How do I add alternate exercises to a workout?
Attach alternative exercises your client can swap to mid-session when equipment is busy or a movement doesn't suit them.
Alternates are substitute exercises a client can switch to during a session, for equipment or preference. You control which exercises are offered.
Alternates are set in two places: on the exercise itself, which becomes the starting list everywhere it's used, and on the exercise card inside a specific workout.
Save alternates on an exercise
- Go to Training → Exercises and open a custom exercise, or click New exercise.
- Add alternates — the exercises a client can swap to.
- Save.
Every workout that uses this exercise starts from that list of alternates.
Add or remove alternates for one workout
- Open the workout in Training → Workouts.
- Open the exercise card's menu and choose Add alternates, then add ones that fit this session or remove ones that don't.
- Save the workout.
Your changes here apply to this workout only.
How swapping works for the client
Swapping is available to the client mid-session, and only on exercises you attached alternates to. When they swap, the alternate replaces the original exercise for that session — they perform and log the alternate instead. Choosing the swap is the client's call.
