Work With Me 1:1 Coaching - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.html On today's pod, Sophie and I are recording live in Miami and diving into whether AI is going to replace your fitness coach and why online coaching gets better results than in-person. AI can write you a workout plan, but it can't check in on you, hold you accountable, or adjust when life gets in the way. If you've ever thought about using ChatGPT as your coach or wondered if a personal trainer is enough, this episode is for you.

If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right but your body just won't change, this episode is going to tell you why — and exactly what to do instead.
