Can A.I. Function as a Strength Coach?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) seems to be evolving at lightspeed. 2024 Strongest Man on Earth (SMoE) Mitchell Hooper recently entertained the scenario: Can AI replace strength coaches?
Hooper asked fitness content creator Will Tennyson’s thoughts: “AI is getting too good, no matter how personal you want to get. It can meet your needs,” Tennyson replied. Hooper agrees. so he let AI program the final three weeks of his prep for the 2025 Arnold Strongman Classic (ASC), scheduled for Feb. 28 through March 1, in Columbus, OH.
But first, Hooper faked firing his human coach, Laurence Shahlaei. “I’m switching to another coach…I’m going to try out AI and see how it goes,” Hooper expressed. Unimpressed, Shahlaei responded, “Do what you got to do.”
