What to Expect Working with Lance
I want my clients to be educated about their bodies and understand the causes of their issues. I will explain to them how all the different exercises are helping them and how they actually affect the body. I think I’m also fun to hang around! :)
His Greatest Success
An interesting story is that a couple of years ago, after my family went to Yosemite, we spent a day in Napa & Sonoma and did a wine tour. I struck up a conversation with a French Canadian who I noticed was limping. We said he had a patellar tendon issue, which led to a hip issue, and he had been suffering from this for a year. Well, I couldn’t let this continue, so I wrote down a whole workout routine for him and showed him how to do the exercises. In the aisleway of the bus, I was doing split squats and all kinds of things, to which I’m sure to an outsider seemed goofy. I had only an hour with him, and I poured everything I knew into him, knowing I would never see him again. He and his wife were beyond thankful for my time and energy. I still smile thinking of that and believe wherever he is, that he is healed and his life is immeasurably better.
