The fitness and wellness industry has entered an era where personalization is an expectation. From connected equipment to computer vision, every touchpoint is becoming smarter, more responsive, and more attuned to the user’s unique rhythm. The next frontier of personalization is audible.
That is where ASENSEI and Feed.fm come in. Together, they are shaping what the next generation of fitness sounds like: real-time personalized coaching, dynamic music shifts, and the ability to fine-tune the tone of a coach’s voice.
Imagine your coach speaking directly to you, a voice cloned from your real instructor and personalized with real-time context: “Laura, remember on Tuesday morning, I said we’d focus on fully locking your arms out overhead on the squat to press. Let’s aim for 8 reps rather than 10, but focus on extending your hands all the way to the ceiling above you.”
This is more than a playlist or a pre-recorded cue. It is AI-powered personalization that watches, adapts, and responds, turning every workout into a fully immersive, audio-first experience as if a coach was standing in the room beside you.
Choose your vibe: starting with music, AI, and coach voice
Every great experience starts with a choice: your music, your coach, your vibe.
Feed.fm powers the foundation with pre-cleared, genre-specific music curated to match a user’s workout mode or moment. Whether it is high-intensity interval training, yoga flow, or recovery, users can access the right licensed tracks that drive motivation and retention.
ASENSEI adds an intelligent layer through its SDK, which personalizes the “coach in your ear” and allows users to choose not only who guides them, but how they are most motivated. Some may prefer calm encouragement and explanation, while others need high-energy hype to push them to their personal best.
ASENSEI CEO, Steven Webster, describes this UX shift as being from graphical user interface (GUI) to natural user interface (NUI).
“As technologies like speech recognition and movement recognition allow machines to understand what we’re saying and doing, we no longer need to be typing and swiping on our screens while we workout. Instead of watching a workout, the workout is watching us.”
The best imaginable human coaching experience is a coach in the room with deep knowledge of whatever you're practicing, and the ability to give you just the right coaching at the right time - by speaking to you.
It turns out, the best imaginable digital experience should be exactly the same.
In this new landscape, interaction shifts from user experience (UX) to audio experience (AX) . That means leveraging AI and designing intentional soundscapes that blend music and coaching in ways that feel human, contextual, and perfectly in sync with the moment.
The real innovation comes from AI’s real-time understanding of movement, and translating that movement into actionable coaching moments. ASENSEI’s technology uses computer vision to motion capture users in real-time, understand what they’re doing and how well they’re doing that, and turn that into real-time coaching (in the cloned voice of the coach or personal trainer) as if they were standing beside the user.
Whether they’re teaching you how to do something new, suggesting a modification, counting you through a few extra reps to reach a personal best, or providing you with motivation and encouragement after class … the future of interaction is spoken.
Takeaway: Tone matters just as much as tempo. Give users control over both the soundtrack and the speaker.

Real-time coaching powered by AI performance data
This is where personalization becomes performance.
ASENSEI’s motion-tracking and AI movement assessments guide adaptive coaching moments such as teaching new movements, correcting form, or motivating users to hit a personal best, or push to the finish. The coaching is contextual to the moment, and personalized to the individual, with a focus on carefully choosing what to say, when to say it and how to say it.
At the same time, ASENSEI’s AI audio capabilities ensure every cue lands cleanly. The coach’s voice is mixed in real time, with the music dipping when the coach speaks and rising again when it is time to move. This keeps the experience clear, fluid, and motivating.
Takeaway: Deliver dynamic coaching that responds like a personal trainer with the precision of an integrated sound engineer.
Audio that adapts to the moment
Personalization reaches its peak when sound and movement work together in real time.
With Feed.fm and ASENSEI, developers can create adaptive audio ecosystems that evolve based on the user’s data and activity:
- Automatic volume adjustment so the coach’s voice takes priority when needed.
- Tempo and intensity shifts so the music matches the workout pacing, faster for peak effort, louder as you’re building to a personal best and calmer for recovery.
- Channel switching to adjust music intensity based on performance data.
- Real-time cues and effects to reflect progress or celebrate milestones. Imagine reps being counted aloud, “two more, one more, great job,” with subtle audio effects marking a personal best and the music building to meet the moment.
Think of it as moving from video content to video game. Every cue reacts to the user. This level of engagement supports better outcomes, from longer sessions and higher satisfaction scores to stronger motivation.
For ASENSEI, these interactions translate into visible progress. And in fitness and personal training - progression is retention. Users push harder, track improvement, and experience a sense of accomplishment that keeps them coming back.
Takeaway: Your app can now mix like a DJ and coach like a pro, all live and in real time.
