"Coach's programs are exactly what I needed to continue to provide for the life I wanted, where I feel capable of protecting my family if needed and able to get into the wilderness.  They are simple and effective and better than any others I've found."

Matt - Former  CIA Operative

"Since transitioning from SOCOM, it was hard to find a program that supported and easily incorporated into my new life, while still providing the workouts needed for mental and physical health.  Venator programming has helped me become a more functional veteran, father, and provider for my family while adapting to my individual needs."

Phil - Former MARSOC Operator

Working with Matt over the past 10 years, I have to say I’m more than impressed with the amount of knowledge he has and continues to gain when it comes to health, fitness, and programming. Matt does an incredible job of not only creating fluid workouts, he creates a seamless and effective day by day approach for you to meet your goals. 


There’s one thing lacking in the world of Fitness and Health...and that’s job specific programming.  As a firefighter in an aggressive and busy department, I have to be prepared. As a personal trainer/instructor/coach for that past 14 years, I’ve done countless amounts of programs and workouts. When it comes to Matt from Venator Performance, I couldn’t recommend them enough. 


 Every workout is strategically designed to make you better at your profession. Matt is a huge compliment to my success as a firefighter and a coach. Not only that, the content in the programs he provides give you a better way of life.

Feeling better on and off the job and being prepared for what life throws you is what’s it’s all about. 

Jonathan- Firefighter/Fitness Coach

Venator HP has been a major contributing factor for the decrease and elimination of daily pain that I was feeling. Matt has crafted a group program yet kept my individual needs in mind to assist in strength training, mobility and endurance. The program includes training to support my sedentary desk job as well as my active lifestyle. For months I was unable to sleep without pain and within two weeks of training under Venator HP, that pain disappeared. Matt offers a wealth of knowledge with an acute attention to detail and care for his clients. I’m extremely happy that I adopted this program!

Yvette - BJJ Practitioner

"Matt's professionalism is top tier, his awareness in communicating with his clients has exceeded my expectations.  I look forward to applying the skills he taught me to become better.  I highly recommend his services.

Gary - BJJ athlete/New Bow Hunter

"I recently started using the breathing patterns that Matt taught us in the Venator group classes with my 90+ band and orchestra students at school.  The results were night and day better- increased concentration, reduced anxiety, and, overall, significantly enhanced performance.  We are now starting every rehearsal with breath work and meditation because of Matt, and my students are reporting they are also using these techniques in other classes because of the noticeable benefits."

Adam - BJJ Athlete

"The program has been excellent in training me to be comfortable with what I avoid, due to pain and physical resistance.  I have slowly recovered from old injuries and inevitably avoided new ones through constant attention to stress and tightness in my body.  Not only through workouts, but also with every day life style decisions.  I strongly recommend this program for anyone that is looking to, not only take their training to the next level, but also for those who have  adapted around a particular pain or stress in their body, potentially and unknowlying causing a chain of stress that will take longer to undo without this particular program."

Anthony - BJJ Practitioner

"Love this training.  Has been a game changer for me, literally and figuratively...re-learning how I should be exercising and enjoying the benefits of the work in the things I love to do like BJJ, hunting, skiing, climbing, supporting my family...and just generally walking around the world while not in pain and being progressively more fit.  Feeling fortunate to have found Venator."


"Big thanks for Venator Human Performance...my regular workouts with Matt are helping me feel more fit & recover much, much faster...I've also been able to roll for 4-5 rounds on a regular basis, a major accomplishment for me for sure!"

Pat W - Bow Hunter/BJJ Practitioner

"No joke, best decision I ever made.  I'll never stop saying that you fixed my neck pain within 3 weeks.  I haven't had any neck pain in 4 months or so.  I've dealt with constant low back pain for over 7 years now, which has been reduced dramatically.  Not to mention the fact that I've lost 35lbs with him!"
