German term or phrase: auf den Punkt bringen (in this context)
Fitness programme:

"Es ist ein ganzheitliches Programm, das viele Enflüsse aus anderen Trainingsformen mit unseren gemeinsamen Erkenntnisse vereint und ***auf den Punkt bringt***."

something with the idea of "condensing" but I'm not sure if that sounds right in this context.
Grateful for any help.
