Get one exercise in detail
Once you've found a movement, this zooms in on one. It returns a concise summary, a coaching cue, and the demo video, plus the canonical page. It stays deliberately brief on purpose, the full step-by-step instructions and common mistakes live on the Gym Navigator page.
get_exercise What it does
- Returns one exercise: name, target muscles, equipment, difficulty level, and a coaching cue.
- Includes the demo video link and the canonical gymnavigator.com page.
- Stays short by design, so the assistant points you to the full guide rather than dumping it.
Example prompts
You don't call the tool yourself. You just ask, in plain language, and your assistant works out the rest. Here's what that looks like:
Tell me more about that Romanian deadlift you listed.
The coach calls get_exercise with the id from the earlier search and returns the cue, the demo video, and the link to the full form guide.
Is the barbell back squat beginner-friendly?
It pulls the exercise, reads back the difficulty level, and links you to the full page for the safety and form notes.
