Carl Hoffsten resuming his training 4 weeks into chemo and radiation therapy for brain cancer:
”This place is a paradise!”
“The premium membership has worked wonders for me to keep me in shape and motivated. I no longer have to worry about designing my own workouts or worry if I am performing the exercises correctly. Not to mention I am saving a TON of time, money, and frustration!“
“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!”

In the beginning
You may start off your fitness program with plenty of enthusiasm, but many of us start finding excuses to miss an exercise session or two as early as two weeks in. You’re sore and tired and you’d rather just stay at home. Of course you’re sore! You’re using muscles that haven’t been used in quite a long time, it’s perfectly normal. Make sure your body gets plenty of rest, but don’t fall for this well worn excuse. If imagining how amazing you’ll look and feel when you reach your goal seems too far out of your grasp at this point, give yourself a short term goal.
For example, create a goal that says that after six weeks of constant exercise, you’ll finally treat yourself to that luxury item you’ve had your eye on. Once you reach the first six weeks, make a new goal and work towards that. The time it takes to reach your final goal will be different for everyone and doesn’t have a definitive date, so create a solid goal that you can reach in the short term. A St. Louis weight loss Expert can help you stay on track so that you not only reach your short term goals, but your lifetime goal of being fit and healthy!
Pitfalls in the middle
The most common pitfall most of us will face on the path to our goal is a fitness plateau. All of a sudden, the numbers on the scale, the measurement of your thighs, or the amount of weight you can lift all stays magically the same, well before you’ve reached your goal. Does this mean that you’ve done as much as your body can handle? No way! Our bodies are incredible machines and will work hard to achieve their maximum capacity at whatever task we give them, but eventually the body will become so efficient that it no longer needs to use as much energy or burn as many calories to perform the task at hand.
This usually happens when you do the same exercises over and over again, so the solution may be as simple as changing the intensity of the exercise or the exercise itself. A St. louis weight loss expert can help you make the necessary changes to push through the plateau and continue on your way.
Those last five pounds
It’s true; the less fat you have to lose, the harder it is to get rid of it. Those infamous last five pounds can be a killer to push through, but think of how excited you’ll be to know you pushed through and stuck to your commitment from the beginning until the very end. If you’re having trouble getting past those last five pounds, consider consulting a St. Louis weight loss expert, who is helpful during all stages of reaching your fitness goals. A St. Louis weight loss expert can help design a fitness plan for you from the beginning, give you ideas or pushing through your plateaus, and keep you motivated all the way to the end, when you’ve reached your goal.

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!”
