Eternal Fitness: technical lead for a clinical-population training studio
Eternal Fitness is a private, 1-to-1 personal training studio. Most of its clients manage health conditions, rather than general weight loss. I'm technical lead on the website rebuild and the AI training tool behind it, working alongside Esther Fair, the studio's Level 4 PT and clinical lead.
Esther is my wife, named plainly. This is paid client work, not a favour or free build. She pays for it the same as anyone else. Which meant there was nowhere to hide if it did not work.
Exhibit · the training plan tool
The plan the AI tool drafts, and the one person who can sign it off.
The problem
A studio working with clinical populations needs a site and tools that take that seriously: no generic fitness-marketing language, no before-and-after framing. Training plans for clients managing health conditions can't be templated the usual way either. Each plan is built around confirmed studio equipment and that client's specific situation, with Esther approving every plan and every piece of client-facing content.
What I'm building
A full site rebuild with clinical framing, not fitness-marketing convention: no before-and-after, no crush-it language
A training plan tool that generates session plans against a confirmed equipment list and each client's condition. Esther reviews and approves every output
Brand and tooling consistency across the site and the training plan output, so the two don't drift apart over time
A technical foundation Esther can rely on without needing to manage it herself. She owns the clinical and brand decisions, I own the build

Why the AI tool doesn't replace the trainer
The AI training tool speeds up building a first draft against real constraints. It doesn't decide what's safe for a client managing a health condition. Esther does. That's the same principle behind every AI-adjacent piece of work I do: the tool handles the groundwork, the person with the actual expertise makes the call.
Status
In build. Site rebuild and training plan tool are both in progress, working toward a scheduled launch.
