Why workout rhymes the way it does
Workout is built around the descending /aส/ (/aส/); it's two-syllable and lands on a closed syllable. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 109, assonance 4,268, and consonance 297. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Workout is a word that benefits from the second pass.
