Your Profile
After signing in for the first time, Level walks you through a quick profile setup. This is a 10-step wizard where you tell your coach who you are, what you want to achieve, and what you have to work with.
Your answers directly shape the training plan your coach creates for you, so take a moment on each step.
The 10 profile steps
1. Coaching style
Choose how you want your Level coach to communicate with you. There are four options:
- Motivational Coach — Uplifting and encouraging. Celebrates your wins and keeps you positive.
- Scientific Advisor — Data-driven. Explains the science behind your training decisions.
- Drill Sergeant — Tough and direct. Pushes you to your limits with no-nonsense guidance.
- Supportive Friend — Warm and empathetic. Gentle guidance when you need encouragement.
You can change your coaching style later in Settings, so don’t worry about picking the “wrong” one. Go with what feels natural.
2. Age
Enter your age. Your coach uses this to set appropriate intensity levels, recovery recommendations, and exercise selection. For example, recovery windows tend to increase with age, so your coach may space out heavier sessions accordingly.
3. Gender
Select your gender. This helps your coach calculate baseline metabolic estimates and tailor nutrition targets. If you prefer not to share, you can skip this step.
4. Height
Enter your height. You can toggle between feet/inches and centimeters using the unit switcher. Your coach uses height alongside weight to estimate body composition metrics and set calorie targets.
5. Weight
Enter your current weight. Like height, you can switch between pounds and kilograms. Your weight is used to calculate calorie and macro targets, and your coach tracks weight changes over time to adapt your plan.
6. Fitness level
Choose the option that best describes where you are right now:
- Beginner — New to fitness or coming back after a long break
- Intermediate — Training consistently for 6+ months with good form
- Advanced — Years of experience with advanced techniques
Your coach uses this to decide exercise complexity, volume, and progression speed. Beginners get simpler movements and more gradual progressions. Advanced trainees get more variety and higher intensity.
7. Main goal
Pick the primary goal you want to work toward:
- Build Muscle — Focus on hypertrophy and lean mass
- Lose Fat — Burn fat while maintaining muscle
- Get Stronger — Increase maximal strength
- Build Endurance — Cardiovascular fitness and stamina
- General Fitness — A balanced approach to overall health
Your training program and nutrition targets are both optimized for this goal. For example, a “Build Muscle” goal will include higher training volume and a calorie surplus, while “Lose Fat” will include a moderate calorie deficit and more conditioning work.
8. Training days
Use the slider to select how many days per week you can train, from 2 to 6. Your coach builds your weekly workout split around this number:
- 2 days — Great for beginners or busy schedules
- 3 days — A balanced approach for most goals
- 4 days — Ideal for intermediate lifters
- 5 days — High frequency for serious athletes
- 6 days — Maximum volume for advanced trainees
Be realistic. It is better to commit to 3 days and hit them all than to set 6 and miss half.
9. Equipment
Select all the equipment you have access to. This list includes everything from barbells and dumbbells to cable machines, kettlebells, and resistance bands.
10. Injuries or limitations
This step is optional. If you have any injuries, chronic pain, or physical limitations, describe them here. For example:
- “Lower back pain”
- “Bad right knee”
- “Shoulder impingement on left side”
Your coach will avoid movements that could aggravate these issues and suggest alternatives. If you have no injuries, tap Skip - no injuries to move on.
Submitting your profile
After completing all 10 steps, tap Generate My Plan. Your profile is saved and you are taken to the plan generation page, where your Level coach builds your first training phase in real time.
You can go back to any previous step before submitting by tapping the dots at the bottom of the screen or swiping right on mobile.
Changing your profile later
You can update most profile fields later from the Settings page inside the app. Changes to your goal, training days, or equipment may prompt your coach to adjust your current phase or build a new one.
