Unique Warm-Up Games You Won't Find Anywhere Else
These aren’t just exercises thrown together — they’re cleverly designed formats that create energy, interaction, and fun from the very first minute of your session.
Each warm-up is built around a unique structure or game-like concept that you can adapt endlessly by swapping in different exercises — giving you maximum flexibility and thousands of variations from one simple idea.
Here's just a taste of what's inside:
Monster Munch
Monster Munch is a fast-paced, team-based warm-up that mixes friendly competition, strategic thinking, and just the right amount of chaos.
Teams race to complete exercises, rack up reps, and collect markers before their rivals do. Every round feels like a mini-game — high-energy, interactive, and full of laughs.
It’s the kind of warm-up that gets people talking, moving, and instantly locked in for the rest of the session.
This is just one of the many plug-and-play warm-up formats inside the book — and once you try it, your clients will ask for it again and again.
Cardio Wars
This isn’t just a warm-up — it’s a high-energy challenge that fuses decision-making, teamwork, speed, and physical grit into one unforgettable experience.
It’s competitive. It’s fast. It’s reactive. And it brings out a side of your clients you don’t see in traditional drills.
This format pushes participants to think on their feet, move with purpose, and work together under pressure — all while building real camaraderie and firing up the room like nothing else.
It’s the perfect mix of fun, function, and fire — and a total game-changer for group engagement.
Lucky Draw
Lucky Draw adds a layer of unpredictability and playful tension to your sessions, turning simple movement into a game of chance, strategy, and excitement. Every round brings a new twist, and no one knows who’s going to come out on top.
It’s fast-paced, inclusive, and totally addictive — perfect for creating a fun, competitive atmosphere that gets your clients fully engaged right from the first rep.
This one’s a group favourite — and a secret weapon for keeping your sessions fresh and unforgettable.
Payback Blitz
Payback Blitz adds a fun twist to your warm-up by creating a back-and-forth challenge between you and your group. It’s playful, interactive, and a great way to build instant connection, laughter, and a little competitive spark.
There’s strategy, suspense, and just the right amount of payback — all while your group gets moving, motivated, and ready to train.
Clients love it. You’ll love it. And your whole session flows better because of it.
Ring of Fire
Ring of Fire is about moving fast, working together, and making split-second decisions when the heat is on. There's a twist of luck, but it’s effort and grit that carry your team to the top.
It’s ideal for groups that love a challenge — and even better for coaches who want to push intensity without overcomplicating the session.
This one doesn’t just warm people up — it locks them in.
Shadow Fighter
Kick off your group classes with Shadow Fighter — a high-energy warm-up that gets your clients moving while teaching essential self-defense techniques.
By incorporating boxing combinations (no equipment needed), this drill engages the entire body, improves coordination, and empowers participants with real-world skills — all while boosting energy and getting their blood pumping.
This one doesn’t just warm people up — it locks them in.
...and 44 more exciting warm-ups just like these.
Top tip: While these games are designed for warm-ups, they can also be transformed into fun finishers by using more challenging exercises — think strength-based movements or dynamic cardio-based exercises.

FAQ
The manuals are delivered in PDF format, which means you can access it on any device, anytime, anywhere — phone, tablet, laptop, or print it out if you prefer. And because it’s digital, it’s yours forever — no expiry, no access limits, no app required.
You can save it, print it, bookmark your favourite games, or even build your own custom session notes around it. It’s a lifetime resource you’ll keep coming back to again and again.
Each warm-up game is designed to run for 8–10 minutes, which is the sweet spot to raise heart rate, activate muscles, and prime the body for movement — without burning your participants out before the main session. You can also shorten or extend games based on your class format and energy level.
Yes — but only simple, low-cost items. You’ll need cones or markers, and for some games, a coin or a deck of playing cards. That’s it. No complex gear, no fancy equipment — just practical tools that add variety and structure to the games.
These basic items make setup quick and easy, while still keeping the games engaging, dynamic, and coach-friendly.
Most games work best with 4 or more people. That’s where the energy, interaction, and fun really come to life. While some games can be adapted for pairs or small groups, these formats are especially designed to shine in a group setting, where dynamics, teamwork, and playful competition can take over.
Yes — and that’s one of the best parts. The formats in this manual are designed to be flexible and creative, meaning you can easily swap in your own exercises to suit your class, theme, or training style. Because the game structures are original and versatile, you’ll be able to create dozens of variations from just one idea.
You’re not locked into rigid templates — you’re working with dynamic formats that encourage innovation. That means every trainer can bring their own flavour, keep sessions fresh, and tailor the games to any group or environment.
Top tip: You can also turn these games into tougher challenges or finishers by swapping in more intense exercises — think strength-based movements, cardio bursts, or endurance drills. The flexible format makes it easy to ramp up the intensity when you want to push your group further.
Absolutely — they’re perfect for that. The games are movement-based, fun, engaging, and easy to adapt for younger age groups. You can simplify the instructions, turn them into themed challenges, or add playful elements to keep kids motivated and excited to move. They’re a fantastic way to build coordination, confidence, and teamwork in a way that feels like play — not exercise.
Why I Created The Big Book of Fun Warm-Up Games
I’ve been in this industry long enough to know that warm-ups are often the most overlooked part of a session.
Most trainers just go through the motions — a few mobility drills, some light cardio, and the same old routine that clients have seen a hundred times before.
And I get it — you're busy, you're under pressure to deliver results, and sometimes the warm-up feels like the least important piece.
But here’s the truth:If your session starts flat… it stays flat.
A boring warm-up kills momentum before it even begins. You can have the best workout planned, but if the vibe at the start is off, everything suffers. Engagement drops.
Energy disappears. Clients feel disconnected.
I created this book because I wanted to fix that.
I wanted to give trainers a simple way to bring energy, fun, and excitement into the first 10 minutes of every class — without sacrificing structure or performance.
These games have transformed the way I coach, and now they’re here to do the same for you.
Your clients deserve better than the same old drills. And you deserve to run sessions that are fun, engaging, and full of energy — from the very first minute.
To your success and beyond,
