Elaborate Workout Descriptions

[Mianevem]

Hi! I've noticed that the workout descriptions are now longer and obviously a lot of attention and effort is put into writing them. And they are so nice to read! They really help set the atmosphere and prepare the mind for the hard work ahead (or for a nice relaxing session, depending on the workout ). But have you considered their accessibility to those who only speak enough English to just get by? All these synonyms and carefully crafted sentences would be hard to tackle for them, so they would either have to rely on AI / a translation service (or look up  many words in a dictionary, but if they put that much effort in it, the language barrier won't be an issue for long ), or disregard the descriptions completely, even though sometimes there are very useful instructions or advice hidden in there.

I'm not sure if this is a real issue as I have no idea what the composition of Darebee-visitors is, and, as I said, I enjoy using these beautifully written descriptions to put myself in the right mood, but I'll leave this comment here just to make sure this aspect is considered (if it wasn't already, of course).

And, as always, thank you for your work!

@Mianevem thank you for this - it's a really good point and honestly one we hadn't thought about enough. We are a small team and we get tunnel vision sometimes! We discussed it and yes, we will be more mindful of this going forward. The descriptions should be enjoyable but they also need to be useful to everyone, not just fluent English speakers. We appreciate you taking the time to bring it up
