We offer a BATTLE TESTED program
The Competitors’ Program (TCP) is a battle tested strength program based on my near 20 years of experience and nearly 40k hours training with fighters, inside training camps and amongst competitive people like you.
We boiled down the training into a few important factors. These factors stand out because of Coach Johann’s experience as a competitor, a coach and experienced student.
Here’s THREE REASONS WHY THIS IS DIFFERENT training, and will last you a lifetime. We’re based on:
- Periodization
- Continuous “Flows” and time under tension
- “BASE” Training
Strength ratios and heart rate standards Get you stronger
These are real competitors, like you , who I trained over the years with this program!
Folks who have goals to get measurably stronger,
Goals to achieve, goals to work harder than most.
Join Us for over 5+ sessions per week!

Enough with Guesswork!
I CREATED THIS PROGRAM BASED ON MY RECENT CAMP WITH BOXERS MARK SALGADO AND CHRIS WASHINGTON OF CALIFORNIA BUT HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING IT FOR A DECADE, AS A SKELETON FOR THE IDEAL STRENGTH & CONDITIONING PROGRAM FOR ANYONE WITH HIGH GOALS.

I (trained with) Johann for almost three years. He (has) brought me to a level of strength and fitness I didn’t think possible in my 30’s. I started out as ‘skinny-fat’, with about 35 lbs of extra weight, and very little muscle underneath. Over time, I have lost the fat and added in 5-7lbs of muscle (the guy in the blue shirt doing a roundhouse in the photos is me) . My confidence levels have dramatically increased. Over the three years, we have added in more and more kickboxing, and do it for about 30% of every workout, excluding his Saturday kickboxing class, which is more like 95%. I couldn’t be happier with the training and guidance he has provided me. The high I get from each training day floats me through the workweek.
What I love most about Johann’s take on personal training is that it is so varied! What I find most difficult about working out is how quickly I get bored doing the same exercises. Johann is successful in targeting the same muscle groups doing so many different workouts you never get bored. Each session goes by so quickly and the results were awesome.
