GoKawiilSmartGym 8 adds AI-generated workouts via its own private cloud system
Fitness app SmartGym has released version 8, adding a feature called SmartGym Intelligence that lets users build workout routines by typing natural-language requests, such as specifying exercise types or restrictions. Because SmartGym isn't yet eligible for Apple's Private Cloud Compute, developer Matt Abras built a similar anonymized cloud infrastructure that routes requests to frontier AI models without logging or linking them to user identities. The update also deepens Siri integration and adds features tied to iOS 27, iPadOS, and watchOS 27.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The move shows how independent developers are working around Apple's restrictive AI infrastructure requirements by building their own privacy-preserving cloud systems rather than waiting for platform-level access. It also signals a broader trend of fitness apps incorporating generative AI to personalize workout planning, potentially raising user expectations across the category.
- SmartGym 8 lets users generate custom workouts using natural-language prompts.
- The app built its own anonymized cloud AI system since it lacks access to Apple's Private Cloud Compute.
- User prompts are not logged, cached, or used to train AI models.
