Substitute Exercises
It would be amazing to have a small drop down menu below every exercise where I can put what exercises a client should sub with if needed, little space for 1-3 options. Easy scroll and choose and it automatically switches into the workout. Clients searching on their own substitute exercises is a pain.

I just found this after posting something similar. I totally agree with you said.
Just to add to yours: here is what I put: 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. -

YES! Clients need modifications, I usually just film it myself or write a note.

This would be an awesome option! I write the suggestions in the workout notes, but gosh, I WISH they would just sync across the subsequent workouts. That would be awesome.

YES. This is a feature not available on most platforms i believe, but would be a game changer. It's a repetitive task as a coach which can easily be automated by just having some options pre-suggested and added in when building the program

Yes! This would be so great especially for my pregnant clients and those that don't have access to all equipment.

This would be amazing as not every one has all the equipment or the ability.
