The workouts move runners and joggers through several settings that would be impossible to film in the real world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe didn\u2019t use AI to replace what already works, we used it to unlock what\u2019s never been possible before,\u201d iFIT chief subscription and content officer Jeremy McCarty said. \u201cBy designing worlds specifically for training, we\u2019re delivering experiences that feel cinematic, intentional and built for performance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"936\" height=\"388\" src=\"https:\/\/athletechnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-2.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-148091\" srcset=\"https:\/\/athletechnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-2.webp 936w, https:\/\/athletechnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-2-428x177.webp 428w, https:\/\/athletechnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-2-788x327.webp 788w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">credit: iFIT\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s a prehistoric landscape populated by roaming dinosaurs, a solar-system journey that glides past planets and a re-created version of Ancient Rome.
