A Consumer Reports writer gave Gemini his goals, how many days a week he could train and the equipment in his home gym, and it built him a four-day upper- and lower-body lifting plan around basic compound lifts. He used Claude alongside it to double-check the numbers and his progress.
Before you write anything, ask me 5 to 10 questions about my goals, experience and schedule. Then design a [NUMBER]-day-a-week strength routine for me using only this equipment: [LIST YOUR KIT]. My main goal is [GOAL]. Keep it to simple, well-known exercises, show sets and reps, and explain how to add a little weight or a few reps each week.
Replace the [PLACEHOLDERS] with your own details before you send it.
How to try it
- Tell Gemini your goal, training days and exactly what equipment you have, and let it ask you questions first.
- Ask a second chatbot such as Claude to sense-check the plan and any numbers.
- Start light, log every session, and check with a professional first if you have an injury or health condition.

Find the gaps in your workout routine with ChatGPT
On Hacker News, one user asked ChatGPT which muscles each of their exercises worked, put the answer into a spreadsheet to see the overlap, then asked which muscle groups they were missing and what exercises would cover them.

Prepare for a doctor’s appointment with AI (without self-diagnosing)
A Cedars-Sinai primary care doctor says patients who use AI to organise symptoms and prepare questions often arrive better prepared. He recommends using it to prepare for the visit, not to replace it, and to avoid sharing identifying details.
I have an appointment about [SYMPTOM OR CONCERN]. Ask me up to 10 questions, one at a time, to help me organise what to tell my doctor. Then give me a short summary of my symptoms (when they started, what makes them better or worse) and the three most important questions to ask. Don't diagnose me.
