Hybrid Rockstar is a structured 12-week training plan for athletes preparing for Hyrox-style fitness racing events. Train like a hybrid athlete: strength, conditioning, and endurance, organized into a progressive 12-week cycle that builds toward race day — or simply gives you a smarter way to train when you want both strength and aerobic capacity in the same week. No template-builder. No menu of options. Pick your tier, and Hybrid Rockstar handles the programming. —— TIERS —— FullRox — Full Hyrox-distance simulation. Sessions roughly 55–60 minutes. Built for athletes preparing for a full Hyrox event. HalfRox — Half-distance variant. Sessions roughly 30 minutes. Built for athletes who want hybrid training in a shorter block, or who are scaling up toward FullRox over time. —— 12-WEEK CYCLE —— Foundation (Weeks 1–3) — Movement quality and base capacity. Build (Weeks 4–6) — Volume and intensity, ramping the engine. Peak (Weeks 7–9) — Heavy loading, race-pace work. Race Prep (Weeks 10–12) — Taper, sharpening, and final readiness. Each block has its own color and progress indicator so you always know where you are in the cycle. —— WHAT HYBRID ROCKSTAR DOES —— • Walks you through every session week by week, no programming decisions to make • One-tap session completion — no clunky logging interface • Achievements as you hit milestones across the cycle • Smart notifications when your next session is coming up • Activity log of every completed session • Optional notes on any session for capturing how it went • Works entirely offline — no account, no login, no cloud sync —— BUILT FOR HYBRID ATHLETES —— Whether you're chasing a Hyrox finish line or just want a structured plan that respects both strength and conditioning, Hybrid Rockstar gives you the programming without the noise. —— CLEAN DESIGN, NO BLOAT —— • iOS-native interface • No ads • No subscription required • No data collection — all training data stays on your device • Built for iPhone —— DISCLAIMERS —— Hybrid Rockstar is an independent training tool.
