Integrating Dumbell exercises in my training program

[snayak2021]

Hi, I have recently bought some dumbells. Now, I want to update my coach settings so that dumbell exercises show up in my training plan

. However, there is no option for dumbells in the ‘Select equipment’ setting. Any suggestions what can I do about this?
TIA

Hey Siddhant Welcome to the Forum!

This isn’t really possible-the dumbbells are not an equipment that you enable here as they are only used for one specific Training Journey: Dumbbell Gain/Tone.

If you wish to follow a Coach Training Journey with dumbbells in the Freeletics app, you will need to change your journey to Dumbbell Gain/Tone.

When you select this Training Journey, dumbbells are automatically added to your equipment as it is required for that Journey. You’ll be able to specify the weights that you have access to in your Coach settings-I created a separate post regarding this which you can find

How to update your Dumbbell or Kettlebell weights

This is coming up a little bit so I just thought I would share how to either edit, add or remove the weights of your available Dumbbells/Kettlebells in the Coach settings for those of you trying out the new DB/KB journeys. All this is managed in your Coach settings So; Tap on the settings icon in your “Coach” tab. Tap on “Equipment” Scroll down to “Dumbells” and click on the “edit” icon Add or remove your weights, making sure to select the correct unit (kg or lbs) Video …

Hope that is all clear!

Hi @Ben

I started the dumbbell gain training journey. I want to deselect the bench equipment but that’s not working. I don’t have a bench. So how can I adjust coach to only use dumbbell equipment?

Also, what is the Dumbbell Tone training journey? I don’t seem to have this option.

Hi @null_w1r3, I don’t think you can deselect the bench as it is mandatory equipment for this journey but @Ben can confirm.
Also, I think that the Dumbbell Tone journey is the female version of the Dumbbell Gain journey.

Yeah, as Tom suggested above it’s not possible to deselect the bench. I talk in a bit more detail about this in the post below-would really recommend you take a read of it as it will give you some ideas as to what you can do here

Dumbbell and Kettlebell Training Journeys

Hey Alexia Oh, that’s great to hear I understand the frustration here but please don’t let this stop you from continuing this Journey! Although we do say that a bench is required here, you should really feel able to substitute a bench for something else. A bench would be our recommended piece of equipment, but you might be able to do these exercises using a stool, the floor, or something else. I use a wooden shoe storage bench that I got from Ikea, which I can also sit …

Regarding this question;

Tom is absolutely right below

@TomG

Also, I think that the Dumbbell Tone journey is the female version of the Dumbbell Gain journey.

Hope this helps you continue your training!
