I'd like a workout plan.
Stress 'SCHE-da' (hard 'k' sound before 'e'). 'Allenamento' = al-le-na-MEN-to.
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.
'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.

Can I have a new workout plan?
When it's time to update your routine.

Vorrei una scheda per aumentare la massa muscolare.

The 'scheda' system is deeply embedded in Italian gym culture. Most gyms include at least one free scheda per trainer per quarter. It is a point of professional pride for trainers to design detailed, personalised plans.
