When to use a program vs. a routine
Use the routine generator for one-off workouts or when you're training by feel. Use the program builder when you want structured progression over multiple weeks — building strength to a target lift, cutting for a specific date, peaking for an event, or just wanting the AI to handle periodization for you.
How the program builder works
It's two phases. First, the AI writes a high-level plan for your entire program — week themes (foundation, volume, intensity, deload), day splits, and progression scheme. Then it generates the actual week-by-week routines from that plan, using 1 AI credit per week.
Credit cost
A program costs 1 credit per week. So a 3-week program costs 3 credits. On the free tier you have 3 credits per cycle, so you can build a full 3-week program.
If you ask for more weeks than you can afford, the system generates as many weeks as your credits allow and tells you what happened. You're not blocked — you just get a partial program.
Setting it up
- Click Build with AI under Build a Program.
- Pick training days per week (2-6).
- Pick the number of weeks (1-16).
- Choose primary focus: balanced, strength, fat loss, mobility, or sport.
- Optionally add a program goal, notes, max duration, or max exercises.
- Click Build My Program.
All workouts in the program are released immediately — you can look at week 4 before you've done week 1 if you want. The 'Coming Up' section on the dashboard shows your next scheduled workout based on today's date.
Note
You can only have one active program at a time. To start a new one, delete or complete the current one from the Edit button on the program card.
