Leah Lutz: Simply Stronger

​“Leah, 5 years ago, would you have ever imagined doing what you are now?”


Never. And this question isn’t about my weight loss, it’s about my strength training. Losing over 100 lbs was something I had doubted I could do, but I was determined to make it finally happen. And I did. Strength training and eventually competing was never, ever part of that plan to “get healthy,” but back then I clearly had little to no substantive understanding of what being “healthy” would mean. I just thought it meant to lose weight, get to a smaller size, and finally be “not overweight.”

Leah you're such an inspiration to those of us who are in similar situations such as yourself. I've struggled with being overweight most of my adult life and no real direction on where to go. Barbell training has given me purpose and you've personally helped me in achieving my goals of losing fat and getting stronger. Good luck in the IPL Worlds, I personally will be rooting for you.
