The Center for Health Improvement at HaysMed is leading the charge in fitness innovation by becoming the first pilot site in the United States to introduce Fit-X, an AI-powered personal training system. As one of the few locations nationwide to debut this groundbreaking technology, Center for Health Improvement is offering its members a smarter, safer, and more personalized workout experience.

Fit-X, a company with roots in the fitness industry dating back to 1997, has evolved with the times by integrating advanced AI and sensor technology into traditional strength training equipment. Each machine is equipped with dual sensors that track form, speed, weights lifted and range of motion in real time. This data is used to ensure your workout is both effective and safe.

Personalized fitness at your fingertips

The Fit-X app is the centerpiece of this new system. It allows users to input their unique workout goals and constraints such as recent injuries and then creates workout plans accordingly. Whether you're managing weight, recovering from a knee replacement, or just starting out, the app tailors workouts to each individual’s goals, physical condition, and experience level.

After each session, users receive an AI-generated summary detailing the muscle groups targeted and progress toward their goals. The app also adapts future workouts based on past performance and user feedback, eliminating guesswork and maximizing results.

Comprehensive tracking and flexibility

Even activities outside the gym can be logged manually into the app. For example, if you walk to CHI for your workout, you can enter that cardio session to get a complete picture of your fitness efforts, all in one place.

According to Stephanie Howie, Director of Center for Health Improvement, “We’re thrilled to be the first pilot location in the country for Fit-X. This is a fantastic opportunity for our members and the Hays community. We also offer personal training sessions to help members get started.”

Why strength training matters

Despite its many benefits, such as improving bone density, supporting weight management, enhancing cardiovascular health, and maintaining independence with age, strength training remains underutilized. According to Fit-X, less than one-third of gym-goers and only 14% of older adults incorporate it into their routines.

Fit-X aims to change that by making strength training more accessible, intuitive, and results-driven. With real-time coaching, automatic weight adjustments, and an average of 50–75% strength gains in just three months, users can expect faster progress with fewer injuries.
