My trainer emailed me a 12-week workout plan in Google Sheets but it's impossible to use at the gym on my phone. Can you turn it into something I can actually use?

Absolutely. Let me connect your Gmail and find that workout plan. I'll pull it from the Google Sheet and build you a gym-friendly app.

Gmail — Searching for workout plan

Found: "Your 12-Week Program" from coach@trainer.com

That's the one. It has tabs for each week with exercises, sets, reps, and rest times.

Got it — I've read all 12 tabs from the sheet. I'm building you a mobile app with a clean layout: tap into any week, see today's exercises, and check off sets as you go.

Can I log the weight I actually used for each set and track my progress over time?

Done. Each exercise now has a weight input field and a progress chart that shows your history across weeks. You'll be able to see at a glance if you're lifting more over time. The app works offline too, so no gym Wi-Fi needed. Here's your app:

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about workout plan app creation.

With Adaptive, you connect your Gmail and tell it to find your trainer's workout plan. Adaptive opens the Google Sheet, reads every exercise, set, and rep, and builds a mobile-friendly web app automatically. The app has a clean gym interface with tap-to-complete sets, weight logging, and week-by-week navigation. No coding or app development experience needed — the whole process takes minutes.

Yes. Adaptive is a no-code platform that builds custom apps from plain English descriptions. You can start from a Google Sheets workout plan or describe your ideal tracker from scratch. Adaptive generates a mobile-friendly app with features like set check-off, weight logging, progress charts, and rest timers — all without writing a single line of code.

The best approach is to convert the spreadsheet into a mobile app designed for gym use. Adaptive reads your Google Sheets workout plan and builds a tap-friendly phone app with large text, set tracking, and a layout that works while you're standing at the rack. It is far easier to use than pinching and zooming on a spreadsheet, and you can log weights and track progress directly in the app.

Yes. Adaptive connects to your Gmail inbox and can search for emails by sender, subject, or content. When it finds the email with your Google Sheets workout plan, it opens the sheet, reads the data, and uses it to build a mobile app. You don't need to manually download or upload anything — Adaptive handles the entire pipeline from email to app.

Yes. The app Adaptive builds works in your phone's browser and supports offline use. Load the app before you leave for the gym and it works without Wi-Fi or cell signal. Your set completions and weight logs are saved locally and sync when you're back online. This makes it reliable for basement gyms, parking garages, and any gym with poor reception.

Absolutely. After Adaptive builds your initial app from the workout spreadsheet, you can add any feature by describing it in plain English. Want a countdown rest timer between sets? Ask for it. Want progress charts showing your squat max over 12 weeks? Just say so. Adaptive adds features on the fly without rebuilding the app from scratch.
