Workout Planner Templates to Log Training on Your iPad
Remembering last week's weights is harder than lifting them. A digital workout planner keeps your schedule, sets, reps and notes in one GoodNotes or Notability file, so the numbers from your last session are a tap away. Below are my roundups of gym logs and fitness journals.
Schedule pages or a gym tracker
A weekly workout schedule shows which days are for strength, cardio or rest. A gym tracker goes into detail with exercise, weight and reps per set. Many templates include both, and that pairing works well if you follow a program.
What to look for
- log pages with enough rows for your usual session
- a monthly calendar to mark workout days
- body measurement or progress pages, if you track them
- notes space for how a session felt
Home, gym or running
Gym logs focus on sets and weights, while home and running layouts often track time and distance. Pick the one that matches what you do most.

Workout Planning FAQ
Does a workout plan template include a training program?
Usually not. Most templates give you blank pages to fill in with your own exercises or a program from a coach.
Can I use a fitness planner on my phone at the gym?
GoodNotes syncs notebooks between iPad and iPhone, so you can view the file on your phone, though writing is easier on the iPad.
When should I check with a doctor before training?
If you are new to exercise, returning after an injury or managing a health condition, talk to a doctor or physical therapist before starting a new routine.
