Mh yeah i didn't expect that but it shows that the current flow assumes a bit too much knowledge up front, I"ve heard similar feedback from others.

I'm already planning to make the filters optional, and add things like "beginner-friendly", "popular exercises", "calisthetics", ...

Thanks for pointing it out

This is the number one complaint I have with all of these solutions (and my tone here is friendly, not irritated): they assume you're already far along your fitness journey. Watching Apple's iOS updates talk about AI coaches to "help ensure you stay in your max results zone" or whatever ... my dude, that person doesn't need an AI coach. That person is already optimizing by fractions of a performance percentage point. People need, and benefit from, tools and coaching when they're starting from zero.

		> that person doesn't need an AI coach. That person is already optimizing by fractions of a performance percentage point. But that is the person who will use and pay for the app. If spending $100 will get them a training plan that is 0.01% better they will do it. Couch potatoes know they need to change, but they probably won't pay for a app (if they do they won't use it).

		> "ensure you stay in your max results zone" lol true Tbh that's exactly the gap Im trying to fill with Workout.cool. After reading all the feedback here (including yours), I've realized we need to make things even simpler and more beginner-friendly. not some hyper-optimized tracker, but yeah a simple, open, and welcoming entry point into strength training. Got it. It's faaaar from perfect yet, but it's made with that intention at heart. Trust me ! Thanks again for your feedback mate.
