YourPT launches ChatYPT to combat ‘unsafe’ AI-generated workouts

Your Personal Training (YourPT) has launched ChatYPT; a free national advice and workout review service addressing the rapid rise in AI-driven workouts and the associated risks of generic and unsafe guidance.

According to ABC Fitness’ Summer 2025 Wellness Watch Report, nearly 50% of consumers use AI-powered fitness and wellness apps daily – creating both opportunity and challenge for the fitness industry. Those trusting AI-generated workouts, which are often created without taking into account individual needs and restrictions, could be opening themselves up to potential risk and misconceptions.

In response to the growing trend, the new ChatYPT service will allow users to submit their AI-generated workouts or fitness questions using the Typeform platform and receive personalised feedback from qualified YourPT professionals and industry experts within 48 hours.

YPT Ambassadors will also respond directly to common questions on social channels to help strengthen public understanding and highlight where AI can potentially raise cause for concern, and how best to approach AI as part of any fitness goal.

The service is designed to combine the convenience of AI with human judgement to improve safety, support individual needs and correct common AI fitness misconceptions.

“People enjoy the speed and convenience of AI tools but they know these tools lack human understanding,” comments Aaron McCulloch, Co-Owner and Director of YOUR Personal Training.

“AI will never fully understand the individual and contextual details that a real professional sees when reviewing a plan or answering a question. ChatYPT brings real trainers into the conversation to correct mistakes, address misinformation and ensure safe, effective training guidance.”
