As artificial intelligence becomes part of everyday life, many people are starting to ask what it means for fitness, personal training, and getting results.

In this episode, Paul Bassett explores the role AI can play in health and fitness, where it genuinely helps, and where it falls short. Drawing on real coaching experience and running a physical fitness business, Paul explains why information alone is rarely the problem, and why clarity, accountability, and human connection still matter.

This episode looks at AI as a tool, not a solution, and why progress ultimately comes down to action, trust, and doing the work in the real world, not just generating plans on a screen.
