Personal Training
“With retirement, I thought I might also move out of Austin. I won't be
doing that, though,
unless I can take my Personal Trainer with me.
That would be Johanna Owens, who is truly outstanding. She not only has the ability and experience to tailor training precisely to the individual, she is also very careful and very interested in her clients' complete well-being.
That goes for folks of all ages - from those the age of her High School Lacrosse team members, and younger, to those as "mature" as I am. I'd be comfortable (pleased, actually) to recommend her to anyone interested in a Trainer/Coach.”

"Jo,
I just wanted to say thank you so much for all of the work that you've
done with me. You have kept me motivated, designed workouts specifically for my
needs and written workouts for me to do on my own.
You always make it fun, and when we are finished, I feel like I've really done something positive for myself. The best part is that we have great conversations, and I don't ever feel awkward or uncomfortable like I have with other trainers. We workout, we talk and then I'm done, and I can't believe that it's been an hour. I can definitely see and feel the difference in my body. You are awesome."
Best Wishes,
Christian G.
Lacrosse Coach
"Coach Johanna Owens’ teaching background, extensive lacrosse experience, hard work, and coaching ability make TPH Lacrosse worth every dime. She makes lacrosse fun while teaching the finer points and strategies of the sport; she routinely takes the time to work one-on-one with my daughter and has raised her knowledge and ability well ahead of her peers.
Coach Jo’s skills as a coach, team building exercises, and lessons in sportsmanship make this club the premier women’s lacrosse experience in Central Texas. The practices, the great teammates, the recruiting advice, and the challenging tournaments make TPH an excellent program, but Coach Jo makes it a superb elite lacrosse club team."
Terry M., Parent of TPH Elite Player
"Coach Jo has really raised my level of play. During practice and games she is very specific about what I have done well and on how I can improve. She has high expectations for players but keeps the game fun. I love playing for the Texas Play Hard team."
Lizzie S., Bowie High School, TPH Elite Player
"Our first daughter picked up a lacrosse stick ten years ago, and Johanna has been an encouraging force ever since. Johanna was the head ref at the time and helped all the new teams in the area learn the rules of this exciting new game to Central Texas. We have had three daughters learn much from Coach Jo at many levels. Now, our third daughter is lucky enough to be a part of Johanna's exciting new club team.
Johanna has done so much to encourage women's lacrosse players of all levels in Central Texas ... she was the first UT coach, she organized the first training camp, and she created and managed the summer league, which all three of our daughters love to play every summer. Johanna is the history of Central Texas lacrosse."
Thank you Jo,
Cathy and Jim H.
"The interaction between Coach Jo and her players is great to watch. My daughter joined Texas Play Hard, because she wanted to improve her skills and game strategy. In just three months, it has been amazing to watch how quickly her skills have improved and how her love of the sport has increased. Her experience with Coach Jo has enabled her to become a more effective player in all aspects of the game."
