Keep the training profile details that shape defaults and recommendations current as your situation changes.

Onboarding captures the first version of your profile. Settings are where you
keep it current as your goal, equipment, schedule, or preferences change.

  - **Goals and experience** Training goal, experience range, injuries or limitations, and the context
    Method should keep in mind when presenting training.

  - **Training setup** Training style, available equipment, and where the work normally happens.

  - **Schedule** How many days per week you normally train, and usual session length.

  - **Workout preferences** Tracking mode, smart loads, load unit, and distance unit. Covered in
    [Workout preferences and units](/docs/workout-preferences-smart-loads-and-units).

## When to revisit these

- Your available equipment changes
- You move from simple logging into more detailed programming
- You switch between kilometres and miles, or kilograms and pounds
- Your schedule changes enough that planned programs feel wrong
