About Us
Welcome to Conn Human Performance.
ABOUT ME
Hey, I'm Garrett Conn. Founder of Conn Human Performance and the performance coach behind the work you'll see across this site.
Since you're here, let me take a second to actually introduce myself.
I live in Champlin, Minnesota, with my wife, Sarah, who is, I'll be fully transparent, more athletic than I am and beats me at almost everything. It's fine. I'm fine. We have two incredible kids, Jett and Odette, and our dog Crue, who holds the household together.
We're die-hard Minnesota sports fans of every team, every season. Don't recommend it if you enjoy emotional stability.
A couple of things you might not expect from your coach: I used to coach high school girls. I located my shoulder mid-race. I finished anyway. That's how I operate.
Sixymnastics. And I've competed in two 24-hour obstacle races, including one where I've seen years of coaching have taken me through high school athletes, college performers, members of the Timberwolves and Vikings organizations, and now high-performing professionals all over the country. I still train clients in person at my Champlin location and in St. Paul. But over the last several years, I've built Conn Human Performance to reach the formerly athletic adult who quietly stopped training and wants to get back to who they used to be.

I grew up an athlete. It was who I was, not just what I did.
Then college happened.
What most people call the "Freshman 15" hit me more like the Freshman 30. And somewhere in there, I realized I had a choice to make. I had decided I was going to coach for a living, and I knew that if I was going to ask athletes to perform, I had to look and live the part myself.
So I made a decision.
I lost over 45 pounds and never looked back. But more importantly, I figured out how, not through a 90-day program or a meal plan I couldn't sustain, but through building systems that actually worked inside my real life.
That was the beginning of 16 years of coaching. Every client I've trained since then has gotten the tools, the frameworks, and the hard-won lessons from that journey — and then some.

You used to be an athlete.
You know what it feels like to compete, to move well, to feel sharp in your body. That version of you existed. And somewhere between building a career, running a business, raising a family, that version got buried.
You haven't stopped wanting it back. In fact, that's exactly what haunts you, comparing where you are now to who you used to be athletically, and not being able to close the gap.
You've tried. But without the right systems built around your actual schedule and the life you're already living, you burn out. Every time.
That cycle ends here.
I help high-performing business owners, professionals, and entrepreneurs Train, Feel, and Look like the athlete they've always been, without spending hours in the gym, by building systems that work inside your life, not against it.

I'm not for everyone, and I mean that as a filter, not a flex.
Here's who thrives in my coaching:
· You're willing to do the work. No shortcuts. No excuses.
· You're open to feedback. Even when it's uncomfortable.
· You complete your assignments. The work between sessions is where the results actually happen.
· You “run toward” your coach, not away. When things get hard, you lean in…not disappear.
· You communicate honestly. Open, transparent, no guessing games.
If that's you, let's talk.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
Built for Results
I don't write generic programs. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all training. And I don't sell the "transformation in 30 days" version of fitness, because it doesn't hold.
As a certified performance coach in Minnesota, every program I build starts with the person, not the workout. That means individualized training built around your body, your schedule, your history, and your specific goals. It means performance-based tracking that actually measures progress, not vanity metrics. It means smart, careful programming around old injuries and accumulated wear because most of my clients walk in with something to work around. And it means real coaching, not just a PDF and a thumbs up.
Performance coaching services in Minnesota at this level are rare because most coaches don't build them this way. I do, because anything less doesn't hold up to the lives my clients are actually living.
NO GUESSWORK. JUST PROGRESS.
Simple, Structured, Effective.
You walk into every session knowing exactly what you're doing and why. That's the deal.
My performance training system in Minnesota is built around three things most coaches skip: identity work before the first workout, floor-and-ceiling programming so the work survives bad weeks, and three-dimensional sports performance training that respects the way the body actually moves. The combination is why my clients don't fall off at week six the way they did with every other program they tried.
Sixteen years of experience behind every decision. Every session has a purpose. Every program has a reason. No filler, no fluff, no "do this random workout because the app said so." Just smart coaching, consistent execution, and real progress that compounds over the years.
If you're ready to see what that looks like, book a strategy call. That's where we figure out whether we fit.
