I would much rather choose my workouts than use the ones suggested. I also can only workout three days a week. The workouts really need to be customizable.
My customized workout is for 5 days. I can only get to the gym 3 days a week. I can't use a 5 day workout routine. How can I get a customized 3 day workout routine?

Trust us when we tell you we spent the last 7 years building this and the workouts we write for each profile are dialed in. we would be no different than most other generic websites out there if we cut corners and gave workouts to choose for anyone. Our programs have the laws of periodization built into each program with specific aspects that are appropriate for the individual, not the group. With over 126 profiles we have written each and every workout according to any possible goal.

It would let me have a weightloss workout in the morning and a muscle building in the afternoon, but only for a week, then it dropped the afternoon workout - why????
I agree with Cody, personally I am in the Military so I can get deployed all over the place and who knows what kind of exercise equipment I will have around me.
Although not optimal, providing a back-up exercise would be good. For instance, if you don't own/have access a certain piece of equipment (Cable machine, bands, whatever) then you can't perform the recommended exercise. It also should be noted that some days users don't have access to a full-service gym, if at all.
Another option to solve the inconvenience would be to collect info on the type equipment the user has access to, then tailor the programs accordingly.

I agree with Chris... This isn't really custom
Chris

Hello.
How do you go about getting more than month one? I thought if I upgrade then I would be able to get month two and so on.
