Our Story
We met our freshman year of high school—just two quirky teenagers who bonded over laughter, loyalty, and a shared sense that we didn’t quite fit the mold. We became best friends, started dating, and before long, knew that God had something big planned for us—not just together, but through us.
We got married young, full of dreams (and cats), with a vision to build a life and business that would help people live healthier, fuller lives. Not in the “hustle harder” kind of way—but in a way that honored their values, deepened their joy, and multiplied their impact.
“I (Lance) stepped into my first dream job at 20—as a certified personal trainer—and felt like the luckiest guy alive. I wasn’t just helping people lose weight or build muscle. I was helping them find the same confidence and inner strength that my own transformation had given me. (You can read more about that in my full story.) But, over time we realized this journey isn’t just physical."
“I (Lauren) never imagined I’d be part of a health and fitness business. I hated working out, grew up on Dr. Pepper and Taco Bell, and thought “fitness people” were a different breed entirely. But after struggling with confidence and gaining 35 pounds in a short time, I hit a breaking point. Not because of numbers on a scale—but because I felt like I had lost myself.
Lance helped me start making simple changes, I found my rhythm, and over time, reclaimed my energy and self-worth. Not through perfection—but through babysteps, consistency in habits over time and steady progress.
Today, I support the JoyfullyFit mission behind the scenes as concierge—helping new clients get oriented, answering questions, and making sure everything runs smoothly so they always know where to go and what to do next.”
We know what it’s like to feel stuck, discouraged, or overwhelmed—especially when you’re trying to change without the right structure, support, or alignment. And we’ve seen firsthand what becomes possible when you’re finally equipped with the right tools, encouragement, and grace to grow into who God designed you to be.
Together, we’ve built JoyfullyFit not just as a coaching company, but as a calling. We believe your body isn’t just something to be “fixed”—it’s something to be aligned, stewarded, and strengthened for the bigger life God’s called you to live.
Whether you’re the high-achieving leader who’s crushing it professionally but quietly struggling with your health…
Or the parent who’s poured into everyone else for years and is finally ready to pour back into yourself…
We’re here to walk with you.
This is more than a business to us.
It’s our ministry, our marriage mission, and our way of helping others step into the aligned, joy-filled life they were created for.

Lance Caron
Founder & Faith-Driven Transformation Coach
If you looked at me now, you might assume I’ve always been this guy—the coach, the fit one, the confident one. But that couldn’t be further from the truth.
I wasn’t the sporty kid growing up. I was the quiet kid. More of a bookworm than an athlete—and built like it, too.
Confidence didn’t come naturally—and neither did strength. I hated the pudge around my midsection, felt weak and too skinny and deep down, I just wanted to feel confident in my own skin… to not feel so awkward, so unsure of myself in social settings.
I might not have cared much for sports—but I did care about looking and feeling stronger and more confident.
So I chased physical fitness. I thought that if I could change my body, the confidence would follow—and to a degree, it did. I built muscle, got leaner, and felt better in the mirror. But something was still missing. No matter how lean or strong I got, I was never satisfied. Something always felt… off. The goal post always seemed to move. I’d lose fat, then sabotage myself. Overtrain, then burn out or get injured. So, I would hustle harder to make up for it, then feel emptier.
What I didn’t realize back then is that I was building my health on sand—chasing external change without ever addressing the deeper foundation. Trying to diet, grind, or out-discipline my way to self-worth. I dove deep into mindset, habits, and psychology—trying to crack the code. And while those tools helped, they weren’t the root.
Even though I’d accepted Christ at 7, I was still trying to earn my worth in the world’s way—grinding for perfection, treating fitness as a way to fix my brokenness instead of inviting God into it. And like so many others, I kept slipping.
Everything changed when I stopped trying to fix myself for approval and started stewarding my health with God at the center.
I stopped chasing surface-level goals and started aligning my health with what actually matters: identity, stewardship, and truth.
When I began treating my health as a spiritual act, rebuilding from the inside out—aligned with my values and calling instead of just my image—it no longer required hustle.
No longer to impress anyone, but to become the man God was calling me to be.
The pressure lifted. My habits became joyful, not burdensome. And almost overnight, the results stuck.
That’s when JoyfullyFit was born.
I created this program for faith driven high-performing professionals and entrepreneurs like me—the ones who’ve succeeded in so many areas of life, but quietly feel misaligned in their own body.
People who don’t need another diet or dopamine hit… they need a deeper reason. A method that honors their values. And a coach who understands the real stuff behind the struggle.
This isn’t just fitness coaching. It’s biblical life and health coaching for the high achiever who’s ready to stop pretending, stop overcompensating, and finally feel as strong and centered as they look on paper.
My belief? Health and fitness should never be the center of your life—but they should amplify the quality of it. And when your “why” is bigger than you, discipline stops feeling like a grind—and starts becoming devotion.
At nearly 40, I’m healthier, happier, and stronger than I ever was in my 20s—not because I work harder, but because I walk in alignment. And that’s what I help others do, too.
JoyfullyFit isn’t about chasing perfection. It’s about building your health on the Rock instead of sand—so your energy, confidence, and leadership can multiply into every area of your life.
If that resonates, you’re in the right place.
If you’re ready to stop white-knuckling your way to temporary results and start becoming the best version of who God called you to be— I’d be honored to walk this road with you.
Let’s build it together—from the inside out.
Lauren Caron
Wife, Former Diet-Hater, & JoyfullyFit Concierge
I’m not your typical "fitness girl"—and definitely not a coach. But I am living proof that sustainable transformation is possible... even if you hate working out and grew up on Dr. Pepper and Taco Bell like I did.
For the first 21 years of my life, I lived on junk food and swore I’d never be into fitness. (It still makes me laugh that I’m married to a health coach now.)
But after Lance and I got married, the combination of inactivity and poor eating habits caught up fast. I gained 35 pounds in a short time—and at just 4'11", that felt like 50.
My confidence hit rock bottom.
I wanted to hide at every event, cried in dressing rooms, and dreaded photos. But after one particularly hard holiday season, something in me snapped—and I started making small, consistent changes.
Nothing extreme, no fitness competitor routine. Just progress.
Eventually, I didn’t even recognize the girl in the "before" photos anymore—not because of the number on the scale, but because I finally felt confident in my own skin.
Now I help support the JoyfullyFit mission behind the scenes. I'm not on the coaching team, but I’ve walked the same road as many of our clients—and I know what it’s like to feel stuck, uncomfortable, and unsure of where to begin.
So if you think you hate working out, or that you’re too far gone to change—I get it. I was you. And I just want you to know… it is possible.
What Are JoyfullyFit Clients Saying?
"I got into a funk and soon felt like I wasn't even close to on par with anything in my life. The mental and physical go hand in hand and once my 'physical' fell off, mentally I was toast. Now, I'm under 190 which I haven't been in 17 years. "

"My confidence has gone through the roof and I’m no longer tired and feeling a state of hunger all the time either.
Lance has helped me reach my 100 pound goal! I also went from a size 22-24 down to a 6 and I feel great!"
Shanna A ● Lost 100+ lbs.
"Before I met you guys... I tried a ton of things. I did manage to lose weight once but eventually gained it back and when i tried to go on the strict diet again my body was very unhappy. I even talked to nutritionists and couldn't lose weight.
You were my 'try one more thing, then when it doesn't work I can blame it on bad genes'... If i haven't said it enough, thank you. I love the new me and the new life."
