detroit muscle gym is thrilled to host
strength over suicide

Strength Over Suicide is a community EXPO, Fundraiser, and strength competition to be held at Detroit Muscle Gym on September 27, 2025, during Suicide Prevention Month. We’re bringing together lifters, veterans, first responders, COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, and local supporters to raise awareness, challenge mental health stigma, and connect people to resources.

Through lifting events, resource booths, and personal stories, we’re showing that real strength is not just about what you lift—but about showing up, speaking out, and supporting one another.

PROCEEDS WILL BENEFIT SIX FEET OVER, A LOCAL NONPROFIT THAT PROVIDES FINANCIAL AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORT FOR survivors of suicide loss and individuals with lived experience of suicide, while engaging in community prevention through mental health education and advocacy to support healthier futures.
