Exercise Notes
Recommend a notes section for any exercise when building a workout. This allows the trainer to add modifications, options, and safety tips that the client can use inter-workout.

I have people use there app while I train them in person. Everyone is different heights and sizes so positioning of body seat height etc. can be different for each person. If there could be a spot for us to put a not in while there app is started and training it would be greatly convenient and beneficial

Adding a note/Logging section. Clients & Trainers can add workout notes, questions, advice on training/workouts.

As well as the ability for them to post VIDEOS! For Form checks!

Many clients request to input notes, like the height of block they used, etc. This allows a client to make their notes and use them the next they pull up the exercise in their program.

so they can remember things like what cable attachment they used and small notes to form
or what color band they used, small things to help them further from trainers notes -

It would be good if clients had the possibility to add some notes on each exercise (ex: weight felt light on first 2 sets but last set was on the edge )

This, and allow clients to upload videos (of their form, etc) to specific sessions or exercises. I want to be able to look back at a session & see the videos a client sent at the time, not have to dig through my DMs back to that date.

Adding a notes option for each individual exercise for clientele. Having this option will allow for better communication flow about how an exercise felt, how the client felt (if had knee pain that day so did less reps) or maybe they were in a different gym and the machine was slightly different

This idea is reflected in a number of different ways in other suggestions (I know this because having recently started using Trainerize I came here to make sure you planned to implement it in the near future) I have in fact voted on a few variations of it before finding this one. It's a major weakness of the platform for coaches/clients who care about the quality of performance of each exercise and who care about implementing effective progressive overload. Truecoach and Everfit do it, as mentioned below, for something so apparently simple it would make such a significant improvement in the platform.

I'm surprised this feature is not available. I've used other training/programming apps, and having the client having the ability to post a video of their movement capacity and general patterns is essential to giving good feedback.

Yes this would be very useful! I use a different app to track my own workouts that has this and I use the note section to state any modifications I did for the exercise that day, for example doing slow controlled reps with a squeeze at top, or hinging at hip more in split squat to hit glutes more

I have had clients ask about adding this feature. The previous app I used, a client could enter a note beside an exercise to remind them of something I had told them about form.

Similar to how clients can always see their prior weights and reps, allow them to add a few notes to their exercises.
For example, when they are using a cable machine, they might want to note, which peg hole they had the cable height set to. Or when on a seated leg press machine, how close they were to the footplate.
Currently, they can only put notes at the end of their workout, but they can't see those notes when doing that same exercise later.

When my clients and myself are using Trainerize I explain it as a "digital journal". I think it would be beneficial to add a "notes" or "comments" section after each exercise. For instance if I complete a Bent Over Row and my 3rd set was too light at the bottom of that exercise I could make a note i.e "go heavier next week on 3rd set too light". It could be as easy as where it usually says "+ ADD NEW SET" there could be another option saying "+ADD COMMENT".

I would like to leave notes for my clients in their workout!

Not sure if anyone else needs this, but just a simple text box next to the exercises so that client/trainer can input any notes pertaining to that particular exercise would be quite useful for me. This would also be useful if it can be displayed along the 'previous sets and weights' section when in the workout screen.

Add text option in workout tracker for better notes for progression on each exercise, instead of only having the ability to put numbers. For example: heavy band, green band, short box, 24" box etc...

The possibility for clients and trainers to add notes under each exercise, for example: «did use some other machine/changed up the grip»
