Optimizing Results Through Dedicated Time Commitment

At OAT, we believe in progress over perfection. Consistency is the cornerstone of seeing meaningful and sustainable results. While our lives are often packed and unpredictable, committing to your training routine 4-5 days a week is crucial for remarkable progress.

Estimated Daily Time Requirements for Each Phase:

• Assessment Phase (~45 minutes daily): In this initial phase, dedicating at least 60 minutes daily is crucial for a thorough evaluation and setting the foundation for your custom training plan.

• Stabilization Phase (~60 minutes daily): As you embark on this phase, expect to spend over 60 minutes each day focusing on improving balance and core stability, an essential groundwork for more advanced training.

• Strength Endurance Phase (60+ minutes daily): This phase sees a continuation of the 60+ minutes commitment, concentrating on building enduring strength for more challenging activities.

• Power Phase (60+ minutes daily): Here, you’ll push beyond the 60-minute mark to maximize power and agility. This intensive phase demands a deeper dedication to reap the full benefits of high-intensity, power-centric workouts.

Field Time: Embracing Outdoor Training Hours

For athletes focusing on big mountain endeavors and endurance sports, it’s crucial to understand the significant commitment to field time. Initially, this may involve dedicating 2-4 hours each weekend to sport-specific training. However, as you progress and edge closer to your objective, this commitment will gradually increase. Expect to extend your outdoor training to between 6-10 hours, ensuring you are thoroughly prepared for the challenges ahead. This increase in field time is vital for building the endurance, skill, and mental fortitude required for high-level mountain and endurance activities. It’s not just about training your body, but also acclimatizing it to the demands and duration of your chosen adventure.

Tailoring Training to Fit Your Life:

We recognize that daily commitments vary, and our program is designed to adapt to your individual needs. While aiming for at least 60 minutes per day is ideal, we understand that some days may be busier than others. It’s important to maintain overall consistency, even if you occasionally can’t commit the full recommended time. Doing what you can is always better than doing nothing. Remember, consistent effort, no matter how small, cumulatively leads to significant strides towards your goals.

We’re here to create a program that fits into your life, not the other way around. Stay committed, embrace flexibility, and experience the transformation into a stronger, more skilled version of yourself. Every minute invested in your training is a step closer to your peak potential.
