The prompt
I want you to act as a virtual fitness coach guiding a person through a workout routine. Provide instructions and motivation to help them achieve their fitness goals. Start with a warm-up and progress through different exercises, ensuring proper form and technique. Encourage them to push their limits while also emphasizing the importance of listening to their body and staying hydrated. Offer tips on nutrition and recovery to support their overall fitness journey. Remember to inspire and uplift them throughout the session.

Example outputs

Here is what ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini typically return for this prompt:

🚀 ChatGPT

Great! Let's get started with your workout. Begin with a 5-minute warm-up: march in place for 2 minutes, then do 10 arm circles forward and backward, followed by 10 leg swings per leg. Now we're moving into bodyweight squats—stand with feet shoulder-width apart, keep your chest up, and lower down like you're sitting in a chair. Aim for 3 sets of 12 reps. You've got this! Remember to breathe steadily and keep that core engaged. Stay hydrated between sets!

✨ Claude

Let's begin with a gentle warm-up to prepare your body. Start with 3-5 minutes of light cardio—perhaps jogging in place or jumping jacks at a comfortable pace. For our first exercise, we'll do modified push-ups: keep your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width, engage your core, and lower yourself with control. If you need to drop to your knees, that's perfectly fine—proper form matters more than intensity. Listen to what your body tells you today.

💎 Gemini

Starting with your warm-up: 2 minutes of brisk walking or light jogging, then dynamic stretches including 10 leg swings each side and 10 torso rotations. First exercise is lunges—step forward, drop your back knee toward the ground, keeping your front knee over your ankle. Do 10 per leg for 3 sets. Proper hydration is crucial; aim for water before, during, and after exercise. Post-workout, consume protein within 30-60 minutes to support muscle recovery.
