The interview

What would you say to someone considering joining Upgrade Labs?

Being able to really see the data on how my health was improving, that was enough for me. So I would say to anybody that's like, 'I don't know, maybe.' Just try it. Give it three months and watch your body change.

What is the community like at Upgrade Labs?

I love the community at Upgrade Lab. From the employees to the other members, even the owners have a presence there on a regular basis and attracts a lot of like-minded people. Both my husband and I are members and we find that we have a lot in common with other members and it's great to catch up with the employees and it feels like a big family.

What specific health improvements have you seen?

I've seen huge improvements in my health. Before a year ago I had never lifted weights seriously, and I kind of came to Upgrade skeptical. But I figured I'd give it a shot. I'd do everything that they said and see if it really worked. And they have a Cell Health Analysis machine that will tell you all of your various metrics. And sure enough, even in the first month I was able to drop 2 1/2% body fat. I had more energy.

What attracted you to Upgrade Labs initially?

I didn't know that Upgrade Labs was right for me in the beginning, but it had the recovery side as well as the performance side, and I know that the cognitive is coming online. So that was attractive in the beginning, that I could do both recovery and performance. But I really just put it to the test. They laid out a protocol for me and I followed it religiously and retested my numbers and just kept seeing improvements.

How would you describe the staff and the support provided?

I love their staff. Everybody's super kind, very helpful. I never feel lost or confused. Again, I hadn't lifted before I started my experience at Upgrade and the tech they have there can be intimidating, but there's somebody there every step of the way, especially in the beginning to walk you through everything until you feel comfortable doing it on your own.

How do you view the cost of the membership?

Well, listen, it's an investment, right? It's not a free experience. And I recognize, given the state of the world, that it can be an expense. But you either pay for your health or you pay for your sickness. And I made the choice to invest in my health. I feel like at Upgrade, because you have the three different modalities to improve your health, it is the best investment for the dollar.
