support for all variants

Goals come in all shapes and sizes. Our goal forms are a blank canvas with support for all variants under the hood. Here are the types we support:
​
change goals
you may want to specify that your target is the change as oppose to total value. For example “lose 20kg” represents a change of -20kg whilst I want to be 70kg is a total finishing point.
​
incremental goals
you eat an elephant one bite at a time, which is why goals are often expressed as a rate of change as opposed to a fixed value at the end of the block. You can vary the increment toggling between day, week, month and year.
​
relative goals
losing one lb of bodyweight a week means two different things if you weigh 150lbs vs 350lbs, which is why goals are often expressed as a percentage. Using percentage goals allows for the value to be expressed as percentage, for example lose 0.5% per week.
Combinations of change, incremental and relative settings support all different goal variants your coach, or the internet, may tell you. For example the statement “lose 0.5% bodyweight per week” is a change goal, with a weekly increment, and uses percentages

Setting a change goal

represent your finishing point as change from the starting point

Setting an incremental goal

represent your finishing point as a daily, weekly, monthly or annual values which compound for the duration of the block

​
dynamic goals

No need to scrap your plan if you go off-target with dynamic goals. Goals can be adjusted from the start of the block, or you can keep your previous trendline and start a new phase. This will create a waypoint on your goal’s trendline so you can see your past and amended trendlines. When setting a new phase, “set target to actual” sets the start point of your new goal phase to your actual trendline. “set target to target” sets the target your previous goals target trendline.
A common example for dynamic goal adjustments to support unexpected initial actual trendlines. For example if you set out on a bodyweight cut and your initial caloric planning was too high, after a few weeks the difference between your actual and goal trendlines might be too great to be of any actual value.Adding a new phase with the “reset initial to actual” option will reset the goal back onto your actual data; whilst preserving the previous data so you can review in future.
