Search and Discover New Exercises
Search the full exercise database by name, keyword, or browse by category to discover new movements for your training.
Quick answer: Use the Workout Planner tool through ToolRouter to search and discover new exercises directly from Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and OpenClaw — connect once, then drive it with plain-language prompts. No code required.
ToolDoing the same 10 exercises every session is the fastest route to a plateau and the slowest route to results. Most people have no idea how many exercise variations exist for each muscle group, or which specific variations would address their particular weaknesses. The gap between knowing you need to work your posterior chain and knowing which exercises to pick is where most training programmes stall.
The search_exercises, get_exercise, and browse_exercises skills give access to a structured database of hundreds of exercises with descriptions, form cues, and muscle activation information. Search by name to find a specific movement, browse by category to discover variations you haven't tried, or look up a specific exercise to understand its mechanics before attempting it.
Trainees looking to add variety to their programmes, coaches searching for regression and progression alternatives, rehabilitation patients relearning movements, and fitness content creators building instructional libraries all use this to find the right exercise for the right situation.

Claude doesn't just find exercises — it explains why a specific movement is the right choice for your situation, how it differs from what you're already doing, and what cues to focus on to do it correctly. It connects exercise selection to training goals with the reasoning a good coach would give.

- Request: "Get detailed form instructions for the chest-supported row"

Try this with the Workout Planner tool
Search for hip hinge exercises using workout-planner. I want variations that don't require a barbell. For each, explain what makes it unique and which training goal it's best suited to.
Tips
- Ask Claude to find a progression when you've mastered the basic version of an exercise
- Ask for regression alternatives if you can't yet perform an exercise with good form
- Request form cues and common mistakes alongside the exercise description
