SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Artificial intelligence is becoming more common in many areas, and now it is making a mark on the fitness industry.
Earlier this year, the first AI-powered gym opened in Santa Monica. Called Fred Fitness, the gym uses machines and cardio equipment that include AI technology to improve workouts for its members.
Mattey Stroemer, a fitness enthusiast, is using this new technology to make her workouts more effective. When members join Fred Fitness, they receive an initial assessment. The AI then creates a personalized workout plan based on each person’s measurements and fitness goals.
Miguel Alvino, the general manager of Fred Fitness, said that while the gym relies heavily on AI, the human touch remains an important part of their service.
