Apple’s new Workout Buddy helps you sweat smarter
Apple has launched at its WWDC 2025 conference Workout Buddy, an AI workout coach. The AI tool gathers data from both your current workout and your fitness history – including paces, miles logged, activity rings closed, and training load – to coach you through workouts in real time.
Combined with Apple Intelligence on the iPhone, Workout Buddy relies on a text-to-speech model to translate encouragement into a fun generative voice that sounds like a fitness trainer.
