Feature Request: More Control Over Custom Workouts in NexGym

I’ve been using NexGym consistently for quite a while now, and it’s been a really useful tool for helping me build and maintain a strength training routine. I genuinely enjoy the guided workouts, but as I’ve gotten stronger and more comfortable with different exercises, I’m finding the lack of customization increasingly frustrating.

What I’d really love is the ability to select the exercises I want to do, choose the number of sets and reps, and have NexGym build a guided workout using those selections. Ideally, it would mix up the order so I’m not doing the exact same routine every time.

I recently tried creating a 30-minute upper body and abs workout using the available options. I thought I’d found a clever workaround, but somehow ended up with a workout that consisted entirely of overhead triceps extensions on each arm and bicep curls, repeated for the entire 30 minutes. No other upper body exercises and not a single ab exercise! I kept skipping ahead thinking surely something else was coming. Nope. 😂

I eventually abandoned the programmed workout and finished the session on my own.

I don’t need NexGym to decide which muscles I should work or which exercises I should do anymore. I know what I like and what works for me. What I still want is the guidance, pacing, and convenience of following along with a structured workout.

I’d hate to outgrow NexGym because it’s been such a big part of keeping me consistent. Adding a true custom workout builder would make a huge difference for users who have progressed beyond the preset routines but still love the platform.
