exercise, the app suggests a weight based on your recent sessions and how hard your last sets felt. Went well? Your next workout can add weight, reps or sets. What you lifted last time is one tap away while you log, and next to every set in your exercise log afterwards.

Your plan runs in blocks of four weeks. After each block the app looks at how it went and most of your main lifts switch to another variant. If your lifts stalled or you trained less than planned, it can propose a lighter week or fewer training days, which only applies once you tap Apply.

  • A suggested weight for every exercise
  • Your previous session one tap away while you log
  • Progression in weight, reps or sets
Choosing which exercises you would rather do, such as lat pulldown or pull-up, in the training plan app

Flexible workout plan

Exercise not working for you? Swap it

Machine taken, or an exercise that doesn’t feel right? Swap it for an alternative that works the same muscles with the equipment you have. Choose whether the swap is just for today or for the rest of your plan. You can also tell the app up front which exercises you’d rather do, such as a lat pulldown or pull-ups, when you set up your plan.

  • Alternatives for the same muscles
  • Filtered on the equipment you have
  • Swap for one workout or for good

Workout planner app

Plans changed? Move your workout

Life doesn’t always follow your schedule. Move a workout to another day and the rest of your week stays as planned. Missed one? It stays ready for whenever you are. Your calendar shows which days you trained and how your streak is going.

  • Move workouts to another day
  • The rest of your week stays as planned
  • A calendar with your streak and training days

Train at reduced load

Match your training to how you feel

Slept badly, or still sore from your last session? With Pro, tell the app how fit you feel today and the suggested weights for that workout scale with it, from 70 to 110%. Only workouts at 100% count toward your progression, so a lighter day never throws your plan out of balance.

  • Lower the load for a single workout
  • Suggested weights adjust automatically
  • Your plan and progression stay on track

What a good training plan app should do

A good training plan app builds a plan around your goal, schedule and equipment, makes it easy to log your workouts and adjusts the plan as you progress. Without those three, you end up planning in a spreadsheet anyway.

01

Smart Workouts

A complete plan based on your goal, experience, training days and equipment. Suggested weights and reps move with your progress while you stay in control.

How the app supports weight training
02

Workouts you can adjust

Swap exercises, move workouts and, with Pro, lower the load on a tough day, without throwing your whole plan out of balance.

Discover all app features
03

Build on your last workout

Your previous performance one tap away while you log, with a suggested next step for weight, reps or sets.

Comparison

Comparing training plan apps: what to look for

A spreadsheet is free and flexible, but calculates nothing for you. A basic tracker logs your sets but doesn’t plan. GrabGains plans, logs and tracks progress in the same app.

What you want Spreadsheet or paper Basic tracker GrabGains
A plan for your goal and equipment Build it yourself Usually not Smart Workouts
A split that fits your week Build it yourself Rarely Recommended split
Suggested weights for next time No Limited Yes
Swap or move workouts Rewrite your plan Sometimes Yes, plan stays intact
Volume per muscle group Calculate yourself Rarely Muscle Zone Tracking
Exercise videos No Sometimes Yes

Frequently asked questions

What is the best training plan app?

The best training plan app builds a plan around your goal, experience, training days and equipment, and adjusts it as you get stronger. GrabGains does this with Smart Workouts: your weekly plan is ready in minutes and keeps building on what you log.

How do I make a workout plan?

Enter your goal, experience, training days, session length and equipment. The app recommends a split, spreads your workouts over the week and fills each session with exercises, sets and reps that match your level.

Is the GrabGains training plan app free?

GrabGains is free to download and new accounts can try Pro free for 14 days. After that, you can keep using the free Basic version to log workouts, follow your current plan with weight suggestions, browse the exercise library and track your personal records, or continue with Pro for generating Smart Workouts, the AI coach, Muscle Zone Tracking and training at reduced load. Pro prices for your country are shown in the App Store and Google Play. Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel in your account settings, at least 24 hours before renewal.

How many days a week should I train?

That depends on your goal, experience, available time and recovery. In the app you choose how many days a week you want to train and how long a session can take, and your plan is built around that. GrabGains provides general fitness and training information only and is not a medical service. Consult a healthcare professional before starting a new training program.

Can I use my own workout plan?

Yes. Besides Smart Workouts, you can build your own routines and choose exactly which exercises you want to do. The free version holds four of your own workouts; with Pro there is no limit.

Can I swap exercises in my plan?

Yes. Swap an exercise for one workout or for good. The app shows alternatives that work the same muscles with the equipment you have.

Does the app work for training at home?

Yes. Choose home as your training location and tick the equipment you have, from dumbbells and a kettlebell to bodyweight only. Your plan is built around it.
