The fitness industry is rapidly evolving with the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI), shifting from passive information consumption to active AI-driven decision-making. For health and fitness professionals, understanding how AI transforms traditional tools into advanced solutions is essential for staying ahead. 

This webinar introduces a comprehensive approach to navigating the AI age in fitness. Learn how to distinguish between the Information Age and the AI Age, explore AI's strengths and limitations, and discover best practices for implementing AI tools in program design and client support. Gain actionable insights into using AI and prompt-engineering to streamline workout programming, movement analysis, and personalized client care—all while avoiding common pitfalls like over-reliance on AI-generated recommendations.  

Led by Lauren Shroyer, MS, Vice President of Product and Innovation at ACE, this session draws on her decade-long experience collaborating with teams to develop machine learning models and her continued passion for optimizing Large Language Models as virtual assistants. With a strong foundation in psychology, athletic training, and fitness operations, Lauren will guide you through practical strategies for evolving your coaching skills to remain indispensable in the AI era. 

Whether you're a personal trainer, group fitness instructor, or health coach, this webinar equips you with tools to blend AI's precision with the irreplaceable human touch, ensuring long-term relevance and success in your career.
