ARDOR is a personalized training platform for functional fitness. Every workout is designed by a coach and adapted to you: your equipment, your schedule, your ability, and how you're recovering. One workout. Built around you. THE VELLNER PROGRAM Hybrid strength and conditioning designed with 5x CrossFit Games medalist Pat Vellner. Six days a week, one theme per day: Olympic lifting, sprint conditioning, bodybuilding, engine work, gymnastics, and a weekly grind. Pick your duration — 30 minutes, an hour, or a full session — and ARDOR fits the day to it. ADAPTS TO YOU - Your gym: swap movements for the equipment you actually have - Your time: the same session, sized to the window you've got - Your level: same stimulus for a beginner and a Games athlete, different loads - Your day: readiness and recovery shape what you're asked to do PREDICTS, THEN LEARNS Enter one number — a time, a weight — and ARDOR predicts the rest. Every result you log sharpens the next workout. The program gets more yours every week. TRAIN TOGETHER Relative leaderboards that measure effort, not just output. Share any workout with a friend and ARDOR adapts it to them automatically. Community chat and kudos from people who understand what you just did. MONTHLY ATHLETE CHALLENGES Each month a partner athlete publishes an open workout to the whole community. Open it and it's already scaled to you. Post your result, climb the board, and enter the monthly draw. Entries are always free — no purchase necessary. Availability varies by region; see ardor.fitness/draw-rules.
