We’re in a new era — one in which artificial intelligence has become commonplace in our lives. Whether that makes you excited or hesitant, the reality is that AI is here to stay. In fact, there’s likely a day not far from now when we won’t be able to imagine life without it.
If you read my previous column, “A Win-Win Approach,” you might recall that I view AI as a tool for collective advancement and good; I believe that if we use it wisely, it can move us all forward.
With that in mind, I want to share a bit about L•AI•C, one of the most exciting and promising AI initiatives at Life Time.
L•AI•C (pronounced Lay-see) aims to be your trusted gateway to all things healthy living. Available in the complimentary Life Time app (download it for Apple devices here or through Google Play), it represents a significant step forward on our mission of helping people everywhere live healthier, happier lives.
Its foundation is a blend of human and artificial intelligence. It’s a tool that is learning from and expanding on Life Time’s nearly 35 years of expertise, experience, and thought leadership in the health and wellness space.
The human element is important here, and we can’t overlook or forget the role our brains and their extraordinary intelligence plays. The brain contains tens of billions of neurons, each with thousands of pathways linking them to other neurons. These synapses facilitate the transfer of information and provide the foundation for learning and memory.
These ever-expanding neural pathways allow us to connect seemingly unrelated dots — to take facts, data, and experiences and synthesize them into new insights and epiphanies. That brain power allows us to draw meaning from chaos and create insights where none existed before.
It’s intuition. It’s curiosity. It’s our brain sparking in the middle of a conversation or having that aha moment when we’re on a walk.
L•AI•C isn’t intended to replace this incredible human capacity — it’s designed to complement it. By handling routine inquiries and, soon, making personalized health and fitness recommendations, L•AI•C frees your mind to focus on what it does best: creatively solving problems, making decisions, and forming meaningful connections with others.
What makes L•AI•C so cool is its ability to learn and adapt as you use it. The more you engage, the more personalized and valuable it becomes.
Each interaction helps the AI better understand your preferences, goals, and habits, allowing it to provide increasingly relevant recommendations and support. This creates a continuous relationship that becomes more intuitive, informative, and insightful over time.
Today, L•AI•C can give you quick answers about our athletic country clubs and their locations, hours, and offerings. It can help you navigate our programs and services, find your favorite classes, and provide answers to many health and wellness questions, all based on Life Time’s philosophy and thought leadership.
Like a toddler, it’s growing quickly. You’ll soon see its abilities expand to include more customized class and program suggestions based on your current fitness level and your previous actions and preferences. It will create individualized workout plans, and it will offer personalized nutrition and LTH supplementation guidance, as well as other proactive suggestions to keep you on track with your goals.
This early version of L•AI•C is the first step toward something that will rapidly advance, and we believe it has immeasurable long-term potential. Importantly, part of its successful evolution relies on you, our members.
We need your help to make L•AI•C the best companion it can be. How? By using it regularly. See how it can help guide your day. Ask it questions. Explore its vast wealth of knowledge: It’s informed by nearly 25 years of educational content from the pages of Experience Life, as well as by our incredible in-house experts. Inquire about your membership, or just ask it for advice.
And give us feedback. Your input helps refine and improve its responses. There’s a learning curve, so we appreciate your patience as it continues to know and grow.
L•AI•C represents our commitment to making a healthy way of life accessible everywhere, not just within the walls of our clubs. And I’m incredibly excited about its potential.
More so, I can’t wait for you to start connecting with it. L•AI•C is ready to meet you wherever you are and to learn from and grow with you. The relationship you build with it today will shape the personalized support you receive tomorrow and beyond.
