The article in the Times points out that people who might never have hired a coach are now getting structured training plans, feedback, and consistency, things that actually matter more than fancy equipment or elite gyms. There's also a psychological benefit. Some people are too self-conscious to work out in front of others. They don't want a trainer watching them struggle. They don't want to feel judged. With AI, there's none of that. You can ask dumb questions. You can admit you skipped workouts. You can say, hey, I ate an entire pizza, And the AI won't sigh or raise an eyebrow. It'll just say, "Let's suggest your plan," which frankly is more emotional support than most humans provide. Ultimize. Ultimize.
