CrossFit Training

Strength. Engine. Skill.
Programmed together.

Affiliate programming serves the class. Yours should serve you, your weaknesses, your competition calendar, the strength numbers you are chasing. Pelaris builds CrossFit programs that match the athlete you want to be.

The four pillars

Every CrossFit program, balanced

The failure mode of affiliate programming is accidental bias, a week of skill-heavy sessions, then a week of pure metcons, then a deload that breaks nothing. Pelaris keeps the four pillars balanced week-on-week.

Strength foundation

Heavy singles, 3-rep maxes, technique work on the Olympic lifts. CrossFit rewards a big base. Pelaris builds strength on dedicated days, not buried inside a metcon, so progress is measurable and recoverable.

Engine capacity

Row, bike, run, ski, aerobic and glycolytic systems both matter. Pelaris programs interval work across all four modes with progressive load and clear purpose: threshold, repeat 1-min, sprint recovery.

Metabolic conditioning

The classic metcons. Pelaris builds them with intent, skill practice at pace, sustained pace pieces, and a small number of grinders. The balance between "test" and "build" that most affiliates get wrong.

Skill practice

Double-unders, muscle-ups, handstand walks, bar muscle-ups, ring skills. Pelaris front-loads skill work when you are fresh and schedules enough repetition for neural patterns to stick.

Pelaris workout log with CrossFit-style session tracking, strength sets, AMRAP round counts, and PR callouts

Track every format

Log the workout the way it was written

Strength sets at a prescribed percentage. AMRAP round + rep splits. EMOM completion check-ins. For Time with splits per round. Pelaris tracks them natively, no retro-fitting your workout into a generic tracker.

PR detection fires automatically on weight and rep-count records. Every set feeds back into the program so your next front squat day calibrates to the load you actually moved, not the one prescribed three weeks ago.

Athlete profiles

Built for the athlete you already are

Competitor

Training 6 days a week. Two-a-days in-season. Programmed around upcoming events (Open, Quarterfinals, Semis). Skill-weighted with olympic lifting specificity.

Enthusiast

4-5 days a week, wants to be strong, conditioned, and skilled but has a life outside the gym. Balanced program with protected recovery. No accumulation phases that break you for deload weeks.

Returning lifter

Strength background, wants the conditioning that CrossFit gives without losing the numbers. Pelaris weights the strength block while building the engine from a low-load base.

Hybrid athlete

Also running, also lifting, also playing a sport. Pelaris coordinates all of it, CrossFit sessions become one pillar in a larger program, not the whole program.

Questions

CrossFit training, answered

Is Pelaris a CrossFit programming app? +
Pelaris generates programs that include CrossFit-style training when it fits your goals. It is not an affiliate programming feed, no daily WOD you have to accept. If you want a CrossFit-weighted program for a competition, Pelaris builds it. If you want strength-weighted with two conditioning days a week, Pelaris builds that instead. You describe the shape of athlete you want to be; the program follows.
How does Pelaris avoid overtraining? +
Every session logs RPE, soreness, and readiness. The JIT scheduler reads those signals and adjusts the next session, if fatigue is high, the next heavy squat day shifts back, the surrounding volume drops, recovery sessions appear. Most apps ignore the week you are in. Pelaris reacts to it.
Can I track CrossFit-style workouts (AMRAP, EMOM, For Time)? +
Yes. The tracker handles every CrossFit format, AMRAP with round / rep count, EMOM with per-minute check-ins, For Time with round-split timing, chippers, ladders, complex pieces. Each logged workout feeds back into your program so the next similar session calibrates to your actual pace.
I do CrossFit but want to train for a half-marathon, can Pelaris handle that? +
Yes. This is the classic "hybrid" problem, runners warn you off lifting, lifters warn you off running, neither knows how they co-exist. Pelaris programs them together. The strength block stays in, running volume is added progressively, and the two are scheduled so they do not interfere. You can have the engine and keep the numbers.
How does Pelaris handle Open / Quarterfinals prep? +
If you register a competition date, Pelaris structures the surrounding weeks around it: a build block leading in, a sharpening week just before, active recovery the day of. The program knows to reduce novel stimulus in the 10 days before, no new max attempts, no unusually high-impact conditioning, and to maintain sharpness in the skills that historically tripped you up.
Is it compatible with my box programming? +
You can run Pelaris alongside your box, the app understands when you have a scheduled class and will generate a complementary program that fills the gaps (additional strength, accessory work, aerobic base) rather than duplicating. Or you can use Pelaris as the primary program with your box sessions flagged as "sport session" for the methodology to reason about.

Stop guessing. Start training with intent.
