My daughter signed me up and I am so grateful. I am 69 years old and finding new strength, balance and flexibility with the help of the kind, enthusiastic and knowledgeable trainers. It's just a great gym.

Paradigm is a one of a kind experience! Walking into the gym every day is such a joy. Each trainer makes it a point to know your name and greets you each morning. They are always ready to give you accommodations, adjustments, or alternative exercises. I have easily gotten into the best shape of my life while training at Paradigm. They are THE best performance gym I have ever been to and I've played D1 and professional sports.

Paradigm sport is the absolute best! Every class provides a killer workout that leaves you feeling satisfied and motivated to keep coming back. Paradigm’s team is amazing and so friendly, everyone is like family. Also the locker rooms are lovely and always so clean. Highly recommend joining this gym.

Paradigm is magic and I couldn't live without it! I have been injury free for over 3 years and I contribute 100% of that to the excellent and deliberate instruction that I get during every workout there. The level of professionalism and collective experience there is top notch no matter what sport you are trying to improve upon.

I'm 50 years old and have been attending classes at Paradigm for about 3 months now.Recovering from a knee injury (playing volleyball), coaches are consistently adapting the workouts keeping them challenging and fun. I can already feel that my overall fitness is improving week after week. Paradigm also maintains a friendly atmosphere, the music during classes is great (especially Olivia's Rock/Ska playlist ? ).

I love Paradigm gym! The two different types of classes are complementary; the trainers are superbly qualified and attentive; staff is very responsive; the gym is well equipped and clean; and members are friendly and supportive. What more can you ask for?

Excellent gym. The coaches are the best and the training is intense and rewarding. Top notch facilities and equipment, too. I couldn’t recommend Paradigm more highly.

Bear Crawls or Burpees? You pick your poison. I have been training with Paradigm Sport since 2016 and just can’t get enough of this great workout experience. Their Team Endurance workouts are just the tonic whether you’re twenty or sixty something years of age they cater to all. For an all body physical and mental challenge that will leave you feeling energized and rewarded for your efforts.The trainers are always engaged to help you get the maximum out of the 60 minute class.The 25 yards of inside turf divides the weights and cardio section providing a fantastic space for stretching, floor and low impact movements.This is not Cross Fit by the way but a class that will put your entire body through natural body exercises, isometric, dumbbells, kettle bells and cardio to build strength and endurance over time. You do this 3 to 4 times per week and results will follow quickly. It’s a great supplement to your outdoor activities.

Paradigm provides a welcoming environment to help you get started on a healthier lifestyle, maintain what you have, or make gains toward a higher level of fitness. The staff and trainers are very friendly and approachable. Regardless of who greets you at the door or who the trainer is for that session, you will be in good hands. What I appreciate the most is that the trainers allow you to exercise at your own intensity, never being pushy or making you feel like you don't belong. The facility itself is spacious, bright, and clean with ample equipment. The Team Trainings and Small Group Trainings are well thought out and can be scaled to any physical ability. Every exercise is explained and demonstrated ahead of time, and the trainers are always ready to help out if you get confused during the workout. I'm 53-years-old and recently started bringing my 13-year-old son to join me at Team Trainings. He, too, loves the Paradigm atmosphere and the benefits of leading a healthy lifestyle surrounded by positive staff, trainers, and members. If you join for a month, you'll join for a year (and beyond). It's that kind of place.

Paradigm is the best gym in town! All of the staff and trainers are extremely knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. The workouts are always changing and encompass all muscle groups. I love team training and small group classes because they offer high intensity and strength options.

This is a fantastic gym! I was referred by a member to do the intro offer back in December, and it got me hooked. I love the Team Training workouts because they target all areas of the body and leave me feeling great the rest of the day. All of the trainers here are excellent and pay close attention to form, offering adjustments and feedback as you go. I've learned so many new exercises in a short amount of time here, and can honestly say I've seen rapid improvements in my strength and endurance. The space is SUPER clean and has quality equipment, nice locker rooms, and plenty of parking. If you're looking for a gym in Santa Cruz, definitely check it out!

I've been going to traditional fitness gyms since I was a freshman in high school, but after taking a 2+ year hiatus from indoor gyms due to Covid, I'm now utilizing the one-on-one training at Paradigm. Man oh man, am I glad to have found Paradigm! This gym has changed my life.There are lots of places you can exercise in Santa Cruz, but not a lot of places where you can find a knowledgeable and positive community of folks who all strive to create the right environment for personal and physical growth. It doesn't matter if you're 12-years old and learning how to hit a baseball, a professional athlete in your prime, 45-years old and dealing with the aches and pains of middle age, or 80-years old and learning how to age with grace and strength... Paradigm creates a fun, safe, inclusive community to help you achieve your goals.I originally joined to treat some back pain/discomfort that was a result of middle-age, having two young children, and a lifetime of athletics. The initial consultation and resulting training program helped pinpoint issues and alleviated my pain. However, I remain a committed member for completely different reasons than when I joined.You won't find better facilities in Santa Cruz County, nor will you find better trainers. Most importantly though, you won't find better people--staff, trainers, patrons, and owners. As I wrote earlier, there are lots of places you can go to exercise in Santa Cruz, but not a lot of places where you can get more out of your workout than just sweat and soreness. There aren't a lot of places where the Santa Cruz community comes together in a positive, supportive environment like they do at Paradigm.Support your fitness goals, support your mental health, built your community, and support local business...I can't recommend Paradigm highly enough!

This is the best gym I have ever been a part of! If I could give them more stars I would ;-) The quality of instruction/programming, facility, management, and equipment is amazing! All of the instructors were highly qualified and I always felt they had our best interest at heart. I learned so much about functional strength and correct posture - plus there was a healthy level of competitiveness. I credit Paradigm Fitness for helping me get into the best shape, both physically and mentally. I moved so I am no longer part of the gym, but I recommend it to anyone that is thinking of turning their life around. Joey is the heart and soul of Paradigm Fitness and it was a pleasure to know him and to be a part of his gym! I love his focus, professionalism, vision, and stick-to-itiveness! Have fun and get strong ;-)

This past weekend I participated in the Paradigm Sport Commitment day event. The event started with a free workout to which anyone was invited (current/past member or otherwise). There were upwards of 45 participants in this class and it couldn't have gone any smoother! The coaches had everything so clearly organized and set up that there was no confusion from anyone on instructions, movements, form, etc. Class moved with smooth transitions, and the stations were easily progressed and regressed per the individual's needs. The coaches never stopped moving around us and making sure everyone was moving properly, and when appropriate, pushing themselves. Even as a fitness coach myself, I can get intimidated and overwhelmed being a participant in such a large scale class, but that was never the case at any point in time. I ended up pushing myself quite hard and had a great time doing so!Paradigm is far and above the best facility with the best staff in the Santa Cruz County. Shoutout and huge thanks to the entire staff for such an incredible event!!
