Lara Sturm/Crossfit Johns Creek

Owner/Coach

My husband and I own CrossFit Johns Creek and are also co-owners of CrossFit Chattahoochee in Duluth. I am also a coach for Team Rohr Powerlifiting.

I compete and am active within USA Powerlifting. USA Powerlifting is the largest drug-tested powerlifting federation within the US and is recognized by the International Powerlifting Federation. (The IPF is recognized by the IOC and is included in the World Games.) Within the USAPL, I act as a State Referee, one of the Athlete Representatives for the organization and as meet director.

As an athlete, I won the National Championship in 2015 for both the 63k (138lb) Open class and the Masters class and then went on to win my 2nd Masters IPF World Championship title. I hold American records for the squat (402lb) and total (1003lb) for my age and weight class. My best meet lifts are 402 squat, 220 bench, 391 Deadlift, 1003 total. I am an equipped lifter which means I wear supportive gear while lifting which helps add more weight to your lifts but is not forgiving, hurts a lot, and as hard to master as a perfect golf swing, which means I never will… lol

I am the meet director for the annual USAPL Powerlifting for Pink, a local meet that is also a fundraiser. Our fundraising efforts go to Paint GA Pink, a local breast cancer non-profit that helps breast cancer patients continue to pay their bills while they are undergoing treatment. Over the last three years we have raised about 15k!

Dr. Wells often times see’s the last resort patients, those who have tried everything, and everything has failed them. She believes there is still hope, there is still healing that will take place, there is still a remnant!

World-Class Fitness

in 100 Words:

“Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.”
