A review on the numbers, not an opinion: nobody here has joined The Upgrade, and nothing below is a verdict.
The Upgrade is a Skool community, created in November 2023, set up as a network for men working on their purpose and other areas of their lives.[1] The about text is written by Luke Barnatt and frames progress as a matter of focus, standards and execution.[1] It is written for men who feel stuck or inconsistent, want more discipline, confidence and presence, care about their bodies, and want to build business skills and better relationships.[1] Members get three courses: one on clarity of purpose that lines up vision, goals and daily actions, one on resilience and discipline with a fighting theme, and one on five social mistakes that undermine respect and confidence.[1] A private community of men provides networking and accountability.[1]
