I Asked Tesla for Abs It Laughed

this weekend that properly blew my head off.

A brand-new Tesla delivered itself to the customer.

Yes, literally from the factory to the customer’s house.

No driver.

Just AI behind the wheel, navigating motorways, junctions, the lot.

Pulled up outside the fella’s house like it was delivering a takeaway.

Only in Texas, of course.

But it’s coming.

AI is slowly taking over more and more of our lives.

Watches telling us to move and breathe more.

Spotify is making playlists based on how you’ve been feeling recently.

Driving cars.

And now?

Training people in the gym.

I read this Men’s Health article where a guy let ChatGPT act as his personal trainer for a few weeks.

He gave it all his stats, told it how long he had to train, what gear he had, and what he wanted to achieve.

Sounds clever, right?

Except it gave him a completely different workout every time.

Same inputs.

New plan.

Like rolling dice.

Some sessions were 90 minutes long.

Others made zero sense.

Leg press straight into heavy Barbell squats, no rest, no structure, no logic.

One week push–pull–legs, the next week arms and abs on a Tuesday morning for no reason.

It was chaos.

Polite, well-written chaos.

And this is the problem.

People are obsessed with variety.

Jumping from class to class, diet to diet, app to app.

Thinking the secret is in the “switch-up.”

And so did the AI.

Truth is, your body doesn’t need confusion.

It needs consistency.

That’s why we run the same three workouts for 4–5 weeks.

Sounds boring?

It’s not.

Because we use progressive overload.

That means you repeat the sessions, but try to lift more weight, get more reps, or improve your form each time.

Sometimes just slowing a rep down or controlling a movement better is progress.

You’d be shocked how many new members are taken aback by that.

Like, “Hang on, we’re not changing everything every week?”

Nope.

Because that “muscle confusion” stuff?

Load of bollocks.

Your body changes by adapting to the same stress, done better each time.

What most people are doing is just fancy wheel spinning.

They never stick with anything long enough to actually get results.

They think it’s them that’s the problem.

It’s not.

It’s the lack of a proper plan.

You don’t need AI to guess you a new workout every time you open your phone.

You need structure.

You need someone who knows what they’re doing, has worked with thousands of real people.

Not just a spreadsheet.

And can build something that works in the real world.

Because real progress doesn’t come from random.

It comes from repeatable.

Your job is to show up, do the work, and try to beat yourself from last week.

Our job is to make sure that the work is going in the right direction.

Teslas are brilliant.

I’d love one that drives off and does errands for me.

But when it comes to your body?

Leave it to someone who knows you, not just someone who knows code.
