AI CrossFit Coach: WODs at Your Level, With Someone Watching Your Mechanics

An AI CrossFit coach solves the three things that are hardest outside the box: knowing what to train today, scaling movements to your real level, and polishing technique that nobody has time to watch in a class of twelve. In NAIARA, that's Aleix, the app's CrossFit expert, and his creed fits in one line: technique, consistency and intensity — in that order. Tell him your level, your days and your goal, and he builds a plan with real progression (adaptation, intensity, deload) plus the complete daily WOD, warm-up to cool-down, as AMRAP, EMOM or For Time. He gives you the Rx and scaled version of every movement, breaks down snatch or muscle-up technique with concrete cues, and won't sell you miracle supplements. If something hurts, he stops cold and refers you to a professional. Every rep counts — but only the ones done right.

The problem: intensity without technique is an injury with a date on it

What hooks people on CrossFit is also its trap: the clock. At 180 bpm with half the WOD to go, squats turn round, kipping goes wild, and your back picks up the bill. At the box, one coach splits attention across ten or fifteen athletes; away from the box — travel days, the garage gym, the months you can't afford the fees — there's nobody. Free internet programming has the same flaw as everywhere else: it's written for an athlete who isn't you, with loads that aren't yours and no one to ask why. The typical outcomes are the plateaued athlete endlessly repeating benchmark WODs, or the chronic shoulder case. The fix isn't training less — it's someone ordering technique, consistency and intensity correctly.

How Aleix trains you

Aleix is that (lovably) obsessive coach who watches your mechanics like a hawk. Real scenes: you write "45 minutes today, a barbell and a box — give me a WOD" and he returns warm-up, main block and cool-down with a clear stimulus. Snatch stuck? Tell him — or describe exactly where you lose the bar — and he gives you the cues, the classic faults and the accessory work to fix it. WOD calls for handstand push-ups you don't have yet? Exact scaling, no drama.

He's also your purchase filter: send a photo of your cushioned running shoes and he'll explain why your heels wobble in the squat, and which flat shoe makes sense for your case. Rope, grips, creatine, whey: only what helps, and he takes no commission.

What Aleix can do

  • Your CrossFit plan: by level, technique, days and goal, with real progression — adaptation, intensity and deload.
  • The daily WOD: warm-up, main block and cool-down, in AMRAP, EMOM or For Time.
  • Technique in detail: from squat to snatch, pull-up to muscle-up — cues, faults and the fine points.
  • Real scaling: Rx and scaled versions of every movement, to train at today's level without posing.
  • Head and competition: pacing, failure management, pre-WOD routine and the road to the Open.
  • Gear without hype: shoes, rope, grips, creatine or whey — only what actually helps.

If your strength base needs a more classic program, Hércules, NAIARA's personal trainer, is the natural complement. For engine work, Laura programs your running and Saúl brings the boxing.

What Aleix won't do

Aleix can't watch you move live, so he doesn't replace your box coach at their own game: real-time visual correction. He's not a doctor or physio either — he won't diagnose that twinge in your shoulder or promise you a sub-5 Fran by December. His pain protocol is non-negotiable: real pain means stop and see a health professional; minor niggles mean reprogramming to unload the area. He also won't push you to go Rx before you're ready — honest scaling is part of his personality — or to buy gear and supplements you don't need. If you want someone to tell you what you want to hear, he's not your coach. If you want someone to make you a better athlete without breaking you, he is.

Frequently asked questions

Can AI program my CrossFit WODs?

Yes. Aleix builds your plan by level, days and goal, and delivers the complete daily WOD as AMRAP, EMOM or For Time, with adaptation, intensity and deload phases.

What does scaling a WOD mean?

Adapting each movement to today's level: lighter loads, assisted versions or substitutions. Aleix always gives both Rx and scaled — no posing.

Is it useful if I already train at a box?

Yes, as a complement: technique your class can't polish, programming for days away, instant answers. Your live coach isn't replaced.

Is CrossFit dangerous for beginners?

No more than other sports if you respect the order: technique, consistency, intensity. That's Aleix's creed. Pain means stop and see a professional.

What supplements do I need?

Fewer than you think. Aleix recommends only what's evidence-backed and sells you nothing. Health questions go to your doctor or dietitian.
