The Pelaris Story
From Enterprise AI to a Training Partner
I spent years building AI systems at enterprise scale. Pelaris is what happened when I pointed that same thinking at fitness coaching.
The Problem
Most fitness apps are trackers pretending to be coaches. They count your reps, log your miles, chart your calories, and call it a day.
They don't adapt when you've had a terrible night's sleep. They don't adjust when your shoulder starts playing up. A triathlete's Tuesday run has nothing in common with a powerlifter's Tuesday squat session, but the app treats them the same way.
The gap between tracking and coaching is massive.
The Insight
After years building AI at enterprise scale - Gartner keynotes, ServiceNow Knowledge presentations, Forbes features - I kept seeing the same pattern.
The adaptive intelligence that deflects 94% of support tickets and cuts incident resolution by a full day is the same kind of intelligence a good coach uses. Read the signals, adjust the plan, keep the athlete moving forward.
The technology existed. Nobody was applying it properly to training.
What Pelaris Actually Does
Pelaris builds periodized training programs across 7 sports - strength, running, swimming, cycling, triathlon, CrossFit, and general fitness - using 28 real training methodologies. 5/3/1, USRPT, Polarised Training, Sweet Spot, and more. Each program adapts based on your actual performance, readiness, and feedback.
Tell the coach your shoulder hurts, it suggests exercise swaps. RPE spikes for three weeks straight, it adjusts intensity. Miss sessions, it recalculates rather than guilt-tripping you. That's what coaching looks like.
Built Solo, Built Right
One person. Designed, architected, and built from scratch. Flutter for cross-platform, Firebase for real-time data, Vertex AI (Gemini) for coaching intelligence, Cloud Functions for server-side generation.
No team, no funding round, no shortcuts.
Privacy-First
Your training data stays yours. Pelaris runs a PII scrubbing pipeline that strips personally identifiable information before any AI processing.
No data selling, no ad targeting. That's not a feature, it's the baseline.
See it for yourself
7 sports. 28 methodologies. Coaching that actually adjusts.
