If you answered yes to any of these questions, we’ve built this gym with you in mind.

About the owner
Hey reader, my name is Jake Munro.
My journey in the world of fitness began when I was just 14 years old. I attended Whitmore Lake High School, where I had the privilege of being a powerlifting instructor during my senior year. At that time, our school held the title of state champs in powerlifting for 10 consecutive years. I firmly believe that exercise is a fundamental human right, and that everyone deserves a space where they can freely and comfortably nurture their physical and mental well-being.
Having worked as a wind turbine technician and traveled across the country, I have had the opportunity to visit numerous gyms. Throughout my experiences, I have encountered and witnessed various issues. These experiences have fueled my determination to bring about positive change here at Allied Strength. As a transgender man, I know first-hand the feeling of unease and discomfort that can come with stepping into a gym. I understand that many of you have experienced the same. My goal is to create an environment where you feel empowered, connected, safe, and inspired here at Allied Strength.
Let us come together as strangers and leave as friends.
“I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live.” – George Bernard Shaw
