Fred Fitness, a newly opened gym in Santa Monica, California, has introduced a novel fitness experience by incorporating artificial intelligence. The state-of-the-art facility provides gym-goers with a unique workout plan that is tailored to their specific needs, such as strength, flexibility, and cardio health. A key feature of their service is the initial free assessment that evaluates an individual’s cardiovascular ability and calculates their VO2 max, providing a comprehensive picture of their fitness level.

At Fred Fitness, artificial intelligence plays a crucial role in enhancing the workout experience. The AI system guides users on workout routines, automatically calibrating machines for optimal weight and reps. This functionality helps members make the most of their time at the gym by minimizing indecision about which exercises to perform and how to execute them properly. Trainers like Miguel are also on hand to offer guidance on using machines and ensuring proper form, adding a personalized touch to the high-tech environment.

The opening of Fred Fitness marks a significant achievement, being the first of its kind worldwide. The gym aims to redefine fitness using advanced technology, making workouts more efficient and individualized. Their Fox LA website has been mentioned as a source for further information about the gym's offerings.



AI-powered gym opens in Santa Monica

Yeah so we are at Fred Fitness, a state-of-the-art concept using artificial intelligence and also state-of-the-art equipment here and it really is, I like this workout because it gives you a baseline, tells you exactly where you are, for your age, what your age is like, for your strength, your flexibility and in this case we're talking cardio. I've got Miguel here to tell us a little bit more about, we're doing this assessment here right and these are free assessments that you give in the beginning, what is this assessing, tell us what's going on here. So right now we're just assessing your cardio ability, it'll do your VO2 max but also every 60 seconds it's going to ask you what your fatigue level is, how well you can talk and it judges it on a scale of one to ten, at nine we'll know that that's pretty much done. So I'm just going to say that I'm tired here or I'm using maximum effort here and at the end of this artificial intelligence interpolates this, thank god it's slowing down the machine, workout ending right now and then what does this tell me right now? So your VO2 max is 39 which is great and then we're going to go to your... 39 is the age? No, no, no, we're going to go to your bio age so if we go to down to the fitness hub it'll show us your bio age on the cardio but right now you've just completed your cardio test so now you've done your mobility, you've done your metabolism and you've done your strength so this was the last pillar that you needed to complete. What's great about this is that it uses artificial intelligence to amplify your workout so you have trainers here like Miguel who will show you exactly what to do with the machines, the proper form, that sort of thing and then the computer, artificial intelligence pretty much tells you how many reps you need to do, it automatically sets the weight on all the equipment so it takes a lot of the thinking out of it so if you ever walk into a gym and you think what am I going to do right now? Which machine do I go on? It automatically tells you all of that. Again, this is Fred Fitness, grand opening just this weekend here in Santa Monica, a brand new location, the first of its kind worldwide. We have all the information on our website foxla.com.
