Survivor of extreme childhood trauma at the hands of his mother, Lance Callahan, nearly 50, started bodybuilding at 18. His "claim to fame" as a child was that he appeared and won on a tv show called Star Search when he was 11/12. First time he ever sang in public. He had a brief career in musical theater from the ages of 18-23, but then found his real calling and has been a full-time Personal Trainer since the age of 24. He just loves people and making them stronger! He's just like his dog that way, haha. An expert many times over, he has conducted upwards of 50,000 sessions over the course of his career. Specializing in strength training, his clients have ranged in age from 16-89. He prides himself on being able to enhance the weightlifting journey of clients at any level, novice to advanced. He began his career on the westside of Los Angeles from 2001-2007. In 2007 he became an eastsider and was #1 trainer at the iconic Body Builders Gym in Silver Lake for the next 13 years–during which time he worked with clients like Plácido Domingo, Kumail Nanjiani, Teresa Strasser, Mark Grotjan, David Wain, Baron Vaughn, Mike O'Gorman, Jeff Lewis, Bud Cort, Gale Howard, countless others, and appeared as a Trainer on the shortlived reality show Love Handles on Lifetime–until the gym closed during Covid in 2020. Since 2020, Lance has been training exclusively at his own private studio. In 2023-24 he had the honor of working with legendary film producer Lynda Obst during the final year of her life and is currently working as the Personal Trainer for one of Hollywood's brightest stars, among some other heavy hitters. In addition to his paid work, Lance donates one session per week to support a cancer survivor in remission. Apart from all the incredible men in his life, Lance has dear female friends whom he cherishes with all his heart and aspires to be a kind, loving man to all who come near him or see him from afar. Lance went to the Boston Conservatory of Music for one semester, holds a BA in English from UCLA, and has been certified by the American College of Sports Medicine and Life Coach Institute of Orange County. But mostly, he's been doing this for 25 years and knows his shit. Famous for his powerful bench press and big laugh, Lance's hobbies include bodybuilding, singing, horror films, politics, and hanging out with his shelter dog Bud.
