VOR for Boutique Studios:
Benefits for
Boutique Studios
In the past, smaller, more specialised studios might have been forgiven for being hesitant to embrace automation. But now, they’d be missing out on the performance and scalability benefits it can have. Rather than a generic AI with a one-size-fits-all approach, VOR can be customised to every detail of your business, including training styles, equipment, workout length, etc. Meaning that enhanced efficiency doesn't mean losing what makes your studio unique.
By automating and standardising the workouts fitness studios can provide, VOR empowers their staff to get on with the most important parts of the job and create a studio culture in which members can thrive. After all, that’s what really drives the connection between a studio and its members, and keeps them coming back.
Making sure you’re getting the most out of your space and equipment is crucial – especially when you’re a smaller, more specialised studio with less to work with. The data behind VOR isn’t just useful for automaking effective workouts, it can also drive recommendations on how to set up your space for optimum performance.
Top features
Full customisation to your business
We’ve spent years iterating and refining our adaptive AI for gyms to make sure it can be tailored to your existing setup and needs. Any business we work with will have their own unique version of our tech, seamlessly enhancing customer and trainer experience.
We learn your training style, available floor space and equipment, and takes apply these factors to your VOR Engine when creating workout plans. On the member side, all the details that can have an impact on training and performance – from individual goals, to lifestyles, to injury considerations – can also be updated and tweaked for maximum effectiveness. Whatever your business aims and setup, there are no barriers to working with VOR.
Seamless tech stack integration
With VOR, you don’t have to adopt an entirely new tech stack or buy any expensive new hardware to use it. We just want to make the automation process work for you as simply as possible, so our AI engine is designed to slot straight into your existing tech setup with no disruption to your business.
If you don’t have an existing tech stack, we can also provide our AI as a standalone tech product for you to use straight away. Either way, you won’t have to cover any hidden costs for new hardware or spend time building and learning how to use complicated and pointless new tools.
Augmented trainer capability
By automating the repetitive parts of their job, VOR enhances what every personal trainer is capable of. With the help of our AI workout generator, they can run higher-quality and more consistent workout plans. And with roots in exercise science best practices, plus specialised parameters for injuries, targets, training environments and backgrounds, VOR allows trainers to operate with a new level of detail.
Add in the capacity to optimise the layout of your gym and the use of equipment, VOR means that trainers are well equipped to help every member smash their fitness goals.

FAQs
We know that personal trainers add huge value to gyms and the fitness industry, and many of their skills can't be replaced by technology.
Vor automates the workout creation portion of a trainer's role. It can be used by personal trainers in planning workout programmes and classes. Alternatively, Vor can be used directly by exercisers with varying degrees of trainer supervision, customisation and control.
No. When it comes to your tech stack, Vor can integrate with your internal or external applications via API.
For example, Vor workouts can be delivered via an existing member app directly to exercisers. Or, Vor can be made available via an existing trainer portal to assist teams with workout programming.
If you don't have a tech stack in place, Vor can be accessed by a simple web application from any device.
From a gym equipment perspective, Vor creates workouts customised to your available equipment and gym floor layout. You don't need to invest in any new gym equipment to embed Vor into your operations.
Vor has been intentionally designed by our experienced team of AI experts and personal trainers every step of the way. Rooted in exercise science best practices, it uses parameters for injuries, targets, training environments and backgrounds to make sure that workouts are safe, appropriate and effective for exercisers.
There is no erroneous data or guesswork within the Vor engine - every workout generated is reliable, explainable and traceable.
Our automation engine is not a plugin to a Large Language Model (LLM) like ChatGPT, which often provides unreliable and unpredictable results that might look good enough to the untrained eye, but aren’t safe or appropriate for exercisers.
We have been pioneering our unique technology since 2021 and it is engineered specifically for physical exercise. LLMs, on the other hand, are generalist devices designed to mimic human language, rather than find the right answer. This is potentially injurious in fitness, when the wrong answer, delivered confidently to the end user, could easily lead to injury.
The Vor Engine has consistently and significantly outperformed LLMs (and specifically ChatGPT) in workout creation from both a quality and safety standpoint since we launched our first full working version for testing in 2023.
Today, our tech benchmarks at 100-200 X faster workout generation for personal trainers when compared with writing personalised workout programmes manually. This is a hugely significant time and cost saving for your bottom-line.
