Meet The Coach
Anthony Catenacci
Heavily influenced by Charles Poliquin, Paul Chek, Ido Portal, Zach Even Esh, and Louie Simmons, among many others, Anthony has developed his own unique blend of training programming.
He prides himself on building out structured training routines which are sure to bring steady progression from his clients.
Training Is A Discipline, Not A Brand
905 Athletics was founded on one core idea — real performance and resilience aren’t built by trends, they’re built by structure and thoughtful progression.
Quick fixes, viral programs, and hype don’t create strength that lasts. Real progress comes from work that compounds over time, guided by clear standards and coaching that adapts with you.
​
This belief isn’t marketing but the reason 905 Athletics exists.
How I View Training
I’ve been passionate about fitness and athletics since childhood, growing up playing competitive sports and naturally gravitating to the weight room.
Over the years, that passion evolved into a system-driven approach to training, rooted in:
-
Progressive strength development
-
Movement quality and mobility
-
Longevity and resilience
-
Purposeful programming over arbitrary workouts
​
Fitness isn’t a means to an end, a quick fix, or a trend. Rather, fitness is a tool for life.
Coaching Is A Responsibility
Guidance at 905 is active, thoughtful, and ongoing.
Whether in group class or in a higher-touch coaching environment, my philosophy is simple:
-
You should understand what you’re doing
-
You should improve from session to session
-
And you should feel confident in your progress
​
People deserve coaching that meets them where they are, pushes them where they want to go, and protects them from training that compromises longevity for momentary intensity.
This is why we coach the way we do. Attentive, thorough, and assuring clarity.
Why Structure Matters
Most fitness environments chase intensity and variation because it looks exciting.
​
But training isn’t about excitement.
​
It’s about direction. Seasons, standards, and progression give training its meaning.
They provide context — a why — for every session, every decision, and every phase of your training year.
​
A structured approach yields results because it teaches:
-
What to do
-
When to do it
-
How to progress without overreaching
Intentional by Nature
We’re not interested in numbers without context or noise for the sake of energy.
Training at 905 is built around a few simple priorities:
​
-
Showing up consistently
-
Putting effort into work that has a purpose
-
Coaching that accounts for the individual, even in a group setting
-
Progress that supports the body instead of breaking it down
​
This isn’t training for attention or optics.
It’s training designed to last and support throughout sport, daily life, and over the long term.
Coaching Beyond The Gym
My goal is for you to leave each session with:
​
-
A clearer understanding of your abilities
-
A refinement of your movement quality
-
An ownership of your training process
-
And a long-term trajectory that makes sense beyond the short term
​
Training shouldn't exist in isolation. It should feature as part of a life well lived.
Who I Work Best With
Members at 905 Athletics tend to be people who:
-
