If you’ve been looking for a place that takes working out as seriously as you do, Titans Gym may be the answer
By Patricia Nugent
If you’re interested in getting fit in a clean, spacious environment full of the highest quality equipment, knowledgeable and dedicated staff, fitness classes and fellow members to support and guide you, Titans Gym in Mentor is the place for you.
With more than 27 years of experience in the fitness industry, Titans owner Geoff DelGrosso wants you to know that this gym is different than any other experience you may have had with a gym or fitness club membership.
“December 3 was our 21st anniversary,” says Geoff. “We attribute our success to our painstakingly consistent product. Members see the same staff, we don’t employ salespeople, classes are included in your membership and we offer the best equipment and cleanest space you’ll find. It’s that simple.”
By “we,” Geoff means himself and Kim Sutch, Titans manager whom Geoff inherited when he bought the gym in 2001.
“I’ve been working in this building for more than 23 years,” says Kim. “When Geoff bought the old gym, I knew he was dedicated to doing things the right way. Not a lot of frills, just a place for motivated members to reach their fitness goals in a comfortable and supportive setting.”
Through the years, Geoff expanded Titans to include three other facilities in Northeast Ohio.
“We decided that we wanted to focus solely on Mentor’s space,” says Geoff. “We remodeled during Covid-19 with new showers, flooring, locker rooms, and have grown exponentially.”
Titans’ slogan, “No Frills, Just Fitness,” defines what they do. This now 27,000-square-foot space includes two levels with weights and an aerobics room downstairs and large equipment upstairs.
“We’ve added $75,000 worth of equipment in the past 18 months and have over 250 machines in the facility,” says Geoff. “We also have tanning facilities.”
Geoff says that 75% of Titans members are experienced gym-goers looking to take their gym time and fitness to another level, and the other 25% are beginners who might come in with an experienced friend but find a place for all fitness levels. Some members spend hours each day, others simply use the treadmill for a quick run or walk. Fitness goals vary but everyone here is helpful and willing to share knowledge and experience.
And someone sharing that knowledge, experience and undeniable success in her own fitness journey is G.I. Jayne, a local fitness legend who calls Titans Gym home for all her fitness needs and teaches aerobics classes here.
“People come from all over for Jayne’s classes,” says Kim. “After teaching at more traditional gyms, she prefers the environment here and loves the energy of the space.”
G.I. Jayne teaches in Titans’ aerobics room dedicated to Geoff’s mom who passed away 21 years ago after her battle with breast cancer. A special pink breast cancer wall honors Geoff’s mom and all women who come through Titans whose lives have been touched by breast cancer.
“Women sign the wall or a loved one’s name to remember and honor the women who continue this fight,” says Geoff. “It’s a great backdrop to people improving their own health and fitness.”
Titans Gym is open 24-hours a day. Try two weeks for free and contract options for monthly or yearly payments are available with no enrollment fee.
“Family and corporate discounts are also available,” says Geoff. “We have no interest in confusing you or trying to sell anything but a clean, safe place to work out, achieve your fitness goals and meet a few friends along the way.”
