Just resurrecting this thread because I have a query regarding the reordering of exercises during a live Strength Trainer workout.

I’ve successfully reordered exercises previously, depending on availability of equipment in the gym, and everything seemed to work pretty well. However there’s one thing which I recently wasn’t able to do, despite several attempts - change the order of the FIRST exercise.

I was in the warmup phase of the workout with lat pulldowns scheduled as the first exercise. I saw that someone had started using the machine, so I moved this exercise down the list. However when I tapped the **Start First Set** button, it started with the lat pulldowns, despite them no longer being top of the list. I cancelled the set to return to the warmup before trying again, but that didn’t help. The only solution (that I could find) was to discard the workout and start it again, skipping the warmup this time.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I really love the app but the strength trainer is a nightmare, sad but true. I am more than happy to share my view what I think is needed.

I am also having issues with Strength Trainer. I logged all my sessions live, and towards the end when i clicked on save and complete the workout, the app just showed the saving in progress icon(circling), and the app was crashing. I attempted it a few times, and ultimately i had to discard the workout. With some of the alternatives available out there, wondering if I should continue with the app to log my workout. Tried asking the AI chatbot, and that is failing too
