Where Are Portland's Size-Inclusive Gyms?
Briefly

"I didn't want to live the rest of my life trying to shrink, just so I could fit someone else's vision." This profound realization sparked Christina Malone's journey towards self-acceptance and fostering body positivity.
Malone and Lay's gym, All Bodies Strong, uniquely promotes movement, strength-gaining, and fun, placing an emphasis on inclusivity rather than traditional weight loss goals.
The couple are advocates of fat liberation, highlighting how many aspects of daily life, from seating to fitness, are structured around smaller bodies, leading to broader societal implications.
Current medical views are shifting, recognizing that regular exercise and health do not solely equate to weight loss, affirming that those in larger bodies can also benefit from physical activity.
