Workout Tracker
Free forever.
Every set, every PR, every session.
Log strength, cardio, and sport sessions in one app. Real-time PR detection, a Last column from your previous session, auto-calculated 1RMs, and a three-timer workout clock. No session cap, no history paywall, no export fee. AI coaching sits beside it when you are ready.
What the tracker does
A workout log built for how athletes actually train
Most workout tracker apps log straight strength sets and call it done. Pelaris logs strength, cardio, and sport sessions in one place, detects PRs in real time with cross-rep dominance rules, and keeps the last session's numbers visible so you know what to chase. Free on every tier, forever.
Every logging format
Strength (weight + reps + RPE), cardio (distance + duration + pace), sport sessions (duration + intensity). AMRAP, EMOM, For Time, supersets, and circuits tracked natively, not retrofitted into a strength schema.
Real-time PR detection
Automatic personal record detection on every completed set. Two PR types: new estimated 1RM (Epley) and best weight at that exact rep count. Warmups excluded. Cross-rep dominance prevents false PRs when a better set earlier in the session already covered the same range.
Last-session column
Every exercise shows last session's weight and reps inline. Swap an exercise mid-session and the Last column carries over for the replacement so progression context is never lost.
A real tracker, not a preview
Log sets inline, see last session's numbers at a glance, flag PRs automatically. Every set feeds the program next to it if you ever turn coaching on.
Feature depth
The capabilities other workout trackers charge for
Pelaris is a free strength training app, a free running tracker, and a concurrent training app in one. If you are searching for a workout tracker that handles the specific things below, every one of them is included on the free tier.
Three-column workout timer
Total session time, current exercise time, and rest timer in a single strip. Rest timer auto-starts per set on single blocks and per round on supersets and circuits. Pause any timer, reset exercise or rest individually, everything persists across app restarts so a dropped connection does not reset your session.
Superset and circuit support
Native block types for supersets and circuits with configurable rounds. Rest fires once per round, not after every exercise inside a block. Each exercise in a superset carries its own history and Last column. Works for back-to-back strength pairs and for circuit-style conditioning alike.
RPE logging and set categories
RPE (rate of perceived exertion) 1-10 captured on every strength set. Sets tagged as working, warmup, drop set, or failure. Warmups are excluded from volume totals and PR detection automatically, so your session data reflects the work you actually want counted.
Mid-session exercise swap
Equipment busy, niggle, not feeling it? Swap the exercise in place. The replacement inherits its own historical Last column and keeps the rest of your session intact. Lock an exercise when you do not want it substituted.
Cardio and sport session logging
Log easy runs, tempo sessions, swim sets, bike intervals, court time, and match play. Distance, duration, and pace fields for endurance; duration, rep count, and intensity 1-10 for sport sessions. The same tracker handles all three so a concurrent training week sits in one app.
Auto 1RM and PR tracking
Estimated 1RM calculated via the Epley formula on every completed strength set. A live list of personal records per rep count (best at 1, best at 3, best at 5, best at 8, and so on). No manual one-rep max tests required, the data writes itself from your working sets.
Duplicate and add-set shortcuts
One tap to duplicate the last set (same type, same prescription). One tap to add a free-form set of any type. No manually re-entering the same numbers across a five-set squat day.
Body analysis and biometrics
Log body weight, body composition, and baseline biometrics alongside your training. The body analysis module tracks asymmetries over time, which matters for overhead athletes and any sport with a dominant side. None of this is paywalled.
Multi-sport in one program
Lifting, running, swimming, cycling, and team sport sessions live in the same weekly view. When the optional AI coaching is active, it schedules across all sports with concurrent training interference rules. When coaching is off, the tracker still holds everything in one log.
Everything above is on the free tier. The only thing behind the paid coaching tier is AI program generation and the adaptive scheduling that writes next week from this week.

The difference
What the other apps are not doing
Tracking is free, forever.
The others have free tiers with caps. Pelaris has no cap on logging, no cap on history, no cap on exports. The tracker is the gateway, not the upsell.
Your data writes the program.
Every set informs the next session. RPE, fatigue, missed reps all feed back into scheduling. How the coach reasons is transparent, not a black box.
Multi-sport aware.
Lifting, running, playing a sport, all in one program. Concurrent training without the guesswork that every other tracker punts on.
