Build-Your-Gym Smart Workout Planner (Digital Download)

A workout plan that fits the gym you actually have.

Most programs assume a full gym. This one asks what your gym has (barbell? cables? only dumbbells? a pool? a sauna?) and builds your 12-week plan around it. Any exercise your gym can't support is swapped automatically for one it can.

Light or dark, your choice

You get two versions of the same planner: Daylight (bright and clean) and Midnight (dark mode, easier on the eyes in a dim gym or at night). Same tabs, same formulas, same dashboard. Use whichever you like.

What's inside

• My Gym Workout Planner spreadsheet (.xlsx) for Google Sheets and Excel
• FREE: Midnight dark-mode version of the spreadsheet (same features)
• Printables (one .zip file) in Letter, A4 and Low-Ink: My Gym checklist, health check, weekly plan sheet, strength log, cardio & swim log, 12-week program overview
• Quick-Start Guide (PDF)

Features

• My Gym setup: full commercial gym, home gym, apartment gym, dumbbells only, or bodyweight & bands, with a 19-item equipment checklist
• Set days per week (2 to 6), minutes per session, goal, beginner or intermediate, lb or kg
• Auto-substitution: 105 exercises, each with the equipment it needs and 2 to 3 swaps
• Weekly plan: strength days, cardio on the machines you have, swim sessions (only if you have a pool), recovery days and optional sauna sessions with safety notes
• Smart next weight using your gym's real weight jumps
• Health check: 8 yes/no questions. Any Yes adds a "check with your doctor" banner and keeps your plan at beginner volume
• App-style dashboard with progress bars, your next workout and 5 live charts
• Weekly score where 80% counts as a win, plus 4 phone-friendly logs and personal records

FAQ

I only have dumbbells or bands at home. Will it work?
Yes. Pick that preset and every exercise switches to one you can do.

My gym has a pool. Does it plan swims?
Yes. Turn on Pool and you get swim sessions with distance targets in meters or yards, plus a swim log.

Is this a personal trainer program?
No. It's a planning and tracking tool built on common training structures. It is not made by a certified trainer and is not medical advice.

Can I change exercises?
Yes. Every planned exercise, role and rep table can be edited.

Log and track only. Not medical advice. Talk with your doctor before starting a new exercise program. Sauna and steam: skip if pregnant, have heart or blood-pressure conditions, or feel unwell.
