Who it's for

You start where you are.

There is no «not fit enough», no «too old», no «too untrained». Everyone starts with the basic movements and goes their own way – at their own pace, in the same group.

Beginners

You're starting out.

Never trained systematically? This is exactly what the training is built for. You learn the basic movements properly and build resilience step by step.

Your weights are calculated for you – all you do is train.
Returning

You're coming back.

Trained before, paused for years? The patterns are still there. You move through the first levels faster, and where strength was lost, you rebuild it in an orderly way.

No comparing with your old self – a starting point, and it gets better.
Weight & health

You want to get your weight under control.

Muscle is your best ally: it burns energy, even at rest. Strength and endurance in fixed weekly slots give you the consistency that most weight-loss attempts lack.

Not a diet programme – training that sticks.
Active Aging

You want to age strong.

From midlife on, the body loses muscle and bone density – unless you train against it. Strength, balance and endurance decide how independent your next decades will be.

Strength is the best retirement plan – and you can start at any age.
Martial arts

You train at Fight Academy.

Stronger, faster, fewer injuries: athletic training is the strength base for Sanda and the fight team – no more side programme needed.

Same address, same people, same club.
Other sports

You want the foundation for your sport.

Football, tennis, running, cycling, climbing: the first levels reveal where your sport is one-sided. Then you get stronger and more robust where it counts.

Strength that counts in sport and everyday life.
What we do

Training, not fitness.

A gym gives you machines and a door pass. We give you a goal: being ready – for your sport, for everyday life, for the next decade. Athletic training builds the strength, mobility and endurance your body actually needs. Not better looks – better ability.

Why no machines?

A machine guides the weight for you and trains one muscle – seated, guided, isolated. Life works differently: you lift boxes, carry groceries, climb stairs, catch yourself. Squatting, hinging, pushing and pulling train exactly these patterns – along with balance, trunk and the whole-body coordination no machine can take over. Strength built sitting at a machine stays at the machine. Strength from the basic movements comes with you – into your sport, your everyday life, and the decades in which it decides your independence.

The system

How your training works – explained in one minute.

Behind every session stands a system we have developed over years. You don't need to understand it to use it – but it helps to know why it works.

Levels

Move first, load later.

Six levels: in the first three you learn the movements properly, in the next three weight is added. Every level is solid before the next begins – no skipping, no shortcuts.

Four patterns

Every session is complete.

Squat, hinge, push, pull – all four in every session, plus trunk and endurance. No leg day or chest day: a whole body, every time.

Calculated

Your weight is already set.

From body weight, age and level, the system calculates your weight for every exercise – down to the plate. You check your phone, load the bar and train.

Safe

Prevention is built in.

Both sides are trained individually – the weaker one catches up automatically. Calves, hips, shoulders, grip: the small muscles run along in the rest periods, without you having to think about it.

Measurable

Two milestones, one position.

Move Well shows you move properly. Live Strong shows you are strong enough for sport and life. Both voluntary, both honest – your position, not a verdict. And every session lands in the app: you see your progress in black and white, any time.

For you

Group outside, individual inside.

Everyone trains the same session, but each person at their level and with their weight. A 16-year-old can stand next to a 60-year-old – and both are doing exactly the right thing.

The system is called ATHLETICON. It was developed by Zeno Streich, head of the Athletic Academy – built for the group, not the lab.

Our programs

Two paths, one system.

Without prior experience you start in the coached class; with experience, after an introduction, in the OpenClass. Both run in fixed weekly slots, and every session is prepared: your weights are calculated, your level is clear, your next step too. The only difference is who leads the session.

No prior experience

Coached class

Group training, individually steered: everyone trains the same session, each person at their level and with their weight. The coach is on the floor, corrects technique and decides with you when you move up a level.

  • Your fixed weekly slot – same time, same group, same coaches.
  • 60–90 minutes – strength and endurance in one session, scaled to your time budget.
  • Free weights and your own body – squat, hinge, push, pull. No machines.
  • As many slots as fit your life – you plan your frequency with the coach when you start. All in the same fee.
With experience

OpenClass

The same fixed training time, the same group – but here you run the training yourselves, together, each at your own level. The app supports you: QR check-in, your weights on your phone, your session step by step. Already know the squat, deadlift and press? Then an introduction session takes you into the system, and from then on you train in your OpenClass slot – with the coach behind you, never left on your own.

  • Introduction session – with a coach: technique check, your starting level, the app.
  • Your fixed weekly slot – like the coached class: same time, same people, every week.
  • Supported, not surveilled – the coach follows your sessions in the app, and at least once a month he joins your slot. OpenClass means open, not unsupervised.
  • Train safely – spotter arms are mandatory here. Every heavy set is secured, even without a partner.
  • The same system – same levels, same milestones, same progress in the app.
  • For class members too – coming from the coached class, you are usually cleared when you move to level 2. The coach decides with you.
Plus, for everyone

Endurance slots

Alongside class and OpenClass you can book pure endurance sessions as a fixed slot – from day one, after a short introduction. You start with steady base endurance; intervals come as your training progresses. Self-run with app support, parallel to the classes – and included in the same fee.

Coaching

A coach is always there.

Both formats run in fixed weekly slots with a fixed group. The only difference: who leads the session – the coach, or you yourself with the app.

In the coached classThe coach leads the session: warm-up, technique, tempo. He corrects, spots at the bar and decides with you when you move up a level.
In the OpenClassYou run the training together yourselves, the app supports you. The coach drops in regularly – at least once a month he joins every slot – and follows every session in the app. Spotter arms are mandatory: every heavy set is secured.
Between sessionsYour progress runs in the app. The coach sees every session, adjusts when something is off, and gets in touch when a technique check or a new level is due. Ask questions whenever you like.

Small group (3–6 people) and personal training (1:1) are available on request – more coaching time, the same system. Ask us at your trial session.

How it works

Step by step, at your pace.

Two entries, one goal. You move up a level when your body is ready – not when the calendar says so. No skipping, no shortcuts – but visible progress.

Trial session

Come by and train one session with us – free and with no strings attached. You see the training space, the group, the system. And together we see where you stand: that decides your path.

No prior experience

2
Your fixed slot

You choose your frequency and preferred time. From then on you have your place in the group – reliably, every week.

3
Move, then load

First you learn the basic movements properly, then weight is added. Every level is solid before the next begins.

4
Clearance for the OpenClass

Usually when you move to level 2: the coach clears you, and your slot becomes an OpenClass slot – if that's what you want.

With experience

Introduction → OpenClass

2
Introduction session

With a coach: technique check at the bar, your starting level in the system, check-in and app.

3
Your fixed OpenClass slot

You train in your fixed weekly slot – your session is prepared, your weights calculated, the spotter arms are set.

4
The coach stays on it

At least once a month a coach trains along in your slot; in between he sees every session in the app and gets in touch when a technique check or a new level is due.

Milestones – and then your goal

Move Well and Live Strong show on both paths what you are ready for – voluntary, never an exam. And after Live Strong it doesn't end, it begins: you specialise your training in what you want – more performance for your sport, stronger, more enduring or more robust. Your coach plans the right module with you.

Schedule

Your time, your slot.

We set the fixed training slots around you: every sign-up tells us when they want to train – that's where the slots come from. And every person gets their fixed place.

  • Monday – Friday09:00 – 21:00
  • Saturday09:00 – 12:00
  • Sundayno training

Possible windows for the fixed slots – coached and OpenClass. The current slots sit within these windows; we open new ones as soon as there is demand – tell us your preferred time.

Why fixed slots? Because progress needs consistency – and because a fixed group is where «together» actually happens: the same people, the same coaches, every week.

Missed it? Switch.If you can't make your slot one week, you can switch to another in the same week – if there's space.
OpenClass? Same principle.OpenClass also runs in fixed weekly slots – same time, same group. It's just the app leading the session instead of the coach.
Demand decides.If a window is in demand, we open a slot there. If a slot is full, we open the next one.
Parents' slot.Train while your child is on the mats: if there's demand, we schedule a slot parallel to the kids' training.

Why Athletic Academy

A club, not a gym.

Individually tailored training with clear progress used to exist only in expensive 1:1 coaching. We bring it to the group – at a club fee, among people you know.

Together

At the barbell, everyone is equal.

You train in a fixed group with people you know – just like on the mats. Nobody trains against anyone; everyone gets better together.

For everyone

Develop, don't select.

There is no «too weak», no «too old». Everyone starts where they are and goes their own way. From 15 to 80+ – the training adapts, not you.

Our coaches

People you know.

You train with people who have been developing athletes for years – from the minis to the fight team. And with the person who built the system behind it.
