About
Global Evolution Training (GET) is for youth and adults, athletes and non-athletes. I played 13 years of pro soccer in the English Premier League, MLS, Sweden, and Croatia. I hold NASM, Functional Range Conditioning, Functional Range Assessment, Kettlebell, and TRX certifications. I also have a master’s in philosophy from Stanford University, which keeps my approach clear, logical, and grounded in how bodies adapt over time.
I coach strength, conditioning, mobility, and joint health. If you play soccer, I add position work, technical work, decision making, and game IQ. If you are a general client, we focus on pain-free movement, practical strength, and habits that stick. Any can be added on that base of mobility and strength such as power, speed, endurance, and explosiveness.
FRC is a core tool. We build usable range, not just loose flexibility, and then load it so joints get stronger at end ranges. CARs, PAILs, and RAILs become simple daily work. The result is fewer aches, cleaner mechanics, faster cuts and sprints, and knees, hips, shoulders, and spine that hold up under stress.
Sessions stay simple and measurable. I assess, make a plan, give clear cues, and track progress. Field or gym. One on one or small groups. In person or remote.
You get a coach who blends elite playing experience with evidence-based training and straight talk. The goal is the same for everyone: move better, get stronger, stay healthy, and perform.

Johann is a very knowledgeable and personable trainer with a uniquely effective approach. Having spent years as a professional soccer player you know his understanding of body mechanics is elite. And as a recent Stanford grad, his ability to process information and design effective programs specifically tailored to client needs is also second to none. I learned a tremendous amount in my sessions with him, and my physique and understanding of my own physicality has grown leaps and bounds under his tutelage. He also had the ability to push me to levels of performance I never could have attained on my own, while simultaneously making the process fun and enjoyable. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Johann is an exceptional fitness trainer who knows how to create a comfortable and welcoming environment for all his clients, regardless of their experience level. As someone who was initially inexperienced, I felt quite intimidated and embarrassed when starting my workout journey. However, Johann quickly dissolved those feelings with his calm demeanor and expert guidance.
He took the time to understand my concerns, gradually introduced me to new exercises, and ensured I was always performing them correctly and safely. His approach made me feel more confident in each session, and I started looking forward to our workouts. Johann’s ability to make each workout challenging yet accessible allowed me to grow in both strength and knowledge. His passion for fitness is evident, and he brings out the best in his clients.
I highly recommend Johann to anyone seeking not just a trainer, but a true fitness partner who is committed to helping you succeed at your own pace.

Great sessions every time. Tailored to what you want to improve. Sessions are going to be tough but the improvements are going to reflect in your games. Definitely recommend.
