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.
