About us
Founded in 2021 by former athlete and trainer Max Cotton, Vor began as an online training app pioneering scalable workout programmes.

With AI expert Jesse Shanahan as CTO and investment from PureGym founder Peter Roberts, Vor pivoted to B2B in 2023 and launched its revolutionary AI platform in 2024.

Vor is the world’s most powerful workout generation tool, transforming how fitness businesses deliver personalised training. Powered by an advanced AI engine inspired by astrophysics, Vor instantly creates safe, effective, and highly varied workout programmes.

Unlike generic large language models, Vor’s engine is built and governed by qualified trainers, ensuring results are reliable, science-backed, and traceable.

Vor seamlessly embeds each business’s unique training style, equipment, and facility layout - automating exercise programming while maintaining brand integrity.

Whether used by trainers or deployed directly to members, Vor supports business growth and retention with consistently high-quality, tailored programming.

Product range and services
Fitness businesses can use Vor in two ways: Vor for Trainers and Vor for Members.

Vor for Trainers gives professionals the power to create detailed, personalised programmes in seconds. Ideal for both one-to-one and group sessions, it frees trainers to focus on coaching and client relationships - boosting capacity without sacrificing quality or personalisation.

Vor for Members delivers personalised workouts directly to exercisers via seamless API integration. Built-in trainer governance ensures every plan is safe and effective, considering user goals, health data, injuries, and preferences. This enables businesses to offer personalised training at scale, with no compromise on quality.

Each business gets its own tailored version of Vor, aligned to:

■ Training approach and exercise selection
■ Gym layouts and available equipment
■ Team language and coaching cues
■ Safety protocols and exercise adaptations.

Every workout reflects your brand’s DNA - whether created by trainers or delivered to members.
