Industrial Strength: Fitness & Jiu Jitsu, Portland OR

Great staff, classes, and facility. The workouts are high quality and instructors are engaged and personable. If you’re looking to simplify your fitness, this is an excellent option. Just show up and put in effort, the instructors take care of the workout planning and coaching. Highly recommend.

I can’t recommend Olympic Weightlifting at Industrial Strength enough! Mira is such a wonderful coach with an unbelievable amount of knowledge not only regarding the sport specifically, but also mobility and general training, which I’ve found to be so helpful. She is constantly looking for ways to help her athletes improve and she really helps you understand the techniques being taught. The sense of community and the team atmosphere is so amazing, I’d encourage anyone interested in Olympic Weightlifting to give it a try!

Mira and Industrial Strength are awesome! I go there because I’m not an expert in strength training and they are. I know my time, sweat, and effort are used productively. As a result, I’ve gotten stronger, more flexible, and am more energetic at 53 than I was at 45. I love the class-based program, because all I need to do is just show up and I know I’ll get a great and balanced workout. The equipment is top notch and the class sizes are small enough everyone is given personal attention to ensure good form. This just doesn’t happen at most gyms and is key to improving gains and avoiding injuries. I’ve been working individually with Mira over the last 6 months. I had to adjust my workouts due to a heart issue and she’s developed a program that has me back in the gym and feeling my old self. Finally, the community at the gym is wonderful and is warm, friendly, and supportive. - JD

Industrial Strength treats you like family. The weightlifting team is so supportive and accepting. Mira is an incredible coach and person! Highly recommend (:

I’ve joined Industrial Strength Olympic Weightlifting program 6 months ago, and not only have I dramatically improved my strength, technique, and gainz, but also found an amazingly supportive community and new friends.
Coach Mira is fantastic! She helped me address my weaknesses and under her guidance I was able to achieve my (yet) lifetime PR in both snatch and clean&jerk in under 4 months of training! I am feeling stronger, happier, and am ready to conquer new weights.

Can’t say enough about this gym! The coaching, the facilities and equipment are superb! If you coming to improve your technique or simply to get stronger, more mobile or maybe all of the above, your in the right place!

Great gym with passionate coaches! I started coming here about 6 months ago with a little fitness experience and no Brazilian Jiu jitsu experience whatsoever. Since then I’ve been taking classes for both strength training and jiu jitsu and I’m very satisfied with the results. The coaches take their craft very seriously and they’ll help you reach your goals whether that’s strength training, martial arts, or both. The gym also has an overall positive atmosphere and is just a fun place to be.

I became a member of Industrial Strength in December, after taking a few years away from Olympic weightlifting. Mira’s coaching is truly unparalleled, whether it comes to athlete safety, technical aspects of lifting, or simply providing motivation and positive energy. Mira has created an amazing community and safe space for all, and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough!

Cannot say enough good things about this gym and the folks that run it. Mira and Tony are two of the most knowledgeable and experienced strength coaches out there. If you're looking for a weightlifting team, Jiu Jitsu, kettlebells, general strength training, and some of the best personal training available, go see them!

Disclaimer: I can speak for the Olympic weightlifting classes only since I haven't attended any other.
Oly weightlifting is a very technical sport and Mira is a perfect fit for that. She pays attention to detail and feeds back on each rep for correction/ improvement. She is open to new methodology and improves her coaching skills all the time. The gym environment is vibrant and welcoming to everyone.
If your snatch and/ or clean & jerk are sloppy, this is where you can fix. I'm on that journey now.
Note that the Oly weightlifting classes are held in the annex gym which is at 2555 NW Upshur St. There's not much space to park on Upshur but you can street-park on the nearby 25th.

I can’t recommend Industrial enough! Mira is incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and an all around great human. She emphasizes safety, inclusion, and creating an environment in which you can thrive regardless of your experience level.

Weightlifting at industrial has been a great experience. Mira is an excellent coach that has a great eye for technique and exercise knowledge that has allowed me to get better. She'll get you right highly recommend.

Atmosphere was great and everyone was very welcoming. Coaches are very knowledgeable for all fitness levels.

I train with Mira as a remote and in person athlete. Her breadth of knowledge and experience has proven incredibly valuable to me both in terms of learning the intricacies of weightlifting and the special needs of master athletes. Her inclusive spirit is infectious and her commitment to the highest standards of integrity is an honor to be a part of. Highest marks.
