I’d love to see an automated progressive overload system built into the workout programming. The idea is simple: instead of coaches having to manually adjust reps and weights for every client every week, the app would give an option for coaches implement progressions guide users through a structured 3 or 4 week or however may week cycle in the progressions.

For example, in week one a client might do 3 sets of 8 reps on an exercise. In week two, the app would prompt them to do 3 sets of 9 at the same weight, and in week three, 3 sets of 10. Then on the final week of the cycle, the reps drop back down to 8 but indicate the weight bumps up however many lbs, and the cycle starts over from that new baseline. The current system is way too manual and time-consuming.

coaches are spending hours each week going into individual programs to update reps, sets, and loads by hand, when this kind of progression follows a predictable formula that the app could easily automate. By building volume first and then increasing intensity, clients get a proven path to steady strength and muscle gains, and coaches get their time back to focus on actual coaching instead of data entry. Ideally, users could choose between a 3 or 4 week cycle, set their preferred weight jump (2.5, 5, or 10 pounds), apply it per exercise or across the whole program, and repeat a week if the client didn’t hit their target reps. It’s a feature that would make the app feel smarter and more efficient, and would save coaches a significant amount of admin time every single week.
There are other platforms that have this feature and it’s great. however the rest of their app isn’t fully reliable…yet. I will say those apps are working on improving other aspects and trainerize should implement this now to avoid people leaving. Because let’s face it, time is money, and I will use whatever platform is reliable first priority, but what saves me time as a second.
