Track your fitness progress with a session designed to measure strength, conditioning, and hybrid performance every eight weeks. If you train without tracking your progress, it’s easy to feel like you’re working hard without knowing where it’s all leading.

Some sessions feel good. Others feel tough. But without a clear benchmark, it’s hard to understand where you started, how far you’ve come, or whether your training is actually working.

That’s exactly why the CA Combine exists. When you track your fitness progress consistently, training stops being guesswork and starts becoming measurable.

Every eight weeks, on the first Friday of a new season, the same session runs across all Squad Sessions. The format stays the same, the structure doesn’t change, and the environment remains consistent. The only variable is you.

The CA Combine is a structured performance test designed to track your fitness progression over time, giving your training context, clarity, and purpose.

Why Tracking Fitness Progress Matters

Tracking progress is what turns effort into insight.

It’s the same principle behind body scans. Without an initial reading, you have no reference point. Without follow-up data, progress can feel invisible, even when it’s happening.

Training is no different.

When you walk into sessions blind, you’re relying on feel alone. While how training feels matters, it doesn’t tell the full story. Progress can be happening beneath the surface long before it feels ‘easy’.

The Combine gives you tangible markers so you can see:

• Improvements in strength output

• Changes in conditioning and work capacity

• Faster recovery between efforts

• How efficiently your body is adapting to altitude

This is especially important in a hypoxic environment, where adaptation tends to happen faster. Without tracking, those gains can be missed.

What Exactly Is the CA Combine?

The idea of ‘The Combine’ originates from elite sport, most famously the NFL Combine, where athletes are tested across multiple physical qualities under a consistent format.

At CA, we’ve taken that concept and made it personal.

The CA Combine is your own scorecard.
Your own checkpoint.
Your own comparison.

It’s not about being the fastest or strongest in the room. Your only competition is the person you were eight weeks ago.

Track Your Fitness Progress Every 8 Weeks: A True Measure of Total Fitness

The Combine isn’t designed to test one thing in isolation.

Instead, it brings together all major pillars of fitness:

• Metabolic conditioning

• Strength and power

• Hybrid performance under fatigue

There’s a deliberate blend of strength-based movements and conditioning efforts. This allows us to assess not just how strong or fit you are, but how well you can perform when those qualities are combined.

It’s a realistic test of real-world fitness.

Seeing Progress You Might Otherwise Miss

One of the most powerful outcomes of the Combine is recognising progress that may not be obvious in day-to-day training.

Maybe you:

• Row harder without consciously pushing

• Lift heavier with better control

• Recover quicker between efforts

• Finish stronger instead of just surviving

These changes don’t happen by chance. They’re the result of structured programming, progressive overload, and consistent exposure to altitude.

The Combine shines a light on that progress.

Why This Matters Even More at Altitude

Training at 3,500m places greater demands on your cardiovascular system, muscular endurance, and recovery capacity. Adaptation happens quickly, but it’s not always obvious session to session.

The Combine acts as a checkpoint, showing how your body is responding to altitude over time, not just how hard a workout feels on a given day.

It’s proof that the system works.

For Every Level, Every Season

Whether you’re a Freshman stepping into your first season or a long-term All-Star training through multiple cycles, the Combine is for everyone.

It scales to your ability.
It meets you where you’re at.
And it grows with you over time.

No pressure. No comparison. Just honest feedback on your work.

When the Combine Hits, Lean In

This is your chance to take stock.

Back yourself.
Trust the process.
And see what eight weeks of science-backed progression can do.

That’s the CA Combine.
