In recent years, AI training programs have become one of the most popular ways to put together training plans, both among personal trainers and everyday users.
Personal trainers
- Roughly 78% of personal trainers use AI to create or refine training programs
👉 What this means:
AI is no longer “the future” – it is a standard tool for professionals.
Everyday users
- About 49–50% of people use AI-based fitness apps every day
- In total, 345 million people were already using fitness apps in 2024
👉 In practice:
- half of the market already uses AI
- most of them get their training programs through AI
Market and trend growth
- The fitness app market is growing fast (around 13–14% a year)
- AI is the main driver of this growth (personalization, smartwatches, data-driven training)
What does AI actually do with training programs?
AI doesn’t just produce “copy-paste programs”. Instead, it:
1. Personalized program
- analyzes age, weight, goal and recovery
- adjusts the training load dynamically
2. Real-time adjustment
- if your heart rate is too high → changes the workout
- if fatigue is high → reduces the volume
3. Progression management
- tracks progress and updates the program automatically
4. Technique and biomechanics (a new level)
- camera + AI → improves your form (e.g. squat, press)
Will AI replace the coach?
👉 The short answer: no, it complements
- AI = data-driven optimization
- human = motivation + experience + context
Experts stress that the best results come from:
AI + human together (not separately) – come and try your AI program at ArtGym
What does this mean from your perspective?
This is a very important strategic point:
Today:
- AI is already in half of your clients’ pockets
- clients expect personalization
Tomorrow:
- AI will become the standard in all training programs
A very important insight
The best position in the market is not:
- trainer only
- AI only
but rather:
- a coach + AI system
👉 e.g.:
- a personal trainer sets the strategy
- AI monitors and adjusts day by day
Summary
- ~50% of people already use AI fitness apps
- ~78% of trainers use AI to create training programs
- AI has become the new standard, not a trend
