Search the exercise library
This is the workhorse. Ask for a movement by muscle, by equipment, or just describe it, and the coach searches Gym Navigator's exercise library and hands back a short list. Each result carries a link to the full form guide, demo video, and FAQ on the site.
search_exercises What it does
- Searches by free-text name, target muscle, equipment, or any mix of the three.
- Returns a tidy shortlist instead of a wall of results (8 by default, up to 25).
- Every entry includes the canonical gymnavigator.com link to the full guide.
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:
Show me some dumbbell shoulder exercises.
The coach runs search_exercises with muscle "shoulders" and equipment "dumbbell", then lists a handful of movements with a link to each full guide.
I need a bodyweight core move I can do in a hotel room.
It searches with muscle "core" and equipment "bodyweight" and returns options you can do with zero kit, each linked to its demo video.
What can I superset with a barbell bench press?
It searches for complementary pushing or pulling movements and suggests pairings, linking every exercise back to Gym Navigator.
