ChatGPT-guided Reformer Pilates shows no significant edge over fixed plan, trial finds
In a randomized trial of 30 adults, ChatGPT revised a Reformer Pilates plan each week, but it did not outperform a fixed instructor-designed program. Both groups improved posture and functional movement after eight weeks.
Researchers randomly assigned 30 healthy adults ages 20 to 45, all with Pilates experience, to two programs. Both groups trained twice a week for eight weeks, for 60 minutes per session.1
One group followed a ChatGPT-generated plan revised weekly using performance measures; the other followed a fixed instructor-designed plan. The two programs had equal training volume.1
Both groups improved posture and functional movement, but weekly ChatGPT adjustments showed no significant advantage. For studios considering artificial intelligence (AI) programming, the trial found no benefit from weekly changes over a fixed instructor-designed plan in this setting.1
