Dafydd, 37, has 12 years’ experience as a personal trainer, specialising in older adults and injury rehabilitation, and said he thinks people using AI to learn about fitness is “great” because it “speeds up progress”.<\/p>\n
“I think it’s very valuable – more knowledge is good,” he said. <\/p>\n
Some of his clients already use AI, which helps them ask better questions and make better use of their time together in the gym, Dafydd explained.<\/p>\n
He added that he was not concerned about AI replacing trainers, arguing that people still value the “human element” and “accountability”. <\/p>\n
“I think the more that people are online the more that they’ll want the human connection because they want the warmth from the understanding that is missing from a computer,” he said. <\/p>\n
According to Dafydd, AI can “educate” clients clearly, remove guesswork and be more “blunt”, making coaching more effective and lowering the “pressure” for people starting out. <\/p>\n
However, he said real commitment comes when “people actually put their money where their mouth is” and show up in person.<\/p>\n
“As useful as it is at 2am, a computer won’t keep you accountable at 7am before work,” Dafydd added.<\/p>\n
For many, he said, the gym is a place to leave phones behind and stop being glued to screens, particularly for those who spend all day on computers or mobile devices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dafydd, 37, has 12 years’ experience as a personal trainer, specialising in older adults and injury rehabilitation, and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":215638,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[589,163,85,46],"class_list":{"0":"post-215637","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fitness","8":"tag-fitness","9":"tag-health","10":"tag-il","11":"tag-israel"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215637","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=215637"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215637\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/215638"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=215637"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=215637"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=215637"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
