About Me

I grew up in a family that was very passionate about health and fitness. I was a 3 sport athlete in HS and a 2 sport athlete in college (football & track). I have always enjoyed helping and coaching people, and find it very rewarding to help someone realize their potential and hit their goals. Outside of work I still enjoy being very active, playing many recreational sports and other pick up games. Then relaxing on a beach.

Testimonials

Donna C.

I've been training with Lance for 1 1/2 yrs and am still impressed with his ability to give a varied and balanced workout that never grows old! At the beginning he helped restore my weight, health, and strength after a serious encounter with Covid. A year into training I felt ready to undergo a long-needed hip replacement. The Doctors were amazed with my speedy recovery. Thank you Lance! With his expert training my fitness level was high going into surgery. Within two weeks post-surgery, I ditched the walker and was climbing stairs. Cleared for gym workouts at 6 weeks post-surgery, Lance is now expertly bringing me back to my previous fitness level! Because of these scheduled training sessions, I faithfully come to the gym and then add an aerobic swim and sauna for a perfect workout. Have also made some great friends with staff and fellow patrons!! Coon Rapids Lifetime Fitness is the Best!!

Exceptional trainer! Lance always has a positive attitude and his workouts are always challenging and fun! I have been working with Lance for almost 6 months now. Since that timeframe, I have lost almost 20 lbs., lowered my blood pressure to normal levels where my doctor took me off my blood pressure medication, and I've become stronger and healthier! Thanks' Lance!!!!!

Lance is an awesome trainer for someone who was in desperate need of strength recovery with negligible experience on the work out floor! In six weeks he restored my strength (plus some) after being bed ridden for five weeks. His cheerful attitude, motivation, watchful eye, and appropriate workouts were exactly what I needed. Progress is good and I plan to continue to maintain and build my strength level. Age 66.

Awesome trainer! Lance is very personable coupled with a lot of knowledge. I scheduled a session to check my form on a couple different lifts and lets just say you don't know how much you're doing incorrectly until advised by a professional! I would recommend Lance to anyone looking to get in shape/nutritional planning/or check form.

I've been meeting with Lance twice a week since I retired almost three years ago. I've more than met my goal of better strength, flexibility and balance. This has enhanced my bicycling, canoeing and cross country skiing enjoyment. I feel I'm a different person physically and in attitude.

Craig M.

I have been working with Lance since January 2021. Through that time frame, there have been many life challenges such as COVID restrictions, COVID diagnosis and injuries. Through that Lance has remained consistent with his desire to see me continue to improve but also flexible in his tactics with allowed me to progress through adversities. I have been and will continue to meet my health and fitness goals through lifestyle changes - both nutrition and working with Lance at Lifetime Fitness. Thank you Lance!

Not like other trainers I've worked with and got me enjoying working out again after transitioning out of physical therapy. I didn't expect to be at this level of fitness again, this soon, or possibly ever. Can just as easily push me or offer modifications. Offers different types of work outs and variety that I was missing in workouts before.

Lance is a one of the best personal trainers that I’ve worked with. What makes Lance great is his positive and bright attitude, he cares about his clients goals, and the best part about Lance is that he pays attention to form and technique. I’ve worked with Lance for about a year, at a different gym. I joined Lifetime as soon as my contract was up so that I could work with Lance again. He has helped me become stronger and more healthy. Thank you Lance for keeping me motivated and reaching for the next set of heavy weights :-)
