Goals, equipment, schedule, and units are the settings everything else reads from. Get them right once.

Onboarding captures a first version of your profile. These settings stay
editable, and keeping them current is what keeps Method's suggestions and
defaults useful.

  1. **Set your goal and experience** Training goal, experience range, and any injuries or limitations Method
    should keep in mind when presenting training.

  1. **Describe your training setup** Training style, available equipment, and where you normally train. This is
    what stops Method suggesting a movement you have no way to perform.

  1. **Set your schedule** How many days per week you normally train and your usual session length.

  1. **Choose units and tracking mode** Kilograms or pounds, kilometres or miles, and whether you want Basic or
    Advanced tracking. See [Basic vs Advanced tracking](/docs/basic-vs-advanced-tracking)
    if you are unsure.

## Where to change it later

  **Web**

Account settings hold your profile, training setup, schedule, and workout
    preferences in one place.

  **iOS**

Settings splits the same options across Goals & experience, Training
    setup, Schedule, and Workout preferences.

## When to revisit these settings

- 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
