#2Hey, I'm working on a community sourced fitness routine database where users can upload and share routines. Does this site seem useful to you? https://routinedb.com/routines

#3I like it! It looks similar to strong lifts app. Will you have your own app that goes alongside this?

#4Would _love_ to see a community sourced database of "explain it like I'm 5" translations.
Example: What does "Bent Over Lateral Raise" mean? Show me? Lateral ... to what?
I'm sure I can figure that out, but, for the newbies of the world it's another hurdle to keep them from actually starting/moving.

#5At least when I've joined a gym, a person there would assess your fitness, ask what your goals are, and based on that you would get an exercise routine.
Following a random exercise routine can result in injury.
You should at the very least talk to a lawyer and put a disclaimer in that page.

Pre made routines would be awesome

Great idea, thanks for the feedback!

I think the first step would be to export routines as a spreadsheet. Eventually an app would be awesome though. Do you have any suggestions?
