This is a major lacking feature in Trainerize, in my opinion! Would be great to have it ASAP. My clients used commenting on specific exercises extensively with the previous app we used. E.g. there's nowhere to notate "red band" or "medium resistance" for mini-bands and resistance band exercises. Many of my clients train exclusively at home, and right now the only option is to input a number for weight, which doesn't work for bands.

You could easily have an icon that says something like “see specific instructions”

And then it will be a pop up that they can close after they read it

I want to be able to write something like.

“Give me 2 sets of 10, last set hit a triple drop set. Once you hit failure, do partials from the bottom”

Yes! I always have to type “See note above” and type my note up in the Instructions section. Would be much better for the client and trainer if I could type the whole note beside the exercise.

I've been BEGGING for this feature for I don't know how long. The last reply I got was "we found that this would make the screen too crowded". How about a little icon next to the exercise that would open up any comments left on that exercise with dates? Shouldn't be a hard thing to do.

Not just for instructions, but also things like forced reps, RPE, if the exercise was assisted etc...

This would be extremely helpful as clients often forget which band they used last time.

Sometimes during a session I may want someone to perform slow negatives, or partial reps, or drop sets - I want to be able to denote that directly on the exercise when I’m programming it

I think this would be good for clients AND trainers. My clients want to track things like seat position on equipment.

Allow a note section for each exercise that is put into a workout. This would be great to teach the client what to feel/look for in the exercise or to add variety such as 1/4 reps.

This is a huge piece missing in the software. Please fix it asap!

Allow trainers to write a comment or instruction on each individual exercise instead of the whole program.
So non english speakers can write instructions in their own language.

Would be handy if they are struggling with a movement,
Even if we as trainers wanted to implement RPE (rate of perceived exertion)

I think this is important for clients to track RPE/RPT, which band was used for say band assisted pullups, any variation used etc.
Adding in general workout notes is less than ideal and I would want to see this in the same way previous reps/weight shows next to the exercise, ideally. Just a note box below each exercise.

Ability to add specific notes to an exercise that will show up when that exercise is programmed, instead of just assign notes to the general workout

Also to be able to refer to previous notes for that particular exercise so when they are doing that same training session again, they can see what their note was the week before.

Example: They may have felt some pain in the right shoulder the week before. Then next week they can see that they were feeling some pain and be aware if the condition has improved.

Maybe you could have a small note icon next to each exercise during that workout that they can click on to review previous notes or add new notes?

I have clients that make notes on exercises or workouts and want me to review them. The only way to know if they’ve made notes is either by them telling me or me going in and manually searching. I want to get notified when a client makes a note.

The ability to comment notes for each exercise to input RPEs and other values other than reps and weight, like a red or blue band and such

Notes can be written next to an individual exercise where you input weight and reps done. And allow the client & trainer to see notes when looking at the previous workout(s).

Definitely need tonite if they switch weight in the middle of the set. Example: shoulder press 22 reps but they can only do 8 reps at 20 pounds and need to finish the set off at 15 pounds

Yes!! Why isn't this a thing yet?!?

For the trainer and the client. I want to be able to say "drop set on your last set" for example and want them to be able to give me feedback on a specific exercise, not the whole session. Those notes should be accessible list previous stats so we can both reference.
