Led by Willie King James James Jackson, Michelle Bunting, 40, a home day care provider in St. Louis (left) and Antonia Pearson, 40, of Florissant and a VP in the finance department at Citigroup (right), work out with others Thursday, January 5, 2012, under the Five Star Cuts Barber Shop in St. Louis.  I was going from gym to gym, from trainers to boxing classes, buying all the equipment, a treadmill, a bike and nothing worked, said Bunting. I came here and lost the weight. I look forward to coming, because I see the success of the other women in here who are losing weight. Photo Erik M. Lunsford elunsford@post-dispatch.com

Willie King James James Jackson yells at a client during a workout Thursday, January 5, 2012, under the Five Star Cuts Barber Shop in St. Louis. I care about my clients and the joy they have now, he said. Those (critics) are the same individuals who are not helping anyone; not saving any lives. They're not doing anything to help the situation. Erik M. Lunsford elunsford@post-dispatch.com
