The Future of Fitness: The AI-Optimized Gym Revolution

When Fred Fitness invited Places Of Healing  to experience their brand-new AI-driven gym in Santa Monica, California –  we couldn’t resist. With our friends, Leo and Finn, we set out to see what this futuristic workout space had in store. Walking into the sleek facility on 4th Street, we felt a mix of curiosity and excitement—what does a fully AI-powered gym even look like? Spoiler alert: it’s unlike any fitness space you’ve seen before.

First Impressions

The moment we stepped inside, we were struck by Fred Fitness’ clean, modern design. Think exposed brick walls, warm lighting, and an absence of mirrors. Instead of the usual reflective surfaces meant for posing, the space felt like a stylish showroom of high-tech workout machines. The open layout and minimalist vibe made us feel instantly welcome.

After a warm greeting from the staff, we were guided to the registration area. Here, we experienced the first taste of Fred Fitness’ innovation—a quick, fully automated assessment. From body fat and weight to strength levels, every detail about our fitness profile was captured effortlessly by the EGYM technology. It was smooth, fast, and eerily precise.

Personalized Workouts: The Fred Fitness Way

Once our stats were logged, the AI system worked its magic, creating tailored workout plans based on our fitness goals. Whether you’re a beginner like Leo, looking to build strength like Finn, or somewhere in between, the system adapts to your needs. No more guessing which weights to use or which machines to hop on.

Our initial workouts started with basic strength tests to determine our current levels. Each machine synced with our personal profiles, adjusting resistance and tracking every move. It felt like having a personal trainer built into the equipment. Even better, the AI provided real-time feedback, helping us correct our form and optimize each rep.You follow graphic animations who have almost a feel of a video game.

Guided, Yet Independent

What stood out most was the perfect blend of technology and human interaction. While the machines handled the heavy lifting (pun intended), the on-site trainers were always available for guidance and encouragement. 

Fred Fitness isn’t about replacing trainers—it’s about enhancing their role. The staff checked in frequently, ensuring we felt supported every step of the way.

Leo was especially impressed by the cardio machines, which came equipped with large screens for streaming Netflix or catching up on emails. “This is my kind of multitasking,” he laughed as he started his routine.
