AI Personal Trainer from Tough Mudder Founder

- The new AI venture from Tough Mudder co-founder Will Dean is called CoachCube. It delivers personal training within private, interactive smart rooms known as 'cubes'. - Will Dean and Guy Livingstone co-founded the Tough Mudder obstacle course series in 2009; it was later acquired by rival company Spartan in 2020. - CoachCube's system utilizes form-tracking cameras and AI analysis to replicate the guidance and adaptability of a human personal trainer, adjusting workouts in real-time based on user performance. - Dean's stated goal for CoachCube is not to replace human trainers but to make elite-level coaching more accessible and affordable, overcoming the scaling challenges he witnessed with Tough Mudder. - The AI can modify sessions on the fly to accommodate for real-world situations, such as a user arriving late or needing to work around a minor injury. - This is not Dean's first venture since Tough Mudder; he also launched the digital entertainment company Immersive Gamebox in 2018. - The system is designed to integrate with smartwatches and other fitness apps, allowing for a more holistic tracking of a user's activity and progress. - To promote its launch, CoachCube is offering free 30-minute trial sessions to the public at Shapesmiths Gym in London until the end of March.
