Hybrid strength and conditioning, programmed by 5x CrossFit Games medalist Pat Vellner. One theme per day, trained together by the whole community.
Olympic lifting. Snatch, clean & jerk, or both, plus a squat.
A metcon under 20 minutes. Redline.
Bodybuilding. Pump work, rotated around what the week needs.
Aerobic base. 45 minutes to 2 hours, low intensity.
Strict skill and bodyweight strength.
A long metcon, 25 to 45 minutes. Sustained hard.
Extra if you want it: zone 2, pump, skill, or core.
Every day has one job. Monday is a lifting day, so everything on it serves the lift.
30 minutes or 2 hours. The main workout is the same; longer days add work around it.
Four-week cycles with a test week, so there's always a number to beat.
Each workout is written once with a clear intent. ARDOR rebuilds it for you on the day. When you log a result, your profile moves toward what you actually did.

A coach, an athlete, or you write the workout once: the format (for time, AMRAP, EMOM, intervals, or strength), movements, reps and rounds, intensity, and notes. Then it's published to the program.
On the day, ARDOR rebuilds it from your profile: estimated maxes, one-minute capacity (what you can do fresh in one minute), pace fade, bodyweight, and the equipment in your gym.
Train against your own personal goal: a predicted finish time, rounds, or distance. Use the live tracker or log it afterwards, and record what you actually did: weights, reps, time, and rounds.
Your result is compared with ARDOR's prediction: how far you beat it or missed it, as a percentage. Leaderboards rank everyone by that percentage against their own prediction, not by raw time.
Your estimated maxes, one-minute capacity, pace fade, and level scores move toward what you actually did. After a miss, your next target eases a little more than it rises after a win. Your next workout is built from there, and the original never changes.
Each month a partner athlete sits down with Pat Vellner and designs one workout around a single intent. Then the whole community does it, each version adapted to the person doing it.
Dallin trains with intent. This month he built a workout for the ARDOR community and explained the reasoning behind every rep, load, and pace target.

At a big tech company, Jordan led a machine learning team that predicted build times and which tests would fail next. He applied the same idea to training: compare past performances to predict what you can do next, so every workout gives you a personal challenge to aim for.

Ask us something elseARDOR is a training app built on workouts by intent.

ARDOR then rebuilds it around your time, equipment, ability, and readiness, so you hit that intent every session.
