Workout Plan Maker
A workout plan maker turns four inputs, your training days, equipment, experience, and goal, into a complete weekly routine with exercises, sets, and reps already filled in. That's exactly what the tool above does: answer the four questions and it builds the plan for you instead of leaving you to guess at exercise order or set counts on your own.
Workout Builder
Call it a workout builder and the process is identical: it assembles a routine from a pool of exercises matched to your equipment, then adjusts volume for your experience level. The difference between a "builder" and a "generator" is just naming, both produce a structured plan you can start today, no spreadsheet or app download required.
Workout Routine Generator
As a workout routine generator, this tool also works from a URL: your answers are saved as query parameters, so you can bookmark or share a specific plan (for example, a 4-day dumbbell routine for muscle gain) and it regenerates instantly on load. That makes it useful as a repeatable routine generator, not just a one-off plan.
How This Generator Builds Your Split
The generator maps your training days to a split using the same logic in our workout splits guide: 2 to 3 days runs a full body split, 4 days runs upper/lower, and 5 days runs a push/pull/legs-style body part split. Exercise selection matches whatever equipment you have, bodyweight, dumbbells, or full gym, and set counts scale up slightly for intermediate and advanced lifters. Rep ranges and rest periods shift with your goal: strength drops reps to 4-6 with 2-3 minutes rest, weight loss raises reps to 15-20 with 30-45 seconds rest, and muscle gain sits in the 8-12 range with 60-90 seconds rest.
Worked Example: 4-Day Split for Muscle Gain
Here's what the generator outputs for 4 days per week, dumbbells, intermediate experience, and a muscle gain goal:
| Day | Focus | Sample Exercises |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | Chest, shoulders, arms | Dumbbell bench press, dumbbell shoulder press, dumbbell bicep curl |
| Day 2 | Back, legs, core | Dumbbell row, dumbbell goblet squat, weighted sit-up |
| Day 3 | Chest, shoulders, arms | Dumbbell fly, lateral raise, dumbbell tricep extension |
| Day 4 | Back, legs, core | Dumbbell pullover, dumbbell Romanian deadlift, plank |
Every exercise in that table runs 3-4 sets of 8-12 reps with 60-90 seconds rest, per the muscle gain rules above. Change any of the four inputs and the whole table regenerates around the new answer.
This is a starting point, not an adaptive program. For a plan that adjusts your sets, reps, and exercises automatically as you progress, plus nutrition guidance, get the Your PT app.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this free workout plan generator actually personalized?
- It builds a real weekly split from your days per week, equipment, experience, and goal, using the same exercise selection and volume rules covered in our workout splits guide. It won't adapt week to week like the Your PT app does, but every plan it outputs is a legitimate starting program.
- What if I don't have any equipment?
- Pick 'Bodyweight only' and the generator swaps in bodyweight-only exercises for every slot, no dumbbells or machines required.
- How is this different from the Your PT app?
- This tool generates one static plan on the spot. The app builds a plan that adjusts your sets, reps, and exercises automatically as you log workouts and progress, and adds nutrition guidance on top.
- Is there a 100% free workout app?
- Yes. This workout plan generator is completely free with no signup, and the Your PT app has a free tier that builds and adjusts a personalized training plan as you log workouts, no subscription required to start.
- Can I build muscle by just using a workout plan?
- A structured plan is the biggest lever, but muscle growth also needs progressive overload over time, enough protein, and consistent recovery. Follow the plan, add weight or reps most weeks, and eat enough to support growth.
