A place to include proper settings for machines, etc. A lot of clients tend to forget.

I definitely vote for this idea, and think @steffanshelemey nailed it with his suggestions.

To be able to track things such as band assisted chin ups, or the height at which a client is doing push ups onto.

Also to be able to gauge the "RIR" (reps in reserve) or "RPE" (Rate of perceived exertion) would be SO valuable to be able to make note of and track.

Thanks!!

- any issues that day ( ie injury, poor sleep)
- coaching cues specific to this person / their homework to practice on this exercise

would like to see each exercise that has notes highlighted in some way, maybe by colour or by an icon next to it so both the client and you know there is an exercise note without having to open every exercise to see if there is one there.... or maybe even just the option on the standard notes tab to 'copy to next workout / s .

I already mentioned below, I'd like to have the option to receive notifications when my virtual clients leave any kind of notes in a workout or exercise for me to review. Thank you!

Most machine and free weight exercises are fairly straight forward but body weight exercises need specific notes to track progress.

Examples of what I might take note of beside each individual body weight exercise:

Band Assisted Pull Up: 8 reps with "1 inch" band at "level 7 on the J-hooks"

Progression would look like: 8 reps with "1/2 inch" band at "level 7 on the J-hooks"

Gotta be able to track band assist with notes beside the exercise rep count

RIR - Reps In Reserve: I may ask my clients to track their RIR on their first or last set for a certain exercise to "gauge" how hard their working with the chosen weight. If they say they had 3-4 reps in reserve...I know they could be working harder. If they say they had 1 RIR...they're training "just right".

It can also show me progress. For example:

BB Bench Press: Set 1: 6 reps @ 225 lbs with 1 RIR

2 months later... Set 1: 6 reps @ 225 lbs with 2-3 RIR (here I can note that performing the same lift is now easier in terms of RPE...the client is getting stronger. Anytime we can show the client progress, that is a major win!).

Anyways, all I need is a box beside each "set x rep x weight" box so the client can make whatever note I need them to take please and thank you.

ALSO...

when you take notes (top right of program), they are limited to being viewed only on that day. It would be so much better if the notes were CUMULATIVE with the program. Meaning: If I take a note about a particular workout on September 1st...I can train that client on September 30th and be able to view that note in the note taking section while remaining on September 30th training day.

Currently, I have to save and back out of the current work out to review an old work out by scrolling back to September 1st in order to review any notes WHILE training my client. This is no good.

Thank you adding better note taking abilities : )

For me a general text box for notes on each exercise is fine. I’d love to see them in workout review and on the dash (both overview and client dash).

Thanks for reaching out Trevor!

Example could be as followes:
-felt some discomfort in shoulder so lightened weight
-using cable column at condo gym (weights dont match exactly)
-used black band for last 2 chinups to complete the set

Being able to view them when looking at history for the exercise or looking at progress page it could be a note icon that when clicked it expands the note

Additionally, I would like to get notifications of when they leave me a note. I honestly didn't even know this was a feature because I get multiple notifications that they've checked into a workout, but no notice that they have notes for me, or questions.

Any updates on this? This is must have and should be so simple to implement?

Allow clients to write notes for a specific exercise which can be accessed on subsequent workouts when performing the same exercise. Similar to previous stats.

wow, how can something this simple NOT be added yet? Seems like a complete no-brainer to me.

Add a place where we can leave notes regarding our clients and their exercises based on any on-going consults we have with them? The 'notes' in the profile won't allow for more than a few sentences. I would like to leave 'over-all' notes that would need to be reviewed so I can be reminded of conversations/client concerns etc. separate from any particular workout program and even be able to upload a copy of any relevant documentation. Thanks!

I think it's worth noting that this has been under review since October 20, 2014.

Also, clients should be able to see their notes in the app when they next do the same exercises.

For trainer: Add a special note section for exercise in exercise instruction, not in general instruction area, without having to edit the exercise template.

Totally agree. Super important but yeah great job otherwise

The deeper I get into switching from my current system into the app, the more this feature becomes absolutely imperative.

Agreed!

Yeah, this is something I would definitely find useful

I would like to be able to insert a text box (ie just prior to a super set grouping or a finisher) so that I can give more detailed direction specific to that group or movement.

Right now it has to go up in the workout directions and just gets lost = clients miss it or forget it as it isnt right in front of them at the moment.

Thanks,
