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!

Mostly the substitute exercises should be either DB or body weight as that will help those of us traveling a lot

Have an area to submit feedback for alternate exercises with each exercise if equipment isn’t available or have alternatives listed for the day for each exercise

Being able to add if the exercise is one sided or alternating. There is not manual add option either, so when trying to susbstitute there maybe be an exercise that fits well but is not n the library.

Title says it really. I have plans set out in my app, but sometimes I have to change to another exercise, and it becomes annoying having to search because there are so many options. Can the app auto populate previously selected exercises before you type in to search for a substitute?

Lots of people have home gyms and don't have access to machines. Would be great if when you click "substitute " you were given the option of machine or non-machine subs

+1 to the idea of suggesting alternate exercises based on the exercise you can’t do. If a machine is not available, I’d still like to work in the same muscle groups I was supposed to work.

Can’t or don’t know how to access alternative exercises other than those my personal trainer selects

Adding in a single progression and regression button would be very helpful.

Would be useful just for general ideas but also I travel sometimes and can't find access to the equipment specified. So I try to make up my own similar stuff but not sure if it's effective as a replacement.

You can chooe alternate exercises however its the entire list instead of an alternate for a specific exercise. Also MODIFICATS for exercises should be easily available.

I think you can change them and pick any that you want.

Alternate exercises: have exercises that directly interchange with the exercise that you can't do or don't have the equipment for

Or even scaling
E.g.: if someone can't do a full sit up or leg raise.. what are the progressions.

Specify which alternate exercises can be used in place of the exercise you want to switch. (Ex.: If I can't do pull-ups, indicate which exact alternate exercises can be substituted for pull-ups.)
