<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
    tools:context="com.homers.health_coach.MainActivity"
    tools:showIn="@layout/app_bar_main">
    <FrameLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">
        <fragment
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            class="com.homers.health_coach.fragment_community"
            android:id="@+id/fragment_community" />

        <fragment
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            class="com.homers.health_coach.fragment_workout_list"
            android:id="@+id/fragment_workout_list" />
    </FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>

58line is

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

If you are running your code for API level <11, use FragmentActivity instead of extending Activity — Damini Mehra, Aug 22 '16 at 09:54

onCreateView() in your fragment_workout_list returns null for some reason.

The error is pretty clear, you probably didn't return a view in the onCreateView method of your fragment_workout_list:

Caused by java.lang.IllegalStateException: Fragment com.homers.health_coach.fragment_workout_list did not create a view.

Make sure you have something similiar to this in your fragment_workout_list:

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_workout_list, container, false);
}

thanks answer. :) there is the same code in my fragement_workout_list.java file. nomaly there is no error. but when finished app and after run again it happen um....why like that?... — peterbbong, Aug 22 '16 at 13:23

You have not specified the orientation in the Linear Layout which i suppose should be vertical in your case. As far as i can see, the error clearly states that there's something wrong with the xml file and hence it cannot be inflated
