strong like a mutha
Strong Like a Mutha was Founded in 2016 by Lyndsey Roberts after the birth of
her son. Having previously been a professional dancer and exercised her whole
life, Lyndsey found herself in a whole new world with a high risk pregnancy and
very little evidence based information on safe and effective training for women
in her situation. Ultimately this resulted in the complete halting of exercise
which then caused lots of pain and discomfort throughout her pregnancy.
Returning to exercise postnatally Lyndsey knew there had to be more information
out there and began to feel drawn to helping and supporting women in the fitness
industry. And so Strong Like a Mutha was born! Lyndsey and the SLAM community
have created a gym environment (The Mutha Ship) that is welcoming, inviting,
non-intimidating and allows its members to work as hard as they like. At Strong
Like a Mutha we all understand that a traditional gym setting can be
intimidating and that is why we have created this sanctuary in the middle of the
city just for you ❤️ Picture of Lyndsey Roberts sitting in the Strong Like a
Mutha Gym - The Mutha Ship Our Purpose To provide a safe and supportive space
where all humans are welcomed and celebrated. To provide education and guidance
that allows us to make changes in the fitness industry and the world. To raise
the voices of women and those marginalized by society. Our Vision We envision a
change in the fitness industry that empowers everyone, not just physically but
mentally and emotionally. We want to part of a future where the perception of
our health isn’t determined by the size and shape of our body, and where our
self worth isn’t fed by diet culture. Our Values We are guided by our core
values. Every decision we make, marketing material we create or service we
introduce must come from a place of: Integrity, Community, Kindness,
Inclusivity, Connection, Empowerment
