Provide alternate exercises when searching to substitute exercises
Provide alternative exercise options in cases where specific machines are not available to clients (i.e., my gym does not have a standing calf raise machine so I use a seated machine)
Right now it shows the entire list of exercises. It should only narrow down to the ones that are similar.
Hi everyone,
We're excited to announce that this feature will be coming to Trainerize!
We are currently in the research phase and would love to hear exactly what it is that you want us to build.
Thank you for voting!

Provide an alternate workout for home workouts vs gym

In case one of the exercises is either too hard or duplicated to have two or three options

Det kunne være så godt for mig hvis der var nogle alternative øvelser man kunne gøre, når man som jeg ikke kan/må lave det “rigtige” øvelser.

On iPhone: When I want to substitute for another exercise that works the same muscle group, I would like to be able to search “quads” so all the exercises would come up that workout quads. Seems that right now only exercises that have a keyword “quad” come up.

My trainer has a gym and home version of the daily workouts. If there was an option to choose which you were doing for the day, or as this suggestion stated, the alternate exercise could be listed for quick exchange. I know there is an option to substitute exercises and isn't that hard to use. But life would be easier if when you hit substitute, there would be similar exercises and variations.

Sometimes ppl are using the equipment that I also need. I’d like to sub but making sure it’s working the same area.

Have a separate list of substitutes for each exercise that way if you don’t find that machine or you are at home you know what to switch with.

I think you should have more options for exercises that use the same muscle groups. Not all gyms have the same equipment

I know there are so many exercises out there but being able to add in my own substitutes would be nice. Manual substitutions

Love this idea. I workout st home and sometimes don’t have what the workout says. Example in the cardio workout it will do battle ropes, I don’t have that but don’t know a workout that is similar in the same calorie burn or muscle group being targeted.

Ability to substitute exercises before you start tracking workouts so it changes the exercise in each round.

It would be helpful to swap out exercises for equipment that is not accessible. For example, if I don’t have access to a cable machine, substitute a similar exercise with some other type of equipment, such as dumb bells.

Let you add exercises that are not in there already. Landmine rows, standing Russian twists, leg pull ins, etc. I know a lot of people don’t have the machines and have to do alternate exercises but cannot add them do to limited choices.

If specific equipment is not available or an injury won’t allow you to do certain exercises, it would be nice if the app auto suggested an alternate exercise for that body part.

If I am unable to do exercises which involve squatting, is like the app to substitute an appropriate exercise for me.

Yes! I’ve been dying for this. Machines get taken and things aren’t always available right when needed.

Yes! It’s so hard to get the exact machine or equipment needed

Agree! I do other things like yoga, Tabata, Zumba. Would be nice to log specific exercises.
