The 2-week trial of classes begins with an initial orientation session (scheduled by appointment, we will email you) to show you around the gym and make sure you know what to expect in classes. This orientation also includes a quick assessment called a “movement screen” to determine if there are any areas of mobility we think you would benefit from working on – note that some of our classes have minimum requirements for mobility before participation. After your orientation session is complete you are then ready to start taking classes. The 2-week period starts on the date of your first class (not the date of purchase and not necessarily the date of your orientation session).

The 2-week trial includes access to the following classes:

S.P.E.A.D. (Strength, Power, Endurance, Agility, Durability)
Kettlebell Technique (pending your score on the movement screen)
Classes available for those who have met test-in criteria
- Strength & Conditioning (strength & technique minimums required)
- Kettlebell level 1 (strength & technique minimums required)
Jiu Jitsu Fundamentals
Jiu Jitsu
Women’s Jiu Jitsu
No Gi Jiu Jitsu
Kickboxing

If you still have questions you’d like to ask before getting started with one of the three options above, please use this form and we will get back to you ASAP.

NOTE: If you are interested in either Olympic style Weightlifting (the competition lifts of the snatch and the clean&jerk) or joining our Oregon LWC competition team please email us directly at info@industrialstrengthgym.com

TESTIMONIALS

Industrial Strength gym is a fantastic place to train! I have been at IS since December of 2013 and a competitive athlete most of my life and I couldn’t be happier with the trainers, classes and the quality of this facility. IS is an extremely welcoming community, the coaches and clients have created a supportive and positive environment. We also challenge each other daily to get the most out of our training time. Attention to detail and form are stressed in every class, so each athlete gets the most out of their workouts…sweating, training hard and having a blast in the process. Whether it’s strength and conditioning, kettlebells, BJJ or Olympic lifting, each class is excellently programmed and coached. As if the above is not enough, IS has the best physical therapist I have ever worked with. Josh Kidd is a rock star! He has worked closely with my surgeon and trainers at IS, so that I get the most out of my recovery. (I had knee surgery in February). Josh practices out of IS two days a week and the value of having him work so closely with the IS trainers is immeasurable. I have been able to successfully train, pre and post surgery, due to the expertise and knowledge of the trainers and Josh. The goal of lifting again and competing in Olympic lifting is around the corner and I can’t wait!! I know Mira will have me ready to compete and reach my goals. Industrial Strength has so many resources and options in one place…and a large, flat screen TV for chill time. Gotta love those little extras!

Strength and Conditioning classes and Kettlebell classes are my fav – all trainers and members are sooo supportive and they make the classes super fun! IS trainers give challenging workouts while focusing on form & safety – doing it right first! They also tailor it to your personal ability & level of strength as they encourage you to reach your individual goals. If you have any injuries, they would like to know them to help you still get a great workout without causing any pain or issues. They also offer PT! We are encouraged to keep journals to track our progress and challenge ourselves further for the following workouts. If you want a positive atmosphere to get strong & fit and to learn how to lift safely, Industrial Strength is for you 🙂

I’ve been working full time in the fitness industry, as a powerlifting event promoter and muscle magazine journalist, since 2001 and my travels and projects have taken me to gyms all over The USA and as far away as SE Europe. So I’ve seen the best of the best and the worst of the worst (think abandoned highway rest area with some weights laying around.) I’m happy to report that Industrial Strength Gym in Portland is on the far end of the “Good” side of the scale. Their equipment is competition grade (Ivanko, Texas Strength, Rogue, ect) and they have 4 power racks, 2 bench / squat combo racks and 3 Olympic Weightlifting / deadlifting platforms so there’s plenty of space for barbell based training. In addition, they’ve got a double wide astro turf track for sleds and conditioning drills and enough kettlebells to make a Russian strongman smile. And if you like a full arsenal of barbells, they have almost every model available; from trap bars to safety squat bars to Texas deadlifting bars. If that’s not enough to lure you in to check this facility out, I can confirm that it’s SPOTLESS (even the bathrooms are shining like a nice hotel lobby’s) and the trainers are collegiately educated (i.e. bachelor’s degree in exercise physiology) + they all compete in various gym sports (powerlifting, Oly lifting, kettlebell, grappling, ect.) and they’re an affiliate with Impact Jiu Jitsu, the largest submission grappling school in Oregon. And, when we come to train in the late afternoons, we can always find free parking within 2 blocks of their location which is a nice change to the normal downtown Portland parking situation. Industrial Strength Gym is my location of choice for all of my squat, deadlift and conditioning sessions.

I’m in town on vacation and always like to train Brazilian jiujitsu (BJJ) in a new city when possible. I contacted Tony Gracia and he was very welcoming. I took the noon class (a beginner level), and I enjoyed it very much. He ran us through some great BJJ specific warmups and taught an excellent fundamentals class focusing on passing the half guard and transitioning into head and arm chokes. I was impressed with his detail oriented, fundamental focused and inviting teaching style. The gym itself was very clean and offered some great private instruction on fitness. Tony and I had some great matches. While he is a larger opponent I never felt that he relied on his size or strength. He is a very technical player. If you’re in the Portland area, I highly recommend as I believe he’s a solid instructor and a new or seasoned student can learn something.
