# Whole workout shown in a 3x3 grid

A fitness format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/fitness/whole-workout-shown-in-a-3x3-grid

All nine exercises appear at once in a grid with sets and reps overlaid, either as the video itself or as the cover slide. It worked for 6 accounts, with a median of 9x their usual reach. Type: Editing trick. Seen as: Talking head, Slideshow, Video.

## Why it works

Viewers can't read nine panels in a few seconds, so they pause, rewatch and save. Two kettlebell and dumbbell posts and a Pilates cover slide all use the grid to show the full routine's value immediately.

## How to make it

1. Film or collect 9 exercise clips
2. Tile them in a 3x3 grid, each looping
3. Overlay sets/reps on every panel
4. Title it with the move count and equipment

## Hook formula

FULL BODY [NUMBER] [EQUIPMENT] MOVES

## How this is measured

- Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
- TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
- A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
- Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
