iFIT and Huge launch AI-generated cinematic fitness worlds using Google's Veo 3 technology

Design and technology company Huge has partnered with iFIT to create "Realms You Can't Reach", a series of AI-generated fantasy running experiences for treadmill workouts. The collaboration uses Google's Veo 3 technology to produce five immersive videos featuring impossible-to-film worlds. Huge developed a custom production pipeline combining narrative storyboarding, Midjourney visuals and Veo 3 video generation to create 20-30 minute point-of-view runs through prehistoric, mythic and futuristic landscapes. The series launched to iFIT members on 12 January 2026. The project demonstrates AI as a production tool rather than a gimmick, enabling content that complements iFIT's existing trainer-led programming and library of over 10,000 workouts. iFIT has 6 million users globally and owns brands including NordicTrack, ProForm and Freemotion.
