Hi, I’m John Matthew Olivas, founder of Olivas Performance & Wellness — and your coach on this journey toward better health, strength, and confidence.
Fitness has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From playing organized sports growing up to leading teams as the General Manager of TruFit El Paso, I’ve always believed that movement is medicine — and discipline is life-changing.
But I also get what it’s like to be busy, tired, and pulled in every direction. As a husband, father, and working professional, I understand the real-world challenges people face when trying to prioritize their health. That’s why I created OPW: to provide realistic, no-BS coaching that actually fits your life — not the other way around.
Whether you’re training with me in person here in West El Paso or working with me online from anywhere, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. No guesswork. No gimmicks. Just proven methods, built around you.
Let’s make progress personal — and permanent.
