YES recommended subsititions, instead of just the entire library and the user has to search. And we need a tag where we can say 'do this if you have knee paid' 'do this is that machine isn't available' 'do this one if you want it harder'

I think this would be awesome. But also:

+ Ability to set the defult filter option to show exercise substitutions in. Eg Default account wide to show exercises filtered by Muscle Groups or movement patterns etc

+ Then allow clients to edit the filters easily to add/remove filters like Equipment to quickly manipulate the list to find what they are searching for.

+ Allow us to set the default filters that are applied in the settings.

Such a need for programming in my business-let's make this APP the clear winner!

Progression and Regression Exercise Suggestions

One great feature in the app right now is the ability to substitute exercises — it’s really useful when someone needs to make a quick change.
To make it even better, it would be great if we could suggest specific regressions and progressions for each exercise.

For example:
• If someone can’t do a full press-up, they could be guided to regress to a wall press-up or box press-up.
• If they find it too easy, they could progress to weighted press-ups or more advanced variations.

How it would help:
• Instead of clients randomly picking a different exercise (which might not fit the program properly), they would get clear, coach-approved options.
• Helps clients stay on track with the right intensity level for their ability.
• Improves coaching quality and trust, while making the app feel even more supportive and personalised.

Business benefits:
• Adds real value for both coaches and users.
• Creates a smarter, more professional training experience.
• Makes the app stand out by offering guidance where others just offer basic substitutions.

This feature would make a massive difference, especially for beginners or anyone working through strength and skill development. Also to be part of the standard package you sell, no add on fees.

This feature is critical and should be implemented ASAP! It just makes sense for the clients benefit and the trainers benefit! A drop down with a regression or progression that is suggested by the trainer would be perfect. I’ve had many cases where a client could do a specific exercise and then would have to go look for a whole different alternative in the huge exercise library. Let’s make it simple and easier for them to progress this feature should be in top priority. I know everfit currently has it we should have it too.

Totally and make those changes remain for the training phase rather than just one workout.

Absolutely! Currently clients can substitute an exercise but they have to select one themselves and (hopefully) make a good alternative choice. This works fine for more experienced clients, but for most people it would be nice to be able to pre-select their alternative exercise choices and even prescribe the rep/weight/time/RPE targets etc. for the substitutions if possible.

Allow trainers to set recommended substitutes for each individual exercise.

For example, if someone doesn't have access to a smith machine, you can set the recommended substitute in order of best to least, maybe 3-5 total.

For a lot of clients this is critical. Without knowing how to regress progress an exercise it involves manual intervention and therefore a delay in the client getting on with the work and more hassle for me. The alternative of searching my entire library provides way too much choice to be useful.

This suggestion is very critical. This will make building programs much easier. I don't have to build multiple programs that only have slight changes.

When someone chooses to substitute an exercise,

Have a drop down with suggested progressions, regressions or replacements which can be pre-set by trainerize or the individual coach.

This would be preferred to thawing to build these into every workout description/note or having to beaccompanied in a PDF that involves leaving the app mid session.

It would be great to give clients the option to swap an exercise for a regression or progression.

Couldn't agree more, this one has become an issue with me as well. Suggested Alt, would be beneficial for them and us the trainer/coach.

Yes, please! I would love this feature!! I don’t want to build out multiple programs. I want to be able to list the exercise alternatives as I am building the program.

Clients don't know the names of exercises. Recommended substitutes or auto subs for exercises that function similarly would be simpler

Some clients get more out of a workout when they can pick what exercises they are 'feeling' instead of just following the plan. What I propose is the trainer creates a group of options to hit one muscle group and then the client can pick one for that day or training phase.

The trainer will dictate the big lifts for the day but accessories can be left up to the client or provide 'free time' where the client can pick what they want to work.

If a client cannot preform a squat give them 2-3 other options to choose from within the app until so that we don't have to make any changes to their program which makes their program much more user-friendly.

When you're in the exercise library or the workout builder, and you click an exercise to view the video/instructions. Have a section that shows similar and/or recommended exercises to the exercise that you're viewing.

Very similar to how Amazon has similar and recommended products displayed to the one you're viewing.

I also agree that this should be a thing

Hello,
Any update on this feature? I believe this feature would help a lot of end-users that may be having any discomfort or pain to have an alternate option.
