Lance Castaneda | Master Trainer & Yoga Teacher
I’m Lance, personal trainer, former D1 athlete, and dad of 3.
After my first son was born I gradually went from happy-go-lucky and fit… to slow, tired, and stressed.
Through it all, being a dad was/is the most important thing in my life.
So showing up as a half version of myself was completely unacceptable.
I didn't need to compete like i did in my 20's...
I just wanted to feel like ME again.
And I realized… a lot of dads want that same comeback.
That’s why I help ditch stubborn fat and get their energy back, in a way that actually fits busy dad life.
Because I know, for most dads…
Looking, moving, and feeling like an athlete isn’t just about 6-packs.
It’s about having a body and mind that feel alive and support you in being the dad you want to be.
It’s about feeling like yourself again so you can drink it all in while your kids are still young.
That’s what being a Vital Dad is all about.
(It’s NOT age, low testosterone, or lack of motivation — it’s a hidden athletic shutdown switch nobody warns dads about. You’ll learn how to flip it back on.)
These are the exact levers my clients pull to drop 10–20 lbs while working full-time, raising kids, and not living in the gym. No strict dieting. No endless cardio.
Even if they’ve been stuck for years, dealing with dad stress, or feel like their body doesn’t bounce back anymore — you’ll see what actually works (and why everything else failed).
