I joined Paradigm right after sustaining a bad shoulder injury. I needed a lot of exercise modifications and found the small group trainings specifically with Abby and Bode to be very beneficial. They were creative to come up with exercises I could do and are a big part of the reason I have recovered. The programing at Paradigm is dynamic and I continue to get stronger and feel that I am less likely to get injured in the future. I highly recommend this gym it is 100% worth it

Paradigm Sport is a game-changer!

After major shoulder surgery left me wondering if I'd ever get back to professional moto riding, I was referred to Joey at Paradigm Sport. It's been two years of training with him, and I can confidently say this gym and Joey have transformed not just my fitness but my life. Thanks to his personalized, expert guidance, I've regained the strength, mobility, and confidence I needed to get back on my bike and compete at a professional level again.

The gym itself is incredibly inviting. It's not like your typical fitness center — the community here is something special. You'll find athletes from all disciplines, from pro baseball players to weekend warriors, all training hard, pushing themselves, and supporting each other. The camaraderie is unlike anything I’ve experienced.

Joey's knowledge is second to none, but it's his passion for helping people succeed that sets him apart. Whether you're rehabbing an injury or aiming for peak performance, Paradigm Sport is the place to be. I couldn't recommend it more highly. If you're serious about your health and your goals, this is where you need to be.

Not only is Paradigm a beautiful space physically (clean, well ventilated, high open ceilings), it is also such an amazing community. Although I just joined recently (at the end of July 2024), I already feel like I'm part of the Paradigm family. Other participants and all staff members are welcoming and supportive. I really enjoy working with all the trainers, but just want to give a special shout out to Bode (because I've worked with him the most)! Not only does he explain movements clearly and provide tips on how to perform exercises safely, but he also has a way of making each person feel special and like they truly belong. And who doesn't love his "song of the day"?! Paradigm is a fantastic place for our entire family; I (46 years old) am able to work out with my husband (55 years old), my son (15 years old), and even my mom (76 years old). Thank you for creating such a fun place to get swole!!

Truly the best gym I’ve ever been to! The trainers are so friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and know how to get the most out of you. Team trainings are great for a good sweat but personally the Small Group is whats got me hooked! Every session I feel like I’m learning and leveling up. Highly highly recommend!
