The two-week trial begins with a 45 minute one-on-one session with one of our coaches.

TESTIMONIALS

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.

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 out here since November. Great small group strength training classes. The workouts are awesome. The staff and Tony, the owner have been amazing! I highly recommend this gym.

I have known Tony since 2012, where I met him at an HKC workshop. What struck me that day was his level of professionalism and genuine commitment to helping people improve. Fast forward a few years, my sentiments have not changed. I had the opportunity to work with Tony in a one-on-one setting in February of 2015. I came to him with torn up hands, a supposed grip strength problem, a sore back and cranky SI joint, and a kettlebell snatch technique that I knew was the root of these problems, yet didn’t know how to fix on my own.

In just a few short minutes he was able to dissect my technique and we broke down the exercise in to chunks I could understand. We began to re-groove the movement from the ground up. By the end of the session, my technique had achieved success to a point where my hands were no longer tired, my back no longer hurt, and I felt the correct muscles engaging 100 percent of the time! It was a great feeling. I also realized how exhausting it was to snatch correctly. I could barely do 10 correctly with one hand with the 24kg before I was winded. It’s been almost four weeks since that day, and all I can say is that Tony’s patience and technical suggestions made all the difference. I have been slowly increasing my volume and weight and have had no problems so far. I have now done over 20 in a row on one arm with the 24kg without setting the bell down, which is an amazing accomplishment for me.
I know it is not long before I feel “snatch test ready” all of the time.

Thank you, Tony!
