Facciamo tutti gli allenamenti insieme in palestra.

Questions & Answers about Facciamo tutti gli allenamenti insieme in palestra.

Could we use ogni instead of tutti in this sentence?
Yes, but you would have to change the rest of the phrase. Tutti (all) is followed by a definite article and a plural noun: tutti gli allenamenti (all the workouts). Ogni (every/each) is always followed directly by a singular noun with no article: ogni allenamento (every workout).
Why do we need the article gli after tutti?
Unlike in English where we can just say 'all workouts', Italian requires the definite article after tutti. You literally have to say 'all the workouts'. Because allenamenti is a masculine plural noun starting with a vowel, the correct article is gli.
Why is it in palestra and not nella palestra?
For many common locations like the gym, bank, or office, Italians simply use the preposition in without an article when talking about the general activity done there. So, in palestra means 'at the gym' or 'in the gym', just like in banca means 'at the bank'.
The English translation says 'We do', but where is the word for 'we' (noi)?
The 'we' is built directly into the verb facciamo. Italian usually drops subject pronouns because the verb ending already tells you exactly who is doing the action. You only add noi if you want to emphasize that we are doing it, as opposed to someone else.
