Hi @mailimsommer, this goal is set when selecting a new journey.

Ah alright thanks for your feedback 🙂

One more question:  
Is the goal just a note for me or is it also having impact on the journey itself?

Depending on your goal, some Training Journeys will be supposed. But you are absolutely free to choose what ever you like. For me, this goal is more a reminder for yourself.

I’m not sure. If I change training journey to the one for building muscles, I still see old goal in profile for losing weight. Why is it not changed?

I don’t think you can change the goal unless you start a new journey. But you don’t need to worry about it as I don’t think it affects your training. Your training is mainly determined by the journey you selected. As melaLetics said above - I think the goal is only used as a filter during journey selection process.

To be honest I think it has impact on what journeys are recommended by the “coach”. I just came back after few years and I have my old goal set and it recommends the trainings according to that goal. It’s a bummer as I remember you could change it to get better recommendations.

Ok, so I just tried new journey and you don’t choose your goal at all. You can choose it only when creating new profile. This is stupid. I liked this app because I could choose what I want to focus on. What part of body and what is my goal. The app then recommended some journeys accordingly. But now I am back with different goals and needs. Don’t want to be stuck with 6 years old goals that don’t apply anymore…

That’s not correct.  
After finishing a journey, I got asked what my three main goals are - for more than six years and 25 journeys.  
I can just guess that you somehow didn’t go through that workflow.

I don’t want to finish my current journey right now just to test whether the goal question pops up, so maybe someone from Freeletics can verify that. But in any case, all the journeys are available in the selector, regardless of the goal you have chosen, so you are not in any way stuck with old goals.

I think we’re confusing the goals that are specified when choosing a new Training Journey, and the goal that is shown in one’s profile.

It’s the goals that are specified when choosing a new Training Journey that impact the suggested Training Journey offered by the Coach, not the one in one’s profile. The goal in one’s profile really helps the Coach suggest your first Training Journey, after that it becomes a bit redundant.

Answers to this ☝🏻 impacts your suggested Journey.

This goal ☝🏻 has absolutely no impact at all, other than on one’s initial Journey recommendation.

Of course, you are also free to choose any Journey you want at any time, irrespective of your answers to the question “What are your main goals?”.

So, if you want to “Build muscle”, you would simply choose a suitable Training Journey from that carousel.
