Adjusting a Workout Mid-Session

Four presets — Feeling Great, Time Crunch, Low Energy, Equipment Unavailable — modify the whole session in one tap.

client guide/workout-tracker
What this is for: Adapt the workout to how you actually feel today, instead of skipping or grinding through a bad session.

The four presets

A floating Adjust Workout button (FAB) is on the execution screen at all times. Tap it → modal opens with four preset buttons:

PresetEffect on remaining sets
Feeling Great+10% weight on remaining sets
Time CrunchSkip accessory exercises, keep compounds
Low Energy-20% weight, same reps
Equipment UnavailableFlag every remaining exercise for substitution

You can pick one. The change applies immediately to the rest of the session.

When to use each

Feeling Great

You woke up sharp, slept well, deadlifted PR last week. Push the envelope. Note: this stacks on top of any progressive overload your program already prescribes.

Time Crunch

You have 30 minutes instead of 60. The system trims accessories (single-joint exercises) and keeps compounds (squats, presses, deadlifts, rows, pulls). Better than skipping.

Low Energy

Sleep was bad, stressed at work, sick coming on. Cuts weight 20%, keeps reps. You still get the volume; you don't risk injury.

Equipment Unavailable

The gym is packed, your kit is at home, you're traveling. Flags every exercise — when you tap into one, the substitution modal opens automatically.

Step-by-step

  1. During a workout, tap the floating Adjust Workout FAB.
  2. The modal lists the 4 presets.
  3. Tap one. A short confirmation: "Applied — remaining sets adjusted".
  4. Continue. The next set you start uses the new targets.

What your trainer sees

The session log records that an Adjust preset was applied. Your trainer knows you adapted vs grinded through. Better data → better future programming.

Combining presets

You can't apply multiple presets in one session — the system uses the most recent. If you tap Low Energy then Time Crunch, only Time Crunch is active.

Common pitfalls

Where to find this

  • Trigger: floating Adjust Workout FAB on the execution screen.
  • Component: ModificationTemplates.
  • Effect: modifies in-memory set targets for the active session only — does not edit the workout template.
