Pronunciation

Stress 'SCHE-da' (hard 'k' sound before 'e'). 'Allenamento' = al-le-na-MEN-to.

When to use it

Say this when you want the gym staff or a trainer to create a structured exercise programme for you. It is standard practice in Italian gyms, often included in membership fees.

What it means

'Scheda' literally means 'card' or 'form'. In gym culture, it refers to your personalised workout sheet. 'Scheda di allenamento' is the standard term. Trainers usually revise your scheda every 4–8 weeks.
