Alive by Whitney Simmons

This app has been great. I am currently on week 5 of the Alive beginner gym program. I had no clue what to do in gym and have talked myself out of joining one for years because I felt like I was so intimated by trying to figure out what I should do once I got there that I just refused to go. Once I found this app I decided to finally join since I would have some instruction and it had been one of the best decisions I have made. I don’t have to stress about what I’m going to do that days or if I’m doing enough to get results. As much as I love the app there are a few small changes that I feel would make it even better. Being someone who had only ever used a treadmill in a gym I had no idea how much weight to start with I wish there were recommendations on starting weights for each exercise. I work out in a cheap commercial gym so sometimes what I need isn’t available or my gym doesn’t have certain equipment all together and wish there were alternatives so I didn’t have to skip certain sets all together. It would be nice to be able to use the same area of the gym for sets Most of my sets all use the same area of the gym so it easy to do everything I need but for example one day one exercise included a 12 rep set of dead lifts when all the rest for that set is dumbbells and my gym only uses smith machines so it really hard to leave the weight area to find an available smith machine to just do 12 reps and then have to repeat 3 times going back and forth.
