TikTok Slideshows for Fitness Apps

Slideshows let a fitness app package routines, tips and transformations into save-worthy posts. The save is the goal: people screenshot your workout and come back to it at the gym.

Who you’re talking to

Your viewer is often a beginner or someone starting again, scrolling at night and planning tomorrow’s session. They want something they can follow, not a body to envy, so clear instructions beat physiques.

What to post

• “X exercises for [goal]” listicles
• Myth vs fact on training or nutrition
• A transformation story with the steps behind it
• A weekly routine your app generates
• Form cues for one popular move, slide by slide
• A beginner week plan people can screenshot

Hooks that work for fitness apps

Need more? The hook generator for fitness apps has 18 ready-made hooks for this niche, each matched to a format, plus a free generator that writes new ones, for example “7 moves I wish I knew sooner”.

Best formats for this niche

Example slideshow for fitness apps, slide by slide

A beginner routine people screenshot. Format: Listicle, 7 slides. An illustrative draft to adapt, not a real account’s post.

1. Slide 15 moves for your first month at the gym (save this)
2. Slide 21. Goblet squat: 3 sets of 10, slow on the way down
3. Slide 32. Push-ups: on your knees is fine, form first
4. Slide 43. Dumbbell row: one arm at a time, pause at the top
5. Slide 54. Glute bridge: squeeze for two seconds every rep
6. Slide 65. Plank: three holds, stop before your hips sag
7. Slide 7The app builds next week from what you logged today

Caption: the routine i wish someone handed me on day one. save it for your next session

A second example, in a different format

Myths your app’s approach answers. Format: Myth vs Fact, 6 slides. An illustrative draft to adapt, not a real account’s post.

1. Slide 13 gym myths I believed for way too long
2. Slide 2Myth: if you’re not sore, it didn’t work
3. Slide 3Reality: soreness mostly means the move was new to you
4. Slide 4Myth: you need a new routine every week
5. Slide 5Reality: progress comes from doing a little more of the same
6. Slide 6The app adds the “little more” for you. Link in bio

Caption: unlearning these saved me months

Proof and the last slide

Show logged progress: weights, reps or minutes over weeks, from your own account or a user who agreed. Modest, specific numbers are more believable than dramatic photos.

Closing lines to test

• “Save this for your next session”
• “Comment your goal and I’ll suggest a routine”
• “Follow for the full 4-week plan”

What to avoid

• Miracle timelines like “abs in 7 days”. They attract the wrong comments and set up the app to disappoint.
• Stock photos of models. A real person mid-workout, or a clean diagram of the move, earns more trust.
• Medical or injury advice you are not qualified to give. Keep it to training habits and point to a professional for the rest.

Before you post

• Keep each slideshow to 6 to 9 slides, the range the listicle, myth vs fact and story time formats run in ViralSlides.
• Export every slide at 1080x1920 (9:16) as a JPEG. TikTok takes up to 35 photos per post (as of October 2026); the slideshow checker confirms a set before you upload it.
• Put the hook between 10% and 40% of the slide height and inside the left 78% of the width, where neither TikTok nor Reels draws its buttons or caption. The safe zone checker shows the exact areas.
• Post at a pace the account can hold. Our scheduler keeps a brand-new account quiet for its first days, ramps from one post a day, and never posts more than 4 times per account in 24 hours. The cadence planner works out yours.
