Or a PDF with workouts for the next 30 days.

  This would have been an easy sell for me, whereas the “AI-picked workouts” on this pitch was an immediate turn off. But there are others who are the opposite of me in this regard.

    If you had a PDF, where do you think the list of exercises is coming from?

      I would hope from a deterministic algorithm. The parameters are finite and well-understood. I don’t understand what purpose an AI serves here

        It is a deterministic algorithm that works based on muscles used in the exercise and aiming to work all main muscle groups. I wrote the keyword AI in some places so that the average person would understand it. I might remove it.

          When you put it like that, it sounds much more enticing to me. Don’t remove it on account of comments like mine, especially if you have reason to believe it connects with the average person you’re hoping will use it. Since the term AI seems to be used synonymously with transformer-based generative stuff, and seems to appear in almost every software-related content these days, that’s just where my mind goes.

        It might add a layer of variation just to keep things interesting. There are many exercises that work the same or similar muscle groups, but doing the same thing over and over gets boring. I’ve tried other AI program generators and honestly they aren’t all that bad. I got one to spit out a program based on what I currently needed to work on at the time and the result was OK. Unless you’re one of those body building types, AI is probably fine.
