How Workout Buddy Works
By leveraging data from your current workout and fitness history, Workout Buddy offers real-time coaching tailored to your needs. This includes tracking paces, miles logged, activity rings closed, and training load. The AI tool combines this data with Apple Intelligence on the iPhone, utilizing a text-to-speech model to deliver encouragement in a fun, generative voice that mimics a fitness trainer.
