Hi there I have used the app for several years and I miss something.  
Regarding Strength journeys there are separate journeys for

- Dumbbells
- Kettlebell
- Barbell

But I do not see any journey that combines the 3 of them, and that would we a good combination. Or I cannot jump from one to the other. I have to stop the journey and start a new one.

Currently I am doing the Dumbbells and I miss exercises from the hybrid Strength… doing pull ups or using the rope…

My ideal training would be a mix of the three, adding all the elements + bar for pullups or the rope or also a weight ball. And ending up with a hitt or core training per session.

Hi @alfonso.olias.sanz ,

That’s a great feedback! and I think Freeletics is currently working on improving the training journey and not being restricted to a Journey’s restrictions: e.g. Dumbbell journey just being able to use dumbbells.

Hopefully that comes soon!

Another insight.  
When you finish a journey and starts the same or another. You start from the very beginning and do not considers your progression

I feel the same, you just fill in the quiz you did before at the barbell journey. It doesnt make you progrress

That would be a dream, because I honestly don’t get the limitations. Like, I use the app because I don’t want to go to the gym, so invested in the app and some equipment, but I can’t even utilise it properly. For example, I have a set of weights, a barbell and a kettlebell, all of different weight, cause I don’t see a point in duplicating. But I can’t perform one exercise using dumbbells with the appropriate weight and then move to another exercise and do it with a kettlebell and finish it up with some heavier barbell lifting. No, I get limitations all over the place. So when the 5 k dumbbells become too light, what do I get? I get workouts with 40+ repetitions of the same exercise at a time, for 5-7 sets. Why can’t I get a barbell exercise instead to tackle the same muscle group when I have it available? And if we are talking about one-handed exercises or exercises utilizing one dumbbell, why can’t I be prompted to take the kettlebell instead if its weight is more logical at that point of the journey? I started using the app, cause it was advertised as adjustable and personalised, and what I’m seeing is anything but. So I really hope some changes are coming, because I thought this app was targeted at people that don’t have a bunch of equipment, but what I see is that it’s not considered AT ALL. And yes, I know I can use kettlebell instead of dumblell and so on, but I lack instructions and video prompts when I do that and I definitely am more likely to perform the exercise incorrectly or even in a damaging was. And what pisses me out the most is that all what is needed for such a journey is already there, all the exercises, the videos, but there is no freedom to use it all, so much for personal coach.

Barbell training is too boring  
same workout every day  
I don’t know why  
few years I use it and there are no new exercises
