Working with us.
Our Process
Our technology is designed to seamlessly integrate with your existing setup and requirements - this flexibility is reflected in our hands-on onboarding and development process.
Regular input from your team is crucial to ensure we’re delivering the right product to you. But we also understand that time is precious, and endeavour to keep the process as smooth and efficient as possible. If you use any third party tech, we’re able to work directly with them too.
Here are some steps you can expect to follow when working with us:
Discovery
A member of the Vor team will arrange a schedule of initial meetings over 1-2 weeks to discuss your needs, requirements and priorities for the Vor engine.
Discovery is split into two areas: tech & fitness
Tech discovery: assessing the level of integration required, taking into account your existing tech stack (if applicable), or any more bespoke solutions that are needed. No tech in-house? No problem. We have a range of trusted partners we can work with here to fill any gaps.
Fitness discovery: understanding the DNA of your business, who the customers are, what their needs are, and how the engine can best serve them.
Tailoring
We tailor the Vor engine to your unique business requirements, from customer types to gym floor plans.
Once we have completed and tested the initial round of adjustments to the engine, we’ll generate some workouts for you to check over and feedback. We’ll then iterate based on your feedback and refine your engine even more to your business goals.
At the end of this phase you will have a fully bespoke, one-of-a-kind version of the Vor engine.
Integration
Whilst we tailor the engine to your business, we’ll work concurrently on technology integration, either through API integration with your existing systems or a new tech stack if needed.
Support and updates
Once the Vor engine is tailored, integrated and activated, it’s time to put it to work. Your team will now be able to start generating quality programmes at scale for your customers.
The Vor team will always be on hand to offer support, adjustments, new features and handle requests. You will also benefit from any new general features and enhancements to the engine as they are launched. The Vor engine and all of its data is hosted and managed securely by us, and covered within your monthly subscription costs.
Why use Vor?
Vor’s adaptive AI engine uses principles from astrophysics to solve the challenges of scale, safety and accessibility in the fitness space.
Using a suite of parameters about individual exercisers, such as health metrics, goals and injuries, the engine generates appropriate and highly effective personalised workout plans in seconds.
Vor is built to adapt to your unique training style, equipment, gym floor plan(s) and other critical brand differentiators. No two instances are the same.
You can put the tech in the hands of trainers, or provide workout routines directly to exercisers with varying degrees of trainer supervision.
Unlike Large Language Model (LLMs), which are built to mimic natural human language, Vor’s unique AI engine has governance, oversight and is expertly designed by qualified personal trainers.
There is no erroneous data or guesswork within the Vor engine - every workout generated is reliable and traceable.

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.
