Ardor Fitness

What is Ardor Fitness?

Ardor Fitness is an AI-powered personal training tool that builds daily workouts around your schedule, equipment, interests, abilities, and goals. It predicts what you’ll be capable of in each session, then adjusts the next workout based on your performance and energy levels. Progress is tracked over time, and evolving daily challenges let you compete with yourself. The team’s goal is to make fitness accessible and enjoyable through machine learning combined with expert input.

Who created Ardor Fitness?

The tool was created by Patrick Vellner, Jordan Lund, and Keith Riel. Vellner is a five-time CrossFit Games podium finisher with a background in training, academics, and chiropractic care. Lund applied machine learning expertise to personal training, and Riel brought more than 30 years of fitness industry experience. Programs are designed using methods drawn from a range of personal training and specialty certifications.
