All Bodies Strong

All Bodies Strong was a longtime dream of competitive powerlifters Christina Malone and Will Lay. As fat, queer athletes, they were used to navigating spaces that were cramped, judgmental, and designed with a narrow idea of fitness in mind. They got strong anyway. But they also knew they deserved more—and so did everyone else who’s ever felt out of place in a traditional gym. That experience fueled their mission: to create a gym built by and for larger bodies from the ground up. All Bodies Strong is the first fat-owned and operated gym in the Pacific Northwest, designed around comfort, access, and size-inclusivity. With high-capacity equipment, wide-open layouts, trauma-informed and size-conscious coaching, every detail reflects All Bodies Strong’s commitment to fat liberation and athletic excellence. What they’ve built isn’t just a gym—it’s the space they always needed, and now it’s here for anyone who’s ever been made to feel like they don’t belong in fitness.
