About Upgraded Industries in Mentor, Ohio
Upgraded Industries offers coaching for every level, a 24/7 strength floor, combat sports and on-site recovery care, built by a firefighter and paramedic who wanted one place to do it all.
The Upgraded Industries story
Upgraded Industries started in 2017 as a part-time personal training business run by DJ, a full-time firefighter and paramedic. What began with bodybuilding programs and custom nutrition plans grew into a full training and recovery facility.
DJ’s goal hasn’t changed: elite training, expert recovery and a strong community under one roof, whether you’re walking into a gym for the first time or getting ready to compete. Because members get 24/7 access, training also fits around shift work, school and family.
The gym also runs an amateur MMA fight team, and its fighters’ records are listed on Tapology. For everyone else, the same coaches teach fundamentals classes every week, so you can start at your own pace and see the class schedule before your first visit.
