TESTIMONIALS: FROM THOSE WHO KNOW
“Lance is excellent! I began working with Lance nearly four years ago after a shoulder injury had limited my workouts for years. Lance developed a program suited to my situation that built my overall fitness level while strengthening and stabilizing my shoulder through its full range of motion. I highly recommend Thor Sports Performance!”
– Darrin Foster, Small Business Owner/Triathlete/Hiker
“I have been training with Lance since I first started my competitive volleyball career. His expertise and dedication to bettering me as an athlete and person has played a pivotal role in helping me achieve my goals. His commitment to my success has been instrumental and I could not be more thankful for the impact he has had on my pursuits as a high school, club level and collegiate athlete.”
– Olivia Henkel, 3x NCAA D3 Tournament Qualifier/Cornell College Volleyball
“I’ve known and trained with Coach Lance since I was in middle school. His knowledge and advice on strength training, conditioning and nutritional requirements to support me are best in class. The one thing that stands out above all is that he’s an even better person and mentor that pushes people to be the best version of themselves.”
– Sam Rienken, Defender/Yale University Lacrosse Team
“Lance is a pro! For a girl who wasn’t a fan of the gym, his personal training motivated me physically and mentally. His style is comfortable and personable, yet challenges you to reach your goals safely and effectively.
He educated me on nutrition, and developed workouts to improve my endurance for cycling and running. I’ve seen results, by the increase of my performance while participating in duathlons.
Lance also has a knack for motivating teens! After just a couple training sessions, my 16 year old son has taken an interest in the gym. Since then, his confidence has noticeably increased as well as his physical motivation towards exercise.
Lance is a cool guy! He listens well to your needs, and consistently explains why we’re doing what we’re doing. I would recommend his training to anyone no matter what level your workout is.”
– Tracy Crawford, Mom/Small Business Owner/Duathlete
“I worked with Coach Lance all 4 years of playing high school football and he helped me elevate my game to a place I never thought possible. Not only has he brought my game to an elite level, but I’ve gained so much valuable knowledge about nutrition, recovery and so many other aspects that most trainers tend to skip past. Coach Lance has helped me grow both on and off the field as a man. His emphasis on accountability and self-discipline has stuck with me to this day. If you’re looking to improve your physical health and also mold yourself into a better person in all aspects of your life I HIGHLY recommend Coach Lance and Thor Sports Performance!
– Brady Witherspoon, 2022 All-Colorado High School Football Team

Along with physical preparation, my mental toughness was elevated because of the tough workouts and competitions I was pushed through with Thor Sport Performance.”
– Reed Henkel, 2 Sport High School Athlete, Linebacker/Chadron State College Football
“I was with Coach Lance for all 4 years of my high school football experience
and he’s been a role model to be around. He pushes you to your full potential and encourages you to be better physically and mentally. Outside of sports and training, he is a great human being to be around. I’m truly blessed to have been around him and experience the greatness he brings with him.”

-Todd Youngberg, Chartered Financial Analyst & Fitness Enthusiast
“I had the pleasure of having Coach Henkel as my head trainer and football coach in high school. During that time, he was able to grow me as an athlete by driving home the importance of recovery, helped me progress in areas that I was weak, like mobility and rehabilitation techniques. He has a superior understanding of body mechanics. Whatever your fitness goal, I’m confident Thor Sports Performance can help get you there.”
-Micheal Runels, Colorado Mesa University Football
“Coach Lance is a great coach, trainer, and educator, but more over a good person. I worked with Coach Lance starting 12 years ago.

-Zach Friedman, 5 Sport High School Athlete, Defender/Princeton University Lacrosse
