### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-06-01*

Have had this app for a few years. Always come back to it. The workouts are as easy or as hard as you want.

### 5/5 — Perfect for a bus Mom

*2026-03-15, version 4.1.2*

I’ve been using Ardor for over a year and I love it! I especially appreciate that you can save multiple gyms equipment; your basic set up at home, full supply at your local gym, or zero supplies when you’re on the go. Want a quick workout, no problem. Have time to add on, easy! Ardor is always able to adapt to my time frame and location.

### 5/5 — Perfect app

*2026-03-06, version 4.1.1*

I’m impressed. Really enjoying working out with this app.

### 5/5 — The only gym app for my needs

*2026-01-31, version 4.0.5*

I’ve tried many different gym apps but and this is the only one that fits into my hit training plan!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-01-31, version 4.0.5*

Very professional and detailed compared to other fitness apps. The workouts and guidance feel well thought out and actually useful. Highly recommend.

### 1/5 — App down often

*2025-09-17*

App often can’t load. Currently does not load right now.

### 5/5 — Amazing workability

*2025-03-08, version 3.3.0*

This app is all time. The ability to move things and customize workouts so easily - and the progression of the workouts is incredible. A+, and the 'A' is for Ardor

### 5/5 — Your own CrossFit trainer

*2025-03-05*

Fantastic app - gives challenging but flexible workouts that cover all the bases. This has kept me motivated when working out in my garage as much as I was when I was in a CrossFit gym.

### 4/5 — great base app, want updates

*2024-12-22*

i have been using this app for about 4 months now. i love the way it tracks lifts and adapts your weights daily/weekly. I would really like for an option to rearrange the monthly programs so that entire days can be switched for the full 4 weeks. for example, the program wants me to do a deadlift focused day on tuesdays and a squat focused day on wednesdays; for best recovery, i want to stagger my deadlift and squat days with an arm focused day in between (ie: dl - mon, bench - tues, squat - wed). I find that the app does not have an easy way to make those small adjustments. adding this feature would make it a 5 star app for me.

### 5/5 — Great workout programming app

*2024-02-07*

I’ve been using Ardor for about a week. Initially had concerns about it fitting my equipment (it was prescribing kettlebells or dumbbells that I don’t have), but then realized that you can change them right before you begin the workout (try it). It’s been great ever since I figured that out, with the help of Jordan from Ardor, who emailed me back a couple times very timely and helpful. Also I’ve been really pleased with how the AI is adjusting to my fitness level, and is prescribing workouts and goals that are spot on. I like that you can also stack more than one workout in a day. For example you can do a metcon, and then separately tack on a short (or longer) strength workout. So far I’m really happy with this app, and intend to subscribe beyond the free trial.
