Personal trainers and nutritionists can sometimes feel like luxuries only celebrities can afford.

However, personalized fitness training plans and nutrition recommendations are more accessible than you may think.

In fact, Microsoft Copilot AI has a “Fitness Trainer” GPTlet’s try it out.

That’s what excited me about Copilot’s Fitness Trainer GPT.

That’s the idea, at least.

What are some stretches I can try for a sore knee?

Microsoft Copilot Fitness Trainer recipe.

But I wanted more, and it ignored that I said I had foam rollers and resistance bands.

So, I got more specific.

What can I do with a foam roller and resistance bands to help a sore knee?

Again, these are all things that a human physical trainer told me to do.

The next question I would ask a human is, “How often should I do this stuff?”

How often should I do these exercises?

That also checks out with what I was told in real life.

If you’ve never attempted a half marathon, a training plan is immensely helpful.

So, let’s see what the Copilot Fitness Trainer can do.

I’m going to get real specific with my request.

I am running a half marathon in 6 weeks.

I can already run 5 miles pretty easily.

I would like to run 3 times per week.

Can you create a training plan for me?

Copilot spit out a long bulleted list, which I put in the chart below for easy viewing.

That’s a pretty solid training plan that lines up with other training plans I’ve seen online.

I just asked for it.

Let’s see what Copilot can do.

I’d like to get stronger for swimming.

Can you create a weightlifting routine for me?

Again, Copilot put its responses into a bulleted list, but here it is in a handy chart.

Get Help With Training Nutrition

The last thing to try out is food recommendations.

I was curious to see if I could get a more personal touch with Copilot.

What should I eat after swim training?

Copilot gave me these three suggestions:

Sounds yummy.

Let’s try a different activity.

What should I eat the night before a half marathon?

First, Copilot gave me some general information about what types of foods are best to eat.

I wanted more specific recommendations, so I asked.

Can you give me specific recipes?

Copilot responded with a full recipe that included ingredients and instructions for “Chicken Curry with Rice.”

I’m pretty impressed with Copilot’s Fitness Trainer GPT.

For the most part, it seems to be giving accurate information.

That’s all part of why it’s an interesting tool.
