Ability for a trainer to present an easier/harder/alternate exercise as options
Sometimes as the trainer, I would like to specify what the alternate exercises are.
For example, the default is push up. But present them to them
Push from knees (easy), push up (default), push up (legs on a box (advanced)
Perhaps having a slider so they can select which version they're doing.
So clients can progress an exercise to a more challenging version, or regress to an easier version by themselves.
Without having to browse all the exercise for the right substitution.

For a lot of clients this is critical. Without knowing how to regress progress an exercise it involves manual intervention and therefore a delay in the client getting on with the work and more hassle for me. The alternative of searching my entire library provides way too much choice to be useful.

When someone chooses to substitute an exercise,
Have a drop down with suggested progressions, regressions or replacements which can be pre-set by trainerize or the individual coach.
This would be preferred to thawing to build these into every workout description/note or having to beaccompanied in a PDF that involves leaving the app mid session.

It would be great to give clients the option to swap an exercise for a regression or progression.

Clients don't know the names of exercises. Recommended substitutes or auto subs for exercises that function similarly would be simpler

Some clients get more out of a workout when they can pick what exercises they are 'feeling' instead of just following the plan. What I propose is the trainer creates a group of options to hit one muscle group and then the client can pick one for that day or training phase.
The trainer will dictate the big lifts for the day but accessories can be left up to the client or provide 'free time' where the client can pick what they want to work.

If a client cannot preform a squat give them 2-3 other options to choose from within the app until so that we don't have to make any changes to their program which makes their program much more user-friendly.

When you're in the exercise library or the workout builder, and you click an exercise to view the video/instructions. Have a section that shows similar and/or recommended exercises to the exercise that you're viewing.
Very similar to how Amazon has similar and recommended products displayed to the one you're viewing.

Hello,
Any update on this feature? I believe this feature would help a lot of end-users that may be having any discomfort or pain to have an alternate option. -

I would love this, I do currently have to make really long videos to show different variations. I do all group training, meaning they all have the same workouts. Need to be able to show progressions/regressions. ALSO would love the options to show different equipment options. Example: how clients can swap exercises, i want to be in control of what exercises they can swap with. This way I can select different variations of that same/similar exercise. Currently this is whats the biggest head ache for me,

I think this needs to be kept simple. The program is written by you as the trainer. You can then select a regression exercise or a progression exercise specific to the target muscle/movement.
The client should not be able to pick a regressed exercise unless you give more than one option. -

I would love this for my clients, I think implementing it could look something ithis: 3 columns of programming regressed exercise / exercise / progressed exercise (spreadsheet style) and in the app it's just swipe right or left to select.

Ability to specify a list of exercises I prefer to substitute for an exercise.

This sounds interesting! It would definitely be a really nice function to have. Don't know how or if it's possible from a technical point of view, but it would sure make things easier when making Master Programs for a wide selection of people.

And the ability to link different exercises together - specifically progressions and regression of exercises. This way if a client is struggling with an exercise they can switch to the easier version. And if the move feels a bit easy to them they can choose to switch to the harder version.

Add your suggested regression / progression as a drop down for the given exercise
The client chooses the one best for themIf this can be done in a group program will allow modifications without taking a client out and designing for them personally
Would be a great addition

For each of the clients workout, have a drop down menu where they can pick a modification(s) or progression(s) for each exercise. This is especially necessary for group programs where everyone is at different fitness levels. They shouldn’t have to look up a substitute - they should right within the app be able to pick one that the coach recommends.

Copy the hylete workout app, that allows a client to either swipe left on a movement for the regression of it or swipe right for the progressed movement. allow for the trainer to set up what the progression and regressions are when they build the program. on the app the client should be able to hit the 3 dots in the corner and choose regression or progression have it change without adjusting the set and rep scheme

Yes, Matt and Jason are spot on. it's so time-consuming.
