Episode Synopsis

In this episode of the Untitled Coaching Podcast, host Justin Estes tackles one of the biggest questions in fitness today: Can AI replace your coach? From HRV tracking and personalized algorithms to AI-generated training programs, we explore what artificial intelligence does well—and where it ultimately falls short. Drawing on nearly two decades of experience in the gym, Justin makes a powerful case for why empathy, human connection, emotional intelligence, and real community remain irreplaceable in coaching. While AI can be a helpful tool for data, templates, and organization, true transformation still happens through relationships, accountability, and shared struggle. If you’re weighing the convenience of an app against the value of a coach and community, this episode will challenge how you think about your health, your training, and your long-term growth.
