Coach review required. Do not use AI output as medical advice or clearance. Inputs stay in this browser and are not saved or sent to an AI service.

Method and assumptions

This builder inserts your inputs into a fixed prompt template. It uses no AI API. Copy the output into the service you choose only after checking privacy and removing identifying information.

Check the output: confirm scope and contraindications, exercise suitability, available equipment, session time, progression and the calculation of volume. A generated table does not replace assessment or medical clearance.

Frequently asked questions

Does this generate a workout?

No. It generates a prompt string. A separate AI service may draft a plan from that prompt; the coach must review the result.

Can I put client health information into it?

Avoid names and identifying or unnecessary health details. The builder runs locally in your browser and does not save the brief. Check the privacy terms of any service you paste it into.

How do I use the result in Google Sheets?

Ask for the table format, check each row, then paste the reviewed output into a training sheet. Confirm column alignment and units before sharing.
