This is great feedback! You're 100% right that the value proposition is personalization and it's crucial to effectively communicate this to users in a tangible way.

I'm actually now going to implement a $1 1-day trial. Prior to discovering YC I was initially was going to have the webapp free, but as they often preach free products mute signs if you're actually hitting the PMF. The trial will act as a filter between those who are genuinely curious about the product, and those who are just browsing and probably wouldn't have ever paid.

Your dream app literally sounds like PARIAN after the next update. The app currently does most of what you've listed:

- personalized plan based on profile, custom goals and equipment - easily customizable workout plan that you can add/remove exercises from - comparable exercise suggestions (coming soon)

The idea I have for this comparable exercise suggestion is you will be able to do it in just a few seconds with a feature called "Swap" right in the workout page

Say you're in a gym and the bench press is taken, you will be able to tap on the Swap button and see a pop up where you can swap out either the equipment (the bench press) for something comparable like dumbbells + bench, or an entirely different exercise that still targets the chest like cable chest flyes

These exercises will also be ranked from most comparable to least, and you will have all the freedom to swap out to any you like.

Same for if you have sore glutes and don't want to do RDLs, just pull up the swap feature and swap the RDLs out for Hip Thrusts, Hip Extensions, etc.

If that's what you're going for, I will definitely keep an eye on your app for the future. I'm literally typing this from the gym, and there's 2 benches available for 4 people that all want to use them (me being one of them)

Haha classic. Planning on including this Swap feature in the major update planned for August. Any other pain points with your workouts, just reach out ivan@parianlabs and I'll note it.

Aside from dumbbells; push ups with a resistance band, smith/machines, or chest press on rings/trx are good substitutes. I use a combo of all this equipment myself for push days. Enjoy your workout!
