Dr. Barry J. Lasko's Story
"Many don’t know what Barry has overcome to achieve such outstanding results. Barry has the focus and determination of a true winner. He is a coach’s dream because he will do exactly what you tell him.
"On our first meeting, I was worried because Barry could barely climb the stairs to his treadmill test. The routine physician release to work out and find out what was wrong with his breathing turned into an emergency pacemaker and defibrillator install due to sleep apnea coupled with a congenital heart defect.
"With Barry’s heart doctor’s okay, we saw his determination and hope deepen. The breathing machine for sleep apnea and the pacemaker corrected the heartbeat, so we got permission to gradually work up from slow workouts 2 days a week to 5 days a week and ten 45-minute sessions of cardio a week. He also attended all video posing practices and professional photography sessions to see how he was coming in. Many people wouldn’t dream of getting up before work and then coming back after a busy day, or follow a very strict diet for 12 weeks. That’s what it takes to look like this for a contest. He trained like a champion, integrated laser surgery into his dentistry business, rescues animals, and continues to be a devoted husband and father of four. He even has a cute therapy dog in his dental office. Barry is a champion, role model and inspiration to all of us
here at LVAC." - Carol Strom

Wow...Where to begin? I was skinny up until I was 7
years old, then the weight problem developed and
persisted for the next, almost, 30 years. Weight up &
down, up & down...how many times? Many, at least 5 or 6
to count off the top of my head. Then after praying for
years to overcome heaviness, it was time. In the
beginning of summer 2002, I was at my heaviest around,
243+. I made a decision to lose the weight at that time.
The weight started to come off slowly with smaller
portions. I became conscious about watching what I was
eating, smaller portions, half portions, portions as
small as your fist (two fists at first!) lots of salads,
carrots... Click here to continue |

 I
joined the gym in June of 2002. I began to go on a "regular"
basis in June of 2003. Although I am quite driven and self-disciplined, I was able to lose only 1 pound in a two-month
period. It wasn't until I received personal one-on-one training
from Carol that I began to see results. And although I was
eating pretty healthy, Carol pointed out that my portions
were too big, and set me up on an easy to follow diet plan. I
was also concerned that with my Fibromyalgia (a condition that
is like arthritis of the soft tissues and muscles) I would not
be able to do a proper workout without being in serious pain
from it. Carol had knowledge of this condition, and was able
to tailor my initial workout schedule and diet...Click here

I couldn't be more satisfied with my progress. The fact
that Carol Strom is a full time fitness professional
gives me confidence that she will be there for me though
out the challenge of regaining my health and fitness. I
am very impressed not only by Carol Strom's
expertise in the field of exercise and weight training,
but in her overall fitness knowledge. I have been
struggling with an ever burgeoning body for the last 20
years. She has managed to make me work harder that I
thought possible. With all of the choices in Las Vegas,
I plan to continue to drive from North Las Vegas to
South Las Vegas in Green Valley on Eastern and the 215
beltway three times a week! |

I am the bass player for Paul Revere and the Raiders. Since age
15 I have made a living on stage playing music. While living
most of my life on the road like a rock star; food became my
best friend and exercise became a memory. Over this time I
suffered the loss of my father. Then I lost my mother, my
brother, and 2 dogs of 15 years (who were like children to my
wife and I), all in less than a year! I was at my highest weight
230+ lbs and I couldn't walk because of bad knees. In fact, I
had to wear knee braces on stage to get through each
performance. I couldn't sleep, had no energy, and was diagnosed
with high blood pressure. I looked and felt like an 80 year old
man with a bad back....Click here

In six months Carol Strom has helped me lose weight and
inches that I have never managed by myself in the past
30 years. My family in England could not believe the
change in me. Carol Strom has completely changed my
attitude about exercise and food, and given me back a
passion for life.

 "Carol
more than just trains your muscles, she trains your
mind. Carol believes in more that just going through
the motions, she wants her clients to really understand
what is going on in your body. Instead of just doing the
normal mundane routines to shape your body, she likes to
challenge your body by using all different techniques to
reach difference trigger points.
In
the year I have been with Carol, my body type has
changed dramatically. I also see my body in a new light.
I truly feel more in tune with my body and I have more
confidence than ever." Heather G. - Lord

 "I
struggled with my weight for years due to lack of
exercise and back eating habits. However, all that
changed when my health was in danger, as I experience
high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol levels. My
hard work, perseverance, and motivation helped me reach
my goals, demonstrating tremendous results. I thank my
family, friends, and trainer for their support and
encouragement." Erik B.
