Shift Worker (4 Weeks)
Programme Overview
Programme Overview
The Shift Worker Programme is a practical 4-week gym-based training plan designed specifically for people working demanding shift patterns with limited weekly training time.
Built around a simple push, pull, legs structure, the programme focuses on maintaining or improving strength, physique, and overall fitness within realistic time constraints. Sessions are designed to be effective without dominating your days off, typically taking around 45-60 minutes to complete.
While the programme primarily focuses on resistance training, light conditioning guidance is also included to support general fitness and work capacity.
Who Is This For?
Who Is This For?
This programme is designed for anyone working a shift-based lifestyle who struggles to commit to traditional high-frequency training programmes.
Whether you work within the NHS, emergency services, military, security, industrial environments, or any other demanding shift pattern, the programme is built around the assumption that you realistically have around 3 days per week available for training.
The structure is suitable for a broad range of training backgrounds, from beginners looking to build consistency through to experienced gym-goers wanting a straightforward and sustainable routine alongside work commitments.
Programme Structure
Programme Structure
The programme follows a 4-week structure based around a simple and effective 3-day training split:
• Push Day
• Pull Day
• Leg Day
Sessions focus primarily on traditional gym-based resistance training with additional cardio guidance included to support overall health and fitness.
The programme is designed around realistic session lengths of approximately 45-60 minutes, making it easier to balance training alongside demanding shift patterns and recovery requirements.
Programme intensity is approximately:
RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion): 4-6/10
As a rough guide:
• 1-2 = light effort
• 4-6 = moderate to challenging
• 8-10 = high effort requiring strong recovery and intensity
You are purchasing a downloadable PDF training programme (13 pages).
Equipment Required
Equipment Required
This programme is designed to be completed within a standard commercial gym environment using widely available resistance training equipment.
Exercises are based primarily around traditional gym-based free weight and machine movements commonly found in most training facilities.

First ever work out plan and it’s so simple to understand. Really helped me get into the gym and fits around my shift pattern perfectly
Hi Jacob. Great to hear that the programme helped you get into the gym! This is always mega to hear. If you have any questions moving forward too we're always on hand to help. Have a good one
Amazing set of routines to suit 3 gym day visits (I do 4-5) depending on my situation (all I do is pick from either pull, push or legs from that week or previous weeks and do them again on the extra games, it’s ok to work the same group twice a week) everything is explained and set out perfectly I copied the routines onto the workout app I use so I can track (as I plan to repeat this for 12weeks, I can track and up the weight and see progress…) is it worth the money, yes!! Will you see progress DEFINITELY! And you don’t even have to follow it to a T, you can chop and change as you see fit between barbell and cable..etc perfect!
Hi David, great to have you on board. Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, it's always mega to hear feedback like this. Sounds like you're making some strong gains from the programme, which is great to hear!! Let us know how you get on after 12 weeks too. Sounds like you're all over using this as intended, but if you have any questions on the programme at any point don't hesitate to reach out we're always on hand to help. Have a good one.
Great set up. Very simple to follow. On week 3 now. Will be repeating it again and again. Recommend to any shift worker
Appreciate the feedback Jack. Here if you have any questions along the way.
I bought this plan to get back into regular training after a change is shifts and a loss of momentum. The plan was perfect to get me back on track with some tasty workouts to get stuck into! Would recommend this plan to any shift worker looking to get back in the gym!
Solid workout, easy enough that I can plan around work and adapt if needed
Great to hear that you got on so well with the programme. We're always on hand if you have any questions.
