Paragon Health & Fitness

Fantastic experience: I started strength training at Paragon about six months ago and have been going consistently three times a week ever since. I can’t say enough good things about the coaches- shout out to Adam who’s been helping me train for an Olympic triathlon this summer. When I started, I had very little experience with lifting, but now it’s something I really enjoy and can’t imagine going without. The coaches are supportive, knowledgeable, and always attentive to my goals. They modify workouts when needed for old injuries or soreness while still pushing me to improve—and somehow make 6 a.m. workouts fun. Adam has gone above and beyond, helping me build strength and endurance, including a personalized cardio assessment to support my triathlon training. Paragon is a fantastic environment with great people. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their fitness or athletic performance

Fantastic experience: I reluctantly started weight training again, but I joined because I knew it was what my body needed at this point in my life. Truth be old I dreaded going each time but always left feeling good about.what I just did. Just after a few weeks of going, twice a week, I noticed differences in my body and energy. And I want to be 100% clear that it is because of the care this team takes when developing the workout and the progression, not to mention the attention given to each person there. Even though I signed up for the group training (four people with one trainer) I feel like it is a 1 on 1 session. I still do not love weight training, but now that I have been there for 3 months I somehow feel excited to go. The results are totally there, but the community in Paragon is what makes the biggest difference for me.

Fantastic experience: I've been training at Paragon for 2 years and it's still as fresh and fun as day 1. I've enjoyed the semi-private sessions where I can get personalized attention from a coach but still have the feeling of community building throughout the whole gym. The coaches bring a positive energy and work with you on your goals whether they are physical or mental. The assistance and feedback they give also provide me with a safe environment to learn and train my mind/body. The programs are never boring. If I'm not feeling something, the coaches are flexible to change it up. Highly recommend for all levels of fitness and for people who want a supportive community.

Fantastic experience: The best! I went from having never strength trained to going twice a week for the past year. Great environment and knowledgeable coaches. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Discovered Paragon through a flyer at my climbing gym. I was looking for a place to make friends and cross train. During my first weeks at the gym, Coach Christie introduced me to other members she thought I would vibe with. The coaches here try to build a welcoming space with house rules like not commenting on any bodies. I've been going to this gym for a year now and I've hit a number of lifting and biking PRs through Coach Caleb tweaking the semi-private training program to my specific goals. I'm happy with the progress I've made because of joining this gym.

Fantastic experience: Great people + great workout. Approachable and challenging!

Fantastic experience: I was so lucky to find this place from a Google search a few years ago. I absolutely love the staff and atmosphere of this gym. Very positive environment where everyone works hard and is nice and polite. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Paragon for a little over a year, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. As someone who doesn’t particularly enjoy working out or going to the gym, this program has been a game-changer for me. The routine and structure have kept me on track, even on days when my motivation is low. Everyone, from the coaches to fellow gym-goers, is incredibly supportive and encouraging — there is such a great atmosphere that makes working out much more enjoyable than I expected. Coach Caleb has done an amazing job of tailoring my workouts to my needs, teaching me the proper techniques, and helping me see real progress. I highly recommend Caleb and Paragon to anyone looking for a great gym and a positive, motivating environment!

Fantastic experience: I can’t express enough how much I love this gym. There are no big box gym feels here. You can tell the coaches genuinely care about each member and are ready to create workouts to fit each members needs! I highly recommend giving Paragon a try!

Fantastic experience: I have belonged to several gyms over the years, but coming to Paragon was a totally different experience. From day one, I felt welcomed by friendly, helpful and professional staff. The gym has a good environment and the staff and my fellow gym mates are always encouraging. I look forward to gym days!

Fantastic experience: Joining Paragon is easily one of the best decisions I've ever made. If you find yourself wanting to get in better shape but don't know where to start, are intimidated by the idea of joining a gym, or don't think you have what it takes, Paragon is absolutely the answer for you. Their incredibly kind and knowledgeable coaching staff are ready to answer your questions, provide guidance, and help you achieve your goals. The gym is judgement free with a very positive and encouraging atmosphere, so working out there never feels like a chore. I've been a member of Paragon for just about two years, and I'm currently in the best shape of my life thanks to their coaching staff. If you're still not sure, they offer a free intro session on their website, so there's no harm in giving it a try.

Fantastic experience: I did a 2 week trial and loved the atmosphere and trainers so much I immediately rolled into a Semi-Private membership. It’s been 2 months going 2x and week. I like that you can change, pause or cancel if you need to. The explanation of how sessions go and how progress is tracked was thorough. Initially, I spent an hour with Trainer Kristen going over my goals, health and exercise history including limitations or old injuries. My only concern was that I have Multiple Sclerosis and my body has a mind of its own. Kristen assured me that she will be mindful of that and my training will always be tailored to me regardless of what others are doing during the semi-private sessions. That being said, this is my first time going to a gym and working with a trainer so I don’t have anything to compare it to. What I’d like to stress is how inviting and inclusive Paragon is. The amenities are really nice and I feel positive energy with the other clients every session. People are happy to be here! I’ve just started level 2 and my body is feeling stronger and leaner. I’ve also noticed an improvement in my sleep habits and mental clarity. Working out at Paragon has been a game- changer. I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Paragon is great! My trainer Ravi always listens and tailors my workout to what I need. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I worked out with Ravi this past summer and I’m having one of my best seasons playing rugby thanks to all the hard work done with Ravi.

Fantastic experience: Can’t share enough good things about Paragon. The atmosphere, the staff, the programming is all a 10 out of 10. They are incredibly supportive to your personal goals while also work to push you towards progress in a safe way.

Fantastic experience: I love coming to Paragon! I always look forward to my workouts with Kendall twice a week. Kendall is an amazing trainer and makes the workouts fun yet challenging. She helps me track my weights in this app that the gym uses. All the coaches are really friendly. Christie is also a great coach and is there to help you with anything you need! Caleb is another coach that I enjoyed working with! I recommend giving Paragon a try!

Fantastic experience: Paragon is the greatest. They build not only strength but discipline and confidence. The coaches are knowledgeable and encouraging. It’s a positive environment for all ages and all bodies. It’s just what I needed.

Fantastic experience: I look forward to training at Paragon!! Workouts are challenging, even through injury’s I never feel like I shouldn’t show up….alway have a great workout. Caleb, Gabby, along with the rest of the trainers are very encouraging. Happy I found Paragon!

Fantastic experience: Paragon is ingeniously set up in a way that feels like it is personalized to you, every time you come in. Everyone knows you and understands what you are working on and even if you don't work with the same trainer every time they are all capable of adjusting to your individual needs. I wanted to expand my exercise routine and work closely with someone on my form: I have surpassed and expanded my goals but what's more is what else I received: a place that feels like coming home. I love being a part of this community, it is emotionally healthy for everyone - it is a core component of the house rules: no one is afraid to be right where they are in their own physical health journey. You literally experience the camaraderie when you achieve something, yet there is an amazing balance so all people are able to enjoy training here and be a part of the group. I love this place and am so thankful to be a part of this community for years to come.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training here since I was 13 and I am now a division 1 swimmer in college, the coaches not only build your strength but also create such a big support system to help you achieve all your goals. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a lot of the coaches at paragon such as Gabby, Kristen, and Ravi to name a few and all of them have helped me excel in and out of the pool in so many ways.

Fantastic experience: Love Paragon! I've been going for about 4 years now and always look forward to my workouts with the great team they have on staff. I just wish I would have started years ago. Kristen, Adam, Christie, and Gabby are awesome trainers and highly recommend Paragon! They also have an awesome app that I use to track my workouts while on the road too.

Fantastic experience: I had never worked out before until I started with Paragon and Kristen almost a year ago. Kristen makes the work out fun and challenging! She provides positive encouragement to help you push yourself. A great coach and trainer!

Fantastic experience: Paragon is not the cheapest gym you can join, but worth it. The coaching is exceptional. I really enjoy the tone of the gym, no pressure just encouragement.

Fantastic experience: Paragon has been an amazing find for me. It had been a few (15?) years since I'd been to a real gym. I felt a little odd going back in, but all the trainers were so kind, helpful, and strategic in getting a program back together for me. It's been 6+ months and while I'm still a work in progress, I'm loving every workout!

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Really enjoy working out here the programs and coaching is fantastic. Everyone is ready to help and work with you!

Fantastic experience: Paragon has been amazing! I have been going for about 3 months now and working with Ravi has been great! I have a hand injury and he has been so accommodating and finding exercises that work for me!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Paragon Cleveland for a few months and I absolutely love it! I'm recovering from a knee injury and they've been amazing at helping me become active again. I've worked with all of the trainers and they each have their own unique skills and I learn something from each of them. Special shout-out to Kendall who's been my primary trainer. She has been incredible and patient in my recovery. She's also been so considerate in helping me achieve the correct form and seeing my strength way before I ever could. Love Paragon and highly recommend them!

Fantastic experience: Kendall has been a huge help in my recovery from a twin pregnancy and c section. I have been doing semi privates with her as well as her post natal class. I can’t say enough about what these works outs have done for me. Kendall is very knowledgeable and encouraging! I highly recommend joining Paragon.

Fantastic experience: Great training atmosphere and Coach Ravi is knowledgeable and caring

Fantastic experience: The gym I've always wanted and didn't know existed! The format of Paragon's personal training is perfect. It is intense, pushes you, but also is very well balanced and something I feel like I can grow into and maintain for years to come. The trainers are all amazing and the app to schedule and manage the classes with a very hectic personal schedule make this very manageable. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: The trainers at Paragon are awesome. Kristen always does an amazing job coming up with new workouts that consistently challenge me. She is also very personable and a joy to be around.

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough great things about Paragon! The atmosphere is fantastic, with a positive and motivating vibe that keeps me excited to work out. The coaches are friendly and attentive and create a welcoming environment for people of all fitness levels. Paragon is a gem!

Fantastic experience: Paragon Health and Fitness is such a great community for anyone at any stage of their fitness journey. The knowledge of the coaches as well as their caring approach and commitment to helping each person achieve their fitness goals is unparalleled. I have definitely made progress in my strength and health overall but another thing that has been really helpful is the individualized care and attention when needing to modify or work through injuries. I always trust the coaches’ direction and guidance to help me work through any issues I am having. All the coaches are great. I have worked primarily with Gabby and Kristen and they are so supportive, friendly and knowledgeable, knowing when to push me a little harder or when to have me modify things. (And we always have a lot of fun.) Adam is always so supportive as well and really tries to make sure everyone is getting the most out of their experience. Equipment is top notch as well. I highly recommend Paragon for anyone - those new to strength training and fitness as well as those seeking a more advanced training program.

Fantastic experience: My experience through my work has been absolutely wonderful. Kristen has been outstanding as both a trainer and nutrition coach. Always helping by making slight adjustments to do past injuries. She also as been very helpful outside of the gym. Quickly responding to emails about home qorkouts and nutrition tips. She also has recommended some versatile equipment to fill in gaps I have when working out at home.

Fantastic experience: Paragon is the best gym I’ve ever been to. The trainers are all great and the gym community is one of a kind.

Fantastic experience: Paragon member for more than six months. Great gym and great instructors. Everyone is welcoming and kind; the facilities are solid; and the one-hour workouts definitely make you sweat.

Fantastic experience: Paragon is great! The equipment is top tier, the facility is clean and the atmosphere is great. The people working out there are focused and friendly. The Coaches are easy to talk to, highly attentive, and have a deep understanding of each exercise and how to use each exercise to get the results wanted. I really can't say enough good things about the coaches. They not only push their clients to work hard, but they genuinely care for us. They work hard to offer the best program and also, when needed, to modify the program to fit individual needs, whether those needs are due to level of experience, physical ability or injury. The coaches are there, in the moment, to guide each client towards their goals. Plus they're all just so friendly. I can't recommend Paragon enough.

Fantastic experience: When I joined Paragon a year ago, I had no idea who much I would come to love the coaches and community there. I was coming off of maternity leave and was hesitant to return to the gym. My first meeting with Christie left me feeling so excited to start and I could already tell that this wouldn't be a typical gym. The coaches are very approachable, listen well and truly care about their clients. If you're looking for a welcoming place to improve your health and fitness, Paragon is the place for you. Thank you to the Paragon coaches for being such a valuable part of my life!

Fantastic experience: I have been training at Paragon Health and Fitness for about five years and can’t say enough about their knowledge in helping people who start at varying levels of fitness. My aches and pains of middle age have disappeared and I continue to feel better with time! Coach Ravi and the other coaches are exceptional. They know how to steadily push me without causing stress and help me make adjustments to the training if some part of my body hurts. The overall atmosphere provides a terrific space to jumpstart self care !

Fantastic experience: I've been workout out at Paragon for over a year now and I love it. The team of trainers at Paragon are knowledgable, friendly, motiving and extremely supportive. They create detailed workout blocks for you to achieve your goals and all you have to do is show up and do the work. Kristen is my girl but you would be lucky to work with any trainer there!

Fantastic experience: Paragon has the best trainers. I am always happy to work with them. Kristen does a great job of planning workouts and being personable.

Fantastic experience: I've probably worked out with maybe six personal trainers throughout my adult life. Nowhere compares to Paragon. After almost two years of PT for a 7-year back injury, I needed somewhere to go to continue to get stronger but was also extremely apprehensive after being injured. Frankly, I had a lot of trust issues towards any trainer who could handle my situation. I also hadn't really worked out since my injury, so I was starting from scratch. My chiropractor recommended Paragon. In less than six months, I went from apprehensively using a 25 lb kettlebell to deadlifting 165 lbs. and bench pressing 85 lbs!!! I still cannot believe the progress I've made let alone in such a short time. Every trainer is so patient and knowledgeable and respectful of each client's needs. It really is custom even though it's in a small group setting. The culture is also amazing; no douchey gym bros, no yelling, no pressure, no shame... all just good vibes. Special shout out to Ravi and Kendall for making Tuesdays and Saturdays extra chill. I currently work with Kendall, and she's very precise and thorough (and cracks me up). So not only am I coming to workout, I'm coming to hang out! Can't wait to see where I am on my first year anniversary.

Fantastic experience: I joined paragon a few months ago and I’ve been fan girling about it ever since. I was looking for a gym where people were serious about strength training but were not all about the instagram fitness aesthetic. Paragon is a body positive space that supports people no matter where they are on their fitness journey. Paragon differentiates the workouts to meet people’s individual needs. As a person that is hyper-mobile and easily prone to injury, I love having coaches that are attentive to my unique needs. My main coach, Kendall is an expert at knowing my limitations but also pushes me to my full potential. She is so knowledgeable in addition to being an absolute delight! I am a very social person, and the community and camaraderie at paragon is absolutely unmatched. I leave my sessions feeling like I have the mental and physical stamina to tackle anything! Love you Paragon!

Fantastic experience: Paragon has been one of the best additions to my life over the last year and a half! The coaches are knowledgeable and encouraging. The workouts are tailored to personal goals and physical limitations. I have never felt stronger! Aside from the training aspect, the sense of community at Paragon is unmatched. It is such a welcoming environment, and all “Paragoners” motivate and encourage each other (shout out to the 5am crew)! Paragon is the best!

Fantastic experience: I've never been a "gym" person. But, after 6 months of working with the coaches at Paragon, I can honestly say I love weight training. I already feel stronger and more capable. The vibe is relaxed, but you work hard. The coaches are truly invested in your goals - they feel like friends who have your best interests at heart. It's a body-positive atmosphere for all ages and fitness levels. There should be more gyms out there like Paragon!

Fantastic experience: Paragon is an amazing fitness center. Many amazing coaches that work together on programs to help people from all kinds of fitness levels improve themselves. I've been going for just over a year and I continue to make noticeable progress. It's more than just a typical gym and definitely worth checking out.

Fantastic experience: There’s simply no place like it. Their knowledge, skill, and kindness is second to none and they use all of these things to foster such a welcoming and progress oriented experience. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Paragon is exactly what I needed! I had been working out for 10+ years on my own and was looking to change things up a bit. I joined Paragon about 4 months ago and became stronger in those 4 months than I did working out on my own for 10 years! I am lifting heavier than I ever thought I would be able to. The atmosphere is very welcoming and the coaches are super encouraging and knowledgeable. All fitness levels are welcomed so don't feel intimidated! Paragon had been on my radar for awhile and my only regret is not reaching out sooner :)

Fantastic experience: Paragon is great! I love that all types of people work out there. All levels of fitness are welcome. The trainers are knowledgable and nice. They push you and ensure you're doing the various exercises correctly, which I find very helpful. I highly recommend Paragon!

Fantastic experience: I have been with Paragon for a year now and it has been so amazing for my progress. Workout platform is private setup in a group setting. Every workout is focused and intense. The workouts continuously change and challenge you everyday. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Life is so much better after joining paragon! The trainers feel like family, we laugh a lot, and they push you to reach your goals - they actually root for you and care! It’s so clean and the vibe is chill (with great music) First time in my life I didn’t dread going to a gym. I actually look forward to it! I felt so much stronger after just my first month. Love love love Paragon forever.

Fantastic experience: Paragon is a one of a kind gym! I joined about two years ago with a general interest in lifting and Paragon has been the perfect place for me to learn, push myself and get stronger! Thanks to the team here, I feel amazing and have been inspired to embrace a healthier lifestyle and become more active even outside of the gym. The training programs are well-rounded and customized, making it easy to stay consistent and achieve your goals. The BEST thing about Paragon is the knowledgeable and personable trainers who truly value health and are committed to see every person succeed in their fitness journey! If you’re thinking about checking them out, just do it!! You'll be glad you did! :)

Fantastic experience: Paragon Health + Fitness is an incredible gym — they’re technical and intentional with how they create and plan their sessions one-on-one and in groups. More importantly, the trainers are supportive and listen well to every member and their needs. I am a bodywork professional and I am always learning and inspired; I cannot recommend this gym enough :).

Fantastic experience: Paragon is the only gym I've ever actually looked forward to going to. Here's why: Logistics: Secure location, easy to find/access, good hours, and no parking stress. Equipment/space: Very clean, plenty of space, equipment in great shape, haven't had to work in my reps (but if you need to people are really nice), and there's significant variety so you'll find what you need. Community: It's a great vibe. Members treat the space and equipment with respect and are equally respectful of each other. People come in and work on their goals and are supportive of one another. It's not the kind of place where people come in just to take mirror selfies or creep for a date. It is an inclusive, judge-free community. I've seen people in their teens as well as seniors working out at the gym. They take requests for music (or you can of course use your ear buds) and even sponsor events to connect with the greater Cleveland community. Trainers: I can't say enough. They are welcoming, highly knowledgeable, and motivating. I hadn't worked with a trainer since my high school athlete days, but it has made all the difference in keeping me consistent in my routine. It's also a huge relief not having to figure out what exercises to do, if my form is right, how to use a machine/equipment, or how to modify around an injury or if my body is just feeling off. They'll meet you exactly where you are. Do yourself a favor and give Paragon a try, especially if you're in a fitness rut and want to change that!

Fantastic experience: I am so pleased with the customized and systematic training offered by Paragon Health + Fitness, especially from Christie McFarland. I went to Paragon to regain strength I’d lost from years of back pain & surgery. I was just hopeful to move and feel better. I do move and feel so much better, but I did not expect to get SO much stronger and have more energy too. A year later, and I’m able to do everything I want to do and feel strong. I could not have done this without Christie’s excellent listening skills, knowledge and systematic approach. And, the health conferences have been wonderful learning experiences as well. A great team and approach. So much more than a gym!

Fantastic experience: I joined Paragon 6 months ago and it has been one of the best decisions I could have made! The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming and the trainers are a wealth of knowledge beyond personal training. I have been able to meet several of my initial fitness goals and work with the trainers to create new ones to work toward. It is truly a community that has been built and everyone is very encouraging and welcoming. I am so thankful for all of the trainers and the owner, Adam for all that I have already gained so far! You will not regret joining one bit!

Fantastic experience: I LOVE this gym. Quick back story- I had a bad foot injury back in January 2021. After two surgeries, I wanted to get back into working out. I knew with my specific injury, weight lifting was my best option, but was fairly new to it other than high school swim team cross training. My friend had been going to Paragon for several months and raved about it, so I figured I would give it a try. From the moment I walked, I felt nothing but a warm and welcoming environment. All of the coaches knew my name by the first week and were extremely genuine, personable, knowledgeable, and kind. This still holds true today, my one year anniversary being this June 2023. I cannot recommend this gym enough. Paragon is extremely methodically in how you will progress and the coaches are your greatest cheerleaders. I went from not being able to do push ups to working my way to doing pull ups. For weightlifting being so out of my comfort zone, I could not have found a better place and community to push me and instill in me that you can accomplish anything by showing up and being consistent. Cheers to many years to come!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going here for a little over a year. The trainers are all great and really help you achieve your goals, but are not overbearing like at other gyms. The levels and the workout structures make it so you can’t wait to go to your next workout. Also love that they use apps to keep your schedule and workouts organized. I highly recommend this place to everyone I know!

Fantastic experience: Paragon has been such a good fit for me. I really appreciate the staff and have enjoyed every moment of being in that gym. All the trainers do such a great, professional job, and I love the system they have set up for group training. It truly feels very personal and you get a lot of one on one attention. It has been so life-giving for me, and I am so grateful for this place!

Fantastic experience: Fun and great space to work out in!

Fantastic experience: Great gym been going for a while definitely worth it!

Fantastic experience: Joining Paragon health & Fitness has been one of the best decisions I have made. It's a life transforming experience and it's nothing like joining a regular gym. At first, you may think whether the price is worth it! But you will soon see ACTUAL results on the investment. I like the guided training, the variety of exercises, the instructors who go above and beyond to help you succeed, and most importantly that you are joining a community not a gym. If you are determined to make real progress, check them out. You will not be disappointed

Fantastic experience: Adam is best

Fantastic experience: This is an amazing gym. Adam and his staff are great to work with and the facilities are first class all the way.

Fantastic experience: Paragon is an incredibly supportive fitness environment clearly interested in helping you improve quality of life through better movement and comprehensive training. Responsive to your unique challenges, the well-qualified trainers modify and educate, so you understand the 'why' and the 'how' of the program. Making it a part of my routine has been a positive and rewarding experience. You will notice all of the little muscles you didn't know you had, and you will be sore, but over time you will also notice increased ease around everyday activities. The nagging aches and pains from poor posture, past injuries, and neglected muscles fade; restored with strength, confidence, and a community.

Fantastic experience: >>BEST WORKOUT FACILTY/TEAM/PROGRAM HANDS DOWN<< Approximately 6 months ago I did a generic google search of "personal training" and I stumbled across Paragon. I was reading the reviews and thought, this is way too good to be true >>BUT IT IS ALL TRUE<<. Reaching out and becoming a part of this community has been the best decision that I have made in awhile. There is a lot of thought that goes into the programing. The workouts are very simple and balanced. You are encouraged to track the weights you use in an app to not only keep yourself accountable, but to see your progress. Every single one of the trainers is incredible. Not only are the trainers friendly + knowledgeable but they give you that extra little nudge to encourage you to push yourself further then you have before. I have never felt stronger both physically and mentally. Today it is easy to get sucked into unrealistic standards for fitness, and I appreciate the trainers at Paragon really keeping it real. Usually at this point in joining a new gym the excitement of going wears off for me, but I can honestly say I look forward to each session and have not dreaded going once. This is a great wellness community in Rocky River, and I feel lucky everyday that I am a part of it.

Fantastic experience: I trained and still do at paragon through my swim team. The people who work there are extremely nice and helpful. They have better equipment then some gyms I have been to.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Paragon for about 9 months now and I can't recommend it highly enough. Before joining Paragon, I was getting bored of group fitness classes and wanted to try to work closely with a trainer to set and build towards specific fitness goals. With the help of the super knowledgeable and friendly trainers there, I have met my first round of goals and am working on setting some new ones. I joined Paragon to work towards fitness goals, but I've gotten a lot more out of it than that. I love that the coaches at Paragon are super affirming and helpful. Even though I've been going there for months, I appreciate that they demonstrate exercises for me frequently, help me with my form, and have helped me work around pain and injury. They also work to curate a friendly atmosphere among all the clients, and I'm so happy that I get to be part of their community.

Fantastic experience: Paragon is an outstanding facility with the most accommodating and engaged professional personal trainers I’ve encountered throughout life and career in and around athletics. Hands down the best facility I’ve been fortunate enough utilize.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of paragon for almost 5 years and love it! My trainer is Christie and she is very knowledgeable, as are all the trainers, about movement and fitness. They see every client as an individual with different strengths, goals and abilities. As an aging adult with arthritis, Christie has devised a program specific to my needs and I feel stronger and experience less pain! Highly recommend joining Paragon!!

Fantastic experience: Paragon is the best gym around hands down. The programming is well structured and organized into different blocks each with a specific goal. This optimizes strength and conditioning and allows for continuous weight progression. The workouts are synced to an app so you can track your weights and continuously challenge your body. There is also progression through different levels of training each with a “test” that must be passed before advancing to the next level. The trainers are very positive and supportive. They encourage proper form and will also make modifications to your program as needed. Everyone is very friendly and the place is very clean and you don’t have to fight over equipment! Scroll down and you will not find a bad review about Paragon. I can not recommend Adam and his team highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Paragon is a great workout gym. Regardless of your ability, you feel welcomed and empowered to get stronger and fitter. The staff is amazing and they meet you where you are from a fitness perspective. They don't judge you, they encourage you to improve your fitness, your strength, and your flexibility. While I certainly see the results of my workouts, more importantly I FEEL the results-I am in less pain, am able to move more freely, and leave each workout with a sense of accomplishment at what my body can do. I highly recommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: I have been training at Paragon for 3 months with Kristen. To say that my time here has been life changing would be an understatement! Before joining Paragon, I found myself not being able to find the motivation to do everyday tasks. I couldn’t keep up with my two year old and his never-ending supply of energy. And I was struggling with my mental health. Kristen listened to where I was struggling and tailored workouts to give me some pretty amazing results in just 3 short months. I love that I get to be a part of Paragon. I look forward to my time there and it truly is just an inspiring place to be. Everyone goes out of their way to learn your name and you can just tell that everyone loves what they are doing. I love that Kristen has become not only my trainer, but my friend! I leave every workout feeling strong, happy, and confident in my abilities.

Fantastic experience: You’ll start off with a personal assessment of your fitness level, and a super cool (private) 3D scan of your whole body. You’ll be emailed an “avatar” of what you look like as well as very accurate measurements of your body. Clean and organized inside, lots of equipment! They run a very tight ship and the coaches are all incredibly helpful in correcting form and watching your tempo, which matter a whole lot more than just how much weight you can move around. I’m thankful to have found a place that will help me tailor my fitness needs with my ability and push me to grow without risking injury.

Fantastic experience: My experience working out and learning from Mr. Kobetic at Paragon Health & Fitness has been nothing short of exemplary. Highly recommend this clean and spacious facility to those interested in fitness at all levels!!

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Paragon for over a year now , and my experience has been so great that I upped my attendance recently. It was an excellent choice in order to benefit my overall health as I get older. All of the trainers are very knowledgeable and go above and beyond to really tailor training to an individual's specific needs. For instance, I am a runner, and the trainers I have worked with most frequently-Christie, Kristen, and Ravi - have spent significant time teaching me different exercises that have helped me overcome and prevent injuries. Everyone has been patient and understanding as I step off the roads into this new world, which I greatly appreciate. I have gone to many gyms over the years, but the expertise provided by the Paragon trainers sets it apart, and I feel I have found my special "fit". Paragon has helped me become a better, stronger runner and has shown me the numerous benefits of strength training. It truly is a hidden gem in Rocky River!

Fantastic experience: I joined Paragon a few months ago and it was easily one of the best decisions I’ve made! I was hesitant at first because I wasn’t sure I would enjoy a “work out class”, but paragon is so much more! Adam and the staff go out of their way to walk you through each exercise and answer any questions. Everyone in the gym is so friendly, and I truly look forward to classes each week!

Fantastic experience: I came into Paragon after relocating to the area. The trainers and the members are super friendly and welcoming. It has been a great way to both meet new people and get stronger. Each time I walk out of Paragon I feel like a million bucks. The workouts are thoughtful and inventive and I actually look forward to getting into the gym each session. All levels of fitness are welcome and there are no judgements.

Fantastic experience: Finding Paragon was one of the best things to happen to my health and mind. When I started training with the team, everyone made an effort to learn my name take the time to get to know me. Their friendliness and dedication to their clients sets them apart and makes the environment so welcoming- I always leave in a better mood than I showed up with! I’ve been training here for almost 6 months and the changes I’ve seen in my strength are insane. I’m doing things I never thought I would accomplish and it’s entirely due to Adam and the team believing in me and pushing me to become my best self. I am so grateful to be a part of this community of amazing people!!

Fantastic experience: Paragon Health + Fitness has consistently delivered high quality and knowledgeable training. There is never a concern about the cleanliness of the facility. Trainers are personable and always happy to adapt workouts for any reason!

Fantastic experience: Getting in shape and having a great time while doing it. The trainers who work here are knowledgeable, kind and patient. Would definitely recommend Paragon for all levels. We are so happy to be here, thank you!!

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Adam, the owner, in some capacity for over 8 years. Adam and his team of trainers are extremely knowledgeable. They are patient and listen to whatever issues you may have, and find ways to accommodate, correct, and improve my form. My trainer Kristen is fantastic, professional, and dedicated to my overall well-being. I am fortunate to have such a great trainer and positive influence in my life. As a Paragon client, I can use the full-body scanner, a phenomenal tool to track my progress. Next, the recovery time from my recent major surgery is a testament to how vital Paragon is to my family and me. Adam and his team maintain the facility well and ensure it is cleaned before the next client. I am grateful to have a safe, clean place to work out. If you enjoy Yoga and stretches, you need to try the “Move” on Thursday . Whether you are in shape or out of shape, Paragon has something for everyone.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Paragon for almost 3 years now and the team feels like family. Even after moving farther out of Cleveland's west side, I find myself making the 45 minute trip to Paragon multiple times a week. I depend on Paragon and its trainers to escape from the craziness of work and school - to focus on myself. My goals were to build strength and to do so using proper form; all things that Paragon's trainers have worked (and are working) with me on. I have had the opportunity to be in sessions with most of Paragon's trainers (Adam, Christie, Brad, Ravi, and Kristen), and each has their niche area. I have most recently trained with Kristen and appreciate her organizational skills, attention to detail, and encouragement. Again, I rely on Kristen's knowledge to improve my form and to track my progress. She consistently goes out of her way to work with my busy schedule, and I look forward to being a Paragon patron for years to come!

Fantastic experience: I love paragon! I’ve been working with Christie for about 2 1/2 months and my body is already changing. She’s the best!

Fantastic experience: I have been working out with Adam for over 10 years and have been at paragon since it opened. I have benefited greatly from all the different programs over the years but once paragon opened I have seen my best results. The space is great and has everything you could ever want from a gym. I have worked with all the staff but specifically in the last 1-2 years I have been working mainly with Ravi Kobetic. Ravi is close in age to myself and when we first met realized we both had many mutual friends. Ravi pushed me to weight lifting goals that I never thought were possible and never attempted until we started working together. Plain and simple the kid knows his stuff and is constantly progressing his knowledge of physical fitness and health and helping me learn along the way. With my first real program Ravi built for me all of my max weights went up significantly. When a few injuries started to pop up we altered programs to include a lot of mobility and body weight and my body has truly never felt better. I consider Ravi a good friend as well as the rest of the trainers and am happy they are all under one roof. If you are looking for results and a great atmosphere, Paragon is the spot!

Fantastic experience: My boyfriend Chris and I have been training with Brad Snow for about 6 months now. We were burnt out on workout apps from home mid pandemic and desperately needed a change. We toured Paragon with Adam and noticed how clean the gym was and how thorough the COVID policies were in terms of max occupancy, cleaning procedures, access to fresh air with the garage doors, and masks. Any concerns we had dissipated very quickly and we've been doing partner training a few times a week ever since. Chris and I are both feeling stronger and learning a lot. Brad is excellent at modifying workouts to meet us where we are that day, and clear and professional communication has been consistent from the entire staff since day one. Paragon is a really special place in Rocky River. Adam and Brad both go out of their way to introduce members to one another, and that's the kind of action that goes a really long way in making a gym feel more like a community. We moved to Cleveland a few months before the pandemic hit and hadn't fully hit our stride yet here. Long story short, Paragon has played a big role in making Lakewood/Rocky River feel more like home for us!

Fantastic experience: As a polio survivor, I decided to test the program at Paragon Health & Fitness after experiencing a steady decline in my flexibility, mobility, and strength specifically in my lower extremities, and my overall physical condition in general. Ms. Christie McFarland, a Lead Trainer at Paragon, conducted an initial assessment and has been following through with her self-designed program to address the issues she has identified from her assessment. The professionalism and the results of Ms. McFarland’s efforts are simply outstanding! I have noticeably improved in not only the physical aspects with my lower extremities, but in all aspects of my physical health. I have benefited greatly from the program that Ms. McFarland has developed specifically for me and I am very appreciative or her knowledge, approach, and expertise here and look forward to continued benefits as I age with this program at Paragon. I would personally recommend Paragon Health & Fitness in general for those who have interest in improving both their physical and mental health by inquiring and testing the benefits that can be gained with a specific program to improve one’s mobility, strength, and overall health.

Fantastic experience: Paragon has, hands down, the best trainers. They work with you to identify, set and achieve your goals, and to reassess when new goals are needed. They take the time to get to know you personally and to create individualized programs that push you in positive ways. Paragon is not just about the workout, it’s about an overall lifestyle, from fitness and nutrition to mobility and overall well being. Paragon’s facility is unparalleled. Large and spacious, with top of the line equipment. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working with Adam for a month and thrilled with my progress. The technology at Paragon has allowed me to focus on the metrics of body fat and lean muscle mass as opposed to just weight. This has been a game changer for me and I’ve never seen changes so quickly.

Fantastic experience: Greatest gym around. Staff is super friendly and trustworthy. I recommend this place to everyone who truly wants to make positive lifestyle changes. Easily the best decision I made was switching over to Paragon.

Fantastic experience: I've been around the fitness industry for over a decade and have not found a gym that offers more for their clients than Paragon. The staff at Paragon have been taught by some the brightest minds in healthcare and they truly have a passion for health. Adam and his staff do a great job individualizing their care and programing for every client. You will not be disappointed!!

Fantastic experience: The team at Paragon assesses and improves range of motion deficiencies utilizing Functional Range Systems, the same tenets we employ at Antidote Functional Therapies to treat mobility dysfunction. With this shared training philosophy, we are able coordinate efforts to provide individualized training plans to ensure continued progress and help clients reduce pain, regain strength and achieve optimal movement. In addition, their facility is always a clean, welcoming space. It's a pleasure partnering with the enthusiastic, intelligent trainers at Paragon to provide highly effective results!

Fantastic experience: I had the chance to visually document Adam and Christie's joint health routine and it was an absolute eye-opening experience! Not only did I learn about the importance of joint health, but I felt things I didn't even know existed in my joints as Christie took me through a session for my shoulder, an area in which I've had problems with for a while. I can confidently say that their professionalism and knowledge of joint health is something I wish everyone can experience. If you decide to try it out, you will not be disappointed! Their focus on your well-being is much better than any fitness establishment I have been to in the past, and I have tried out quite a few. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: The trainers at Paragon are amazing!! You will never have a ho-hum, run of the mill, boring workout with this team. Illness or injury? No problem. The entire staff is highly educated and they make everything so personable. There is truly no better place to train in Cleveland. Worth every penny.

Fantastic experience: Ravi Kobetic, fitness trainer, is knowledgeable, and gently nudges me to my limits safely. Clean and friendly place to work out. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great facility with even better trainers. Tremendous environment

Fantastic experience: Great experience there after a few training sessions. The staff is all very knowledgeable and have taught me new ways to stretch and work out.

Fantastic experience: Small shop that knows their stuff.

Fantastic experience: Not that long ago I was just beginning this amazing journey with Adam and Paragon. In this short time, not only has my nutrition improved but I have gone from working out ZERO times a week to 5-6 times a week. AND I actually look forward to my training! I really never thought those words would would come out of my mouth. Adam is tough but you have fun while you’re working hard too! I don’t think I’ve ever had anyone encourage me like he does and that makes me want to push harder! You can really tell that he and everyone at Paragon love what they do and want to help people be their best selves! Thank you for helping me on my journey! So, whether you are just starting out or if you’re already fit and are looking to reach more specific goals, I would 110% recommend Paragon!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Jess at Mobility Massage in Paragon. Had a wonderful massage that made my whole body feel so much better. I'll be going back for massages often!
