What’s your favorite enduraLAB memory? My favorite memory of training at the LAB would be training with my Dad, Lanny Lancarte. I went in thinking I was going to have a low-key workout with he and Coach Hargrave. I was quickly aware that I was training in Beast Mode with those two! It was the greatest! Although, I think I was sore for a week.

Our October male Member of the Month is Stoffer Bjorklund. His relationship with enduraLAB began at a Texas Rangers game where he met Cami, his now fiancé. Stoffer’s favorite lift is the deadlift; his least favorite are thrusters.
