“Training for the 2008 Olympic Weightlifting Team I was at college and had all sorts of distractions in the weight room. I missed the 2008 Olympic Games by 1 lift. 2012 will be different. Now that I am at home, and training at The Lab 2012 is in the bank!”

Tips For Setting Fitness Goals
The best advice when setting goals is to use the past to determine your future. If you have never had personal training in St. Louis, these are some guidelines:
- Look at what you enjoy
- Look at what has worked for you in the past and use that as a foundation for your renewed commitment to fitness
- Write down—really in writing—what you want to accomplish
- Consider your timeline if you have one
With this information in hand, personal training in St. Louis is the next step. Your trainer will review goals with you, decide what can be accomplished safely and healthily and in what timeframe, and construct a fitness plan of action with you. Using your goals as a starting point, a good trainer will expand and add to them so that you really have a complete plan that will maximize your fitness efforts and get you where you want to be.
Keeping It Real
When setting goals, it is important to make them both challenging and achievable. You want your fitness goals to be high enough, but not so high that you cannot attain them and will become frustrated and discouraged.
In the beginning, you might not understand what is and isn't realistic to expect if you are not familiar with exercising or with your abilities. A personal trainer will have a much better idea of what can realistically be accomplished overall and within given periods of time.
Moving On
Goals are important when you are starting out in fitness, but goal-setting does not end once you've accomplished what you set out to do. With personal training in St. Louis, there is always room to grow and plenty of benefits to be had. Once you reach your core goals, talk to your trainer and set your sights higher. Determine what else you are capable of achieving, and start anew. Make your goals as lofty or as simple as you like—perhaps you want to run a marathon, but if you just want to maintain motivation and continued good health that's okay, too. Whatever your new-found goals, your personal trainer will know what the best ways to keep your interest and to reach those objectives are.
Goals in fitness are ever changing. They are the thing that will get you going at the outset and also the thing that keeps you moving and succeeding as time goes on. Spend some time setting your fitness goals based on the past and the future to ensure your complete success.

Success Stories
“I have lost over 133 pounds, I am no longer diabetic after 12 years, and have come off of 2 blood pressure medications. All of this happened inside of 8 months while working with Justin Thacker's nutrition and exercise programs. I have had to buy a new pair of pants every 2 weeks! Justin saved my life and I have so many new beginnings as I turn 51.”
“Exercise has always been such a huge part of my life. I have been a runner for years. Once I started working with Justin 1-on-1. I achieved things I never thought possible at my age! On my 75th birthday I did 80 pushups!!!
*That’s not all folks: Donald also has done these amazing feats: Squatted 225 for 15 reps, leg pressed 550 for 15 reps, and dips with 90 pounds attached to his body. All at age 75 and a bodyweight of only 150 pounds...absolutely incredible!
“I have been working with Justin for about 6 years. In the first 7 months of training he helped me lose over 60 pounds and now I am hard as a rock. I never knew how much muscle I was hiding!”
“We have been training together with a trainer for years but once we started training with Justin we found out just what we were missing. Every workout is a fresh new challenge!”
