For trainers, physios and studios
An exercise guide clients follow between sessions
You see a client once or twice a week. The rest of the time they train alone, half remembering the cues you gave them. Give them a typeset guide with every exercise described step by step, ready-made plans and clear rules for progressing, under your name.
- Numbered exercises grouped by body part
- Training plans and progression rules
- Free editable outline and 2-page sample
- Print-ready PDF and EPUB, one price per book
Most of the training happens when you are not there
A personal trainer can correct a squat in seconds during a session. At home on a Thursday evening the client has a short video link, a note on their phone and a vague memory of “keep your chest up”. Some skip the exercise, some guess, and a few do it in a way that leaves their knees or lower back sore. Then the next session starts with fixing what went wrong.
A written guide gives that home work a structure. A physiotherapist can hand patients the rehab exercises with sets, reps and what to feel, so the program survives the drive home. A gym can give new members a beginner plan for the first month, which answers the questions they are too shy to ask at the front desk. A yoga or pilates studio can send students a sequence to practice on days without class. In each case the book explains the reasoning, so people know why an exercise is there and what to do when it feels too easy.
Writing all that out takes far longer than demonstrating it. Thirty exercises with setup, execution, common mistakes and easier or harder variations add up to a long document, before any thought about layout. With InkMagnet you describe your clients, your training approach and the exercises you use, then edit the free table of contents. You check two typeset pages before paying. After payment the guide is researched, written chapter by chapter, edited and set into PDF and EPUB.

Home workout guide
Bodyweight and dumbbell exercises with ready plans for clients who train at home between sessions or instead of the gym.
New member starter plan
For gyms: the first four to eight weeks for beginners, how to use the main machines and how to warm up. A welcome gift that reduces early drop-off questions at the desk.
Rehab and mobility program
For physiotherapists: exercise sequences with clear dosage and progression that patients follow at home, written in plain language.
Yoga or pilates practice book
Sequences for home practice, key positions explained with alignment cues and a progression from beginner to regular student.

A 4, 6 or 8 week program with daily or weekly sessions, a tracker and check-ins. Good as a sign-up gift or as part of a paid online program.
Sport-specific guide
Strength and conditioning for runners, cyclists, climbers or golfers. A focused topic helps you reach people who already know they need it.

From your program to a guide clients can use
You work in the browser or in the Android app. This is how an exercise guide comes together.
- 1
Describe your clients and equipment
Say who the guide is for (beginners, returning clients, patients after injury), what equipment they have and how you like to structure training. Attach your own program or exercise list if you have one.
- 2
Pick the exercises in the outline
You get a title and a full table of contents for free. Swap exercises for the ones you actually teach, reorder chapters and add the plans your clients need.
- 3
Check the tone in a 2-page sample
Read two typeset pages as a client would. Check whether the instructions are clear enough to follow without you in the room before you pay.
- 4
Review and hand it out
Download the PDF and EPUB. Read the guide as the professional responsible for it, correct cues or dosage in the chapter editor, add photos of yourself demonstrating the exercises and rebuild the files.
How to use the guide in your practice
An exercise book is most useful when it is part of how you work with clients, not a one-time download.
Homework after each session
Point clients to the exact page they should do before you meet again. Sessions can move on to new work instead of revisiting the basics.
Welcome pack for new members
Send the guide with the membership confirmation or hand a printed copy at the first induction. New members arrive with a plan instead of wandering between machines.
Lead magnet for online coaching
Offer the PDF on your site in exchange for an email address. People who train with it for a few weeks already know your cues and your approach.
Printed copies at the studio
Keep a few printed books at the front desk or sell them. A book on the shelf is easier to recommend than a link.
Frequently asked questions
Is the content safe to give to clients as it comes?
Treat it as a draft that you sign off on. The guide is researched and language-edited, but exercise selection, dosage and safety cues must be checked by you as the trainer or physiotherapist. It is general education, not individual medical advice, and it is worth saying so on the first pages, especially for rehab material.
Can I use my own exercises and plans?
Yes. Describe them or attach your program when you order, then adjust the outline so the chapters match. After the book is ready you can rewrite any exercise in the chapter editor and rebuild the files.
Are exercise photos included?
Not in the base price. AI photos are an optional paid add-on you choose when ordering. Many trainers prefer to add photos of themselves demonstrating the exercises, which you can insert in the chapter editor.
Can I sell the guide or include it in a paid program?
Yes. You get full rights to the finished book, so you can sell it, give it away or bundle it with coaching packages and memberships.
How much does it cost?
One fixed price per book, depending on the number of pages, with no subscription. The title, table of contents and 2-page sample are free, so you see the structure and layout before paying.
What if I want to change something in the finished book?
You have three options. Edit any chapter yourself in the built-in editor. Tell the AI what to change in a chapter or section (shorten, simplify, add an example): you see the change first and keep it only if you like it, three times per book. Or use “Check by a human”: describe what is wrong and our editor corrects it by hand, free of charge, up to three requests per book.
