"Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have found that amidst all the fitness options on the market, personal training tends to lead to better results for several reasons: It involves a personalized program, fits into the participant's schedule, and requires being accountable to the trainer. But personal training is expensive, priced anywhere from $50 to $150 (or more) per hour for one-on-one sessions."
"Ray, a new AI-powered fitness app, wants to offer all the benefits of a personal trainer for a fraction of the price. (In fact, the service is free for early users, but will eventually start charging a monthly fee.) When you open the app, an AI trainer that looks and sounds like a real person will guide you through a workout. The program will be customized to your goals, your bodily limitations, the equipment you have handy, and the amount of time you have."
Many people resolve to get in better shape each new year, yet habits often lapse within two weeks and gym equipment goes unused. Americans spent $44.8 billion on fitness last year. Personal training produces better results because programs are personalized, fit schedules, and create accountability, but one-on-one sessions cost $50–$150 per hour. Ray is an AI-powered fitness app offering a trainer that looks and sounds like a real person, customizes workouts to goals, limitations, available equipment, and time, observes form, offers progression, and follows up by text. The technology will improve with user data and AI advances.
