Training Built to Hold Up Over Time
A structured approach to strength, movement, and conditioning designed to support progress now and longevity later.
We don’t chase intensity.
We build capacity.
Training Is a Long-Term Process
At 905 Athletics, we believe training should support your body, not constantly test its limits. Strength, conditioning, and performance are built through consistency, intelligent progression, and respect for recovery.
Random workouts and constant intensity may feel productive in the moment, but they rarely lead to sustainable progress.
Our approach is different. We train with intention, knowing that meaningful results come from work that compounds over time.
The goal is progress, not punishment.
Why We Train in Seasons
The human body adapts best when training has a clear focus. That’s why our year is organized into training seasons, each designed to emphasize specific qualities while supporting the bigger picture.
Rather than training everything all the time, we cycle emphasis across the year.
This allows us to:
-
Build strength without stagnation
-
Develop conditioning without interference
-
Improve movement quality without overload
-
Reduce burnout and unnecessary wear
Each season informs the next. Nothing exists in isolation.
Accumulation phases focused on volume, technique, and work capacity
Intensification phases emphasizing strength and force production
Structural and recovery-focused training supporting joints, mobility, and tissue health
Optional conditioning is offered twice weekly and emphasized only when appropriate to the phase.
Every Season/Programming Cycle Includes:
Strength Is the Base Layer
Strength underpins everything. It supports joint health, movement efficiency, speed, athletic performance, and long-term independence.
Our strength training prioritizes:
-
Fundamental movement patterns
-
Progressive loading over time
-
Technical consistency and control
-
Joint-friendly ranges and tempos
We are not interested in maxing out at all costs. We are interested in building strength that lasts — strength you can use, recover from, and carry forward year after year.
Move Well
Before You Move More
Quality movement is not optional. It’s foundational.
Mobility, stability, and coordination are trained alongside strength, not treated as warm-ups or afterthoughts. When movement quality improves, performance improves — and injury risk decreases.
Our training emphasizes:
-
Joint integrity and range of motion
-
Controlled, repeatable movement patterns
-
Symmetry and balance across the body
-
Awareness under load
Good movement allows hard work to actually work.
Conditioning That Supports Strength
Conditioning should enhance your training, not sabotage it.
We use a blend of aerobic development, capacity work, and higher-intensity efforts — all dosed appropriately within the current training phase.
Conditioning changes across the year because your body’s priorities change.
This allows us to:
-
Improve work capacity without excessive fatigue
-
Support recovery between strength sessions
-
Build resilience without chronic stress
Conditioning is used to build capacity without unnecessary fatigue.
Progression Requires Reference Points
Progress doesn’t happen by accident. It requires standards.
At 905 Athletics, we use foundational performance and lifestyle standards to guide training decisions. These benchmarks help ensure that effort stays aligned with results, and that progression happens safely and consistently.
Standards are not rules or restrictions.
They are reference points and guardrails that keep training productive and sustainable.
Guidance Built In
Group training at 905 follows a common structure while accounting for individual needs. Scaling and adjustments are used to preserve the intent of the work.
Coaching is active throughout the session, guiding execution and progression so training evolves alongside the athlete.
Who Is This Training For?
This system works best for people who:
-
Value structure and progression
-
Want to train hard without sacrificing longevity
-
Appreciate coaching and feedback
-
Are tired of restarting after injury or burnout
If you want training that makes sense next month and next year, this approach is for you.
