How to Build a Perfect Beginner-Friendly Workout Plan in 5 Steps

Without knowing how to build a beginner-friendly workout plan, you won’t be able to see consistent progress, stay motivated, or get the results you want. Instead, you might find yourself wandering around the gym, feeling confused about what to do or worrying if you’re doing things right.

You’re in the right place! I’ve created a proven 5-step process to help you build a personalized, effective, and safe workout plan using the latest fitness technology at LevelUP 24/7 Smart Gym. We’ll cover everything from creating a plan to choosing the right equipment to tracking your results. By the end, you’ll feel confident, focused, and ready to get results without the stress of figuring everything out on your own.

Ready? Let’s go!

Step #1: Understand Your Fitness Goals

The first step is knowing what you want to achieve. Are you aiming to build muscle, lose weight, increase endurance, or just maintain a healthy lifestyle? Clearly defining your goal will shape the rest of your workout plan.

- Decide on a Goal: Write down what you want to achieve in the next 6 weeks or 3 months.

- Break Down Your Goal: For instance, if you’re looking to build muscle, you might aim for three strength workouts a week. If you’re looking to lose weight, focus on a combination of cardio and strength.

- Consider Your Time Availability: How many days a week can you commit to the gym? Consistency is key. We recommend people start off with a reasonable number of workouts to hit. If you have a pretty busy life, maybe that's 2-3 workouts per week. Start there, and in time, once your hit 3 workouts per week consistently, THEN consider adding another day. But if you aim to hit 4 from the beginning, and only hit 2, that frustration will build and not help build positive habits.

What to Look Out For:

Many beginners skip this step or are vague about their goals, which leads to confusion and lack of progress. Be specific, and don’t worry if you refine it as you go. You got this!

Step #2: Choose Your Training Approach

Once you’ve set your goals, it’s time to choose a training approach. At LevelUP, you have three main ways to structure your workouts:

1. Follow Your Own Program or an Influencer’s Program: Perfect for those who already have a trusted plan or experience in the gym.

2. Use the Precision Program in the Technogym App: This AI-based tool creates workouts tailored to your goals and fitness background, so you don’t have to worry about what to do next.

3. Follow LevelUP’s Custom Program: Balanced strength and cardio workouts available in the Technogym app, personally curated to deliver results.

Step #3: Get to Know the Smart Equipment

One of the biggest game-changers at LevelUP is our state-of-the-art Technogym BioStrength and cardio machines. These aren’t just ordinary gym machines; they’re designed to make your workouts efficient, safe, and results-driven.

- Connect with the TechnoGym App: This app syncs with the machines to record your workouts, track progress, and provide personalized feedback.

- Complete the Range of Motion and Strength Tests: These initial assessments help the machines adjust to your personal range of motion and strength levels.

- Personalize Your Settings: Every time you use the equipment, it will adjust based on your previous performance to keep you progressing.

What to Look Out For:

Don’t skip the setup! Many new members underestimate the power of the Technogym app and how it keeps you on track and improving.

Step #4: Implement Your Routine

Now that you’ve set your goals, chosen a training approach, and familiarized yourself with the smart machines, it’s time to put it all into action. At LevelUP, we encourage you to spend your first few visits experimenting and exploring.

- Start Small: Begin with shorter, manageable sessions if you’re new to strength training.

- Gradually Increase Intensity: Trust the machine’s guidance as it adjusts resistance and weights.

- Monitor Your Progress: Use the app to check your metrics and track your improvements.

Pro Tip: Don’t hesitate to book an appointment with me for a one-on-one session if you need help getting started.

Step #5: Keep Yourself Accountable and Engaged

Consistency is everything. At LevelUP, we’re more than a gym. We’re a community. We want you to succeed, and we’re here to help you stay on track.

- Join Our Members-Only Facebook Group: Connect with other members, share your progress, ask questions, and stay motivated.

- Experiment with New Workouts: Try new Technogym sessions or mix up your routine.

- Reward Yourself for Progress: Track your progress with the body composition scan or set non-scale goals like improving your strength or endurance.

What to Look Out For:

It’s easy to fall into a routine rut. Make sure you’re not just going through the motions. Challenge yourself to explore new workouts and stay committed.
