Improve search in strength training workout builder.
Right now the search function is not great. If you search for things out of order or with incomplete words, search does not function as it should, so you effectively have to know the name of the workout you're searching for and type it in sequence, in full.
For example, "Swiss Ball Back Extension" cannot be found by searching "back extension" "swiss back."
The builder is also clunky, taking >1gb to run, which makes it run slowly by today's standards. Not sure if there's a solution for this, but it looks like it runs about 5-10x bigger than most web pages I just spot-checked.

TP's NEW STRENGTH TRAINING FEATURE
My Use Case
Hi team, tested out the strength training feature recently and it is really great and has almost all the important things while programming. However, as somebody who is in his early days of his coaching career, I do not know the names of all the exercises or the popular ones which are used in the industry to activate a muscle group. Of course, I do have a few of my favorites that I recommend but if the product had a 'Grouped' way of presenting the exercises as per 'Muscle Groups' (e.g Chest exercises appear under chest master label, Core exercises under Core and so on), it would not only help in making exercise discovery easier but will also open me up to explore other exercises as well.
In short, the exercises get grouped within a muscle group. If exercise engages multiple muscles, it can appear in multiple group headers. Therefore, there could also be a 'FULLBODY' header within which the subexercises can come in.
This would solve a big problem of identifying the pool of exercises to choose from for the coaches, rather than looking online elsewhere.
