Yes, but interdependence in purpose is not the same as causality. 

Training and thinning can be interdependent purposes of the same process, but each is an individually considered complementary purpose with equal weight and intention. However, the process could be using training to cause the thinning — in which case, the purpose of thinning integrates the purpose of training and the training is directly and intentionally causal to the thinning.

Military training is done both for the purpose of physical conditioning and to develop relevant battlefield skills — those two purposes are interdependent, however they are not causal to one another, which is why different parts of the training focus on skills and conditioning individually. Crossfit is a training program for physical fitness; it was designed as a workout process for fitness (but not for skills training).

So, we have two cases:
1. the training and fitness are independent goals from the same process
2. the training supports (causes) the fitness from the process.

In English we can easily differentiate: “I have a process for training and for fitness conditioning” versus “I have a process for training for fitness conditioning.”
