Step 3 of 6

Make it yours

Update your equipment, goals, and limitations any time — and swap any exercise for an easier or harder alternative.

Your first plan is a starting point, not a contract. The things you told Capable during setup — your goal, your gear, what you’re working around — can all change, and the plan changes with them. This guide is about keeping it fitted to you as life moves.

When your equipment changes

Joined a gym? Travelling with nothing but a band? Update what you have available and Capable re-programs around it. It only ever prescribes movements you can actually do with the equipment you’ve got — so a week in a hotel room doesn’t break your training, it just reshapes it. The goal stays the same; the path to it bends around what’s in the room.

You can also build a one-off workout for exactly what’s in front of you. Tell Capable the focus, the place, and the equipment on hand, and it drafts a session you can tweak before you start — useful for a spontaneous gym day or a set of dumbbells you didn’t expect to have.

When your goal shifts

Goals move. You might start out chasing strength and decide you want to lean out, or finish a training block and point at an event. Change your goal and the plan’s whole shape follows — the exercise selection, the rep ranges, the way it progresses. You’re not stuck on the program you picked in your first minute, and you don’t have to start over to change direction.

When something doesn’t fit

Every exercise has easier and harder alternatives mapped to it. If a movement aggravates something, or it’s too easy, or you just don’t have the setup for it today, swap it — Capable keeps the intent of the session while giving you a version that works for your body right now. Starting weights come from your actual baseline, and the alternatives are matched to it, so a swap never throws off the progression.

The same goes for your workouts as a whole. Everything you’ve built or been given lives in one place, where you can edit a session, duplicate one you like, or slot it into your week — so the plan stays yours to shape, not a fixed thing you follow.

Tell it what to train around

If an injury or limitation comes up, add it. Capable plans around it from then on — quietly, every session — instead of making you remember to skip things. Training around a constraint is the normal case, not the exception, and the app treats it that way. Tell it once and the accommodation just becomes part of how it programs, until you tell it something’s changed.

What’s next

The plan fits you now. The next step is the thing that keeps it fitting as you go: training with your coach — the part of Capable you can actually talk to.
