AI Fundamentals for Fitness Professionals

Content:

A practical introduction to using AI inside a fitness business — covering the core tools (ChatGPT and Claude), how to personalise them to sound and work like you, and how to use AI to improve the customer experience for every client. The course closes with the ethics and scope-of-practice considerations every fitness professional needs to work with AI responsibly.

On completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand what ChatGPT and Claude are along with what they can and cannot do
• Write better prompts that get sharper, more useful answers
• Set output preferences so AI responds in the format, tone, and style that suits them
• Use Projects to keep AI’s context, files, and history organised across ongoing work
• Build a Business DNA document that gives AI the facts it needs to work inside their business
• Define and apply a Brand Voice so AI sounds like them, not like generic AI
• Create purpose-built AI Assistants for the repeated jobs in their business
• Use AI for image creation, video editing, resource creation, audio production, and video cloning
• Recognise real-world examples of how fitness professionals are using AI day-to-day
• Apply ethical principles around client data, transparency, and trusting AI output
• Work within their scope of practice when using AI, and refer out when appropriate
