I have worked with Matt for close to 5 years since I was about 16-17 years old at Genesis Sports Performance. Since then I have always been in contact with him for programing my workouts in order to have a competitive advantage in baseball. Since the first meeting I was about 150 pounds throwing 83-85 mph and could lift the bare minimum weight to get by at the time. Over the next year my velocity and my overall strength increased exponentially. I went from 83-85 to 88-91 mph while weighing in at 185 and was able to work my way to getting a division 1 scholarship to Sam Houston State. Even after my first year of college Matt was able to push me beyond my limits over the next few years up till this very day where I am now an MLB prospect while being able to throw 91-94 mph. Matt will push you every day, he knows what is going to make you better in whatever sport you play. He is going to make sure every day you come in that you are feeling 100%. Since working with Matt, I have not had any injuries nor any tweaks of any kind, he will stress the importance of your form to protect you from injury and how you need to recover. If you are looking for someone who is going to push you, make you bigger, faster, stronger, Matt is your guy. I would not be where I am today without him.

I'm a swimmer and a water polo player. I wanted to get faster, stronger, and better at my sports. I could have had a trainer from a brand name gym, but none of them have knowledge of what is needed for the sports or they don’t have the certificates proving their knowledge of training. Matt played water polo for Penn State so he knew what I needed, the added benefit is that he also coaches my club team, North Houston Storm, and he is also a clinician for my high school swim team and water polo team. When I first started working out with him, my deadlift improved from 225 to 425, my bench press from 145 to 225 and my squat from 185 to 325 in the first 6 months. Coach Johnson helped me compete at the Junior Olympics twice since I started from not knowing a single rule in the game. Coach Johnson cares about his athletes, so he takes every precaution to ensure we are always safe and in shape. Matt also has an incredible ability to motivate his players/athletes. It is a real privilege to be coached by Matthew Johnson and I highly recommend him for any type of workout.
