They've tried. When I did group fitness classes at the gym, the virtual ones would have 1-3, maybe 5 people tops, whereas classes led by a person would have maybe 10-15 on a bad day, and the max of 40 regularly. As for personal training I'd imagine people struggling would need the extra motivation from a human. Diet/exercise advice is readily available online, but people still struggle on their own.

Automation sector growing day by day making human body idle that affect physically and mentally of a person. so opportunities in naturopathy and health sector definitly growing faster.

Look at a fitness devices like the Peloton Row. It gives feedback about our rowing form in real time. It’s not hard to imagine that before long this feedback will become more personalized as it will be channeled in the shape of a “form to script” feedback narrated by a fitness instructor who is an AI Avatar.
I believe that customers will value a feature like this.
This will also be good for Peloton as they’d need to invest less in hiring human fitness instructors.

Robots are metal bodies they do not have blood, veins, arteries, hormones, bones, muscles,etc. And teaching yoga or any exercise is not a technical thing. It's physical and mental things. A robot can't explain properly how to do it.So I think there is no chance to take the jobs of yoga of any exercise trainers.

Some people will like a more personal touch from a living person and not a machine.
That's why it's called personal training

I don’t think a robot is going to take my job but- I do think that yoga studios are going to close due to the massive online / app based yoga / fitness tools. Before, if you were curious, you went to a studio and tried it out. Now, if you’re curious about yoga, you find any one of the millions on online options and practice at home (likely doing it poorly or hurting yourself). Studios can’t pay their bills and will close. Yoga teachers need studios. Without a studio, my job is pretty tricky. Same goes for spin instructors being replaced by Peloton, personal trainers being replaced by Mirror, etc.

Cause you don't only need to sell fitness, you also need to sell motivation and motivation coming from another human is probably more motivational then it coming from a robot.
