"This is a new category of product distinct from the connected fitness category of the last several years that includes activity trackers, smart watches, and connected fitness equipment like Peloton bikes," Webster says. "We believe the opportunity is not to replace world-class coaches with AI, but to instead use technology to give everyone access to world-class coaching anywhere, any time, in any sport." It sounds great--and the idea certainly is forward-thinking. But the thought of overhauling how we seek instruction and receive necessary feedback in the gym still feels far off. The current wave of fitness tech (smart watches, activity trackers, and connected workout bikes) has found a solid foothold in the marketplace, but, as cool as these gadgets are, each of them is still fighting to become a necessity.
