Allow Clients to Substitute Workouts

If clients are working out and a piece of equipment isn’t available they should be able to swap it for something else that works the same body part.
For example, if the Client is supposed to be doing a barbell squat and there isn’t a squat rack available allow them to hit a button that says “substitute exercise” and pop up with the library of exercises and have recommended options for them such as smith machine squat, leg press, goblet squat, etc.
This feature is available on CBum’s training app that a friend of mine uses and he loves it especially when a gym is busy or equipment is broken.

I know we can add in the alternative but it would be great if the app populated all of the exercise library for clients to search themselves

Suzy This option is only for the us though, not the client.
If a machine is broken, or the client for some reason can perfom a specific exercise and decides to do something different, there is no option to change it.
