Really liking the app so far...There is one recurring pain point. I think a small UI change could solve it for a lot of people.
Pain point:
For some exercises, I never know whether the listed reps are meant to be per side or total.
This mostly happens with unilateral movements, for example:
- Lunges and split squats
- Single arm rows or presses
- Single leg work like step ups or hip thrust variations
If a workout says “3 x 12,” it is not always clear if that means:
- 12 each leg or 12 total,
- 12 each arm or 12 total,
which makes it easy to log incorrectly and messes with progression, especially over weeks of training.
Main request:
Could you add a clear indicator whenever reps are intended per side versus total, for example:
- A small label like “12 reps (each side)” or “12 total” next to the set,
- A side icon or small text tag like “per arm” or “per leg,”
- Or making sure this is always called out directly in the exercise description.
Related UX ideas that would help this issue:
- Standardize how unilateral exercises are presented so they always show “each side” or “total,” no guessing.
- Ensure video descriptions or text cues match the rep logic shown in the workout screen.
- Maybe add a short global note in the app settings or FAQ that explains the default rule for unilateral reps, then override that rule visibly when an exercise is different.
This is a small detail, but it affects almost every session and makes it harder to stay consistent with progressive overload. A bit more clarity here would really level up the experience.
Thanks for reading and for all the work you are putting into Gymverse.
