The majority of the “at-home workouts” available right now are focused primarily on conditioning. These workouts often look like 4-5 miscellaneous movements slammed together for as many reps or rounds as possible in a 20-40 minute time frame.
There’s no long-term structure or plan. Nor is there a focus on quality strength and lifting pieces, as everything is about accumulating reps for time.
Those types of random, at-home workouts will definitely make you sweat and get the endorphins going… but aren’t necessarily the most efficient route to build muscle or a great looking physique.
Whether you realize it or not, the body and appearance you desire likely has more muscle than you currently have now.
We can’t be endlessly dieting, as our body needs sufficient calories in order to build muscle. Conditioning is great and there’s nothing wrong with enjoying cardio, but it should definitely be paired with lifting heavy weights a few times a week, if possible.
There’s no such thing as “toning.” Being “lean” is a result of carrying more muscle and less fat. It’s incredibly hard for a female to get “bulky.” And we certainly aren’t going to appear “more shredded” if we lose weight UNLESS we’ve been lifting heavy and pushing it during workouts to build and maintain muscle.
If you want to look and feel damn good, it’s achieved by following a structured program, living an active lifestyle, and consistently eating well. Since day one, we’ve led with a unique style of evidenced-based programming to make training fun and help our members build muscle, enhance their physique, and help them look and feel their best.
With Bryan’s extensive background in programming and LCK’s 12+ years of dietetics schooling and experience coaching nutrition, we’re effectively taking the confusion of nutrition and fitness and helping thousands of people around the globe find better harmony with their body, food, and exercise ♥️

What Our Awesome Members Are Saying
"Paragon has been the greatest blessing of my life. I look forward to reading every single one of your questions, seeing your pets and little babies, and hearing every one of your stories. This program has helped me control my worst addiction, and given me the chance to see how strong I really am."
"6 weeks into Paragon and I just have to say - I am so happy with this program, coaches, and the paragon family.
I’m seeing more body comp changes than I ever did with 8 years of CF (the new definition in my quads, hammies and glutes!!). I love and look forward to all the workouts (today’s workout gave me serious shaky legs). I’m doing things that I can’t believe and pushing way past what I thought were my limits were. Mentally, I have completely flipped my workout mentality from “I have to workout as much as I can, high intensity all the time” to working out 4 (maybe 5) days a week via Paragon and that’s more than enough. I don’t feel burnt out, I get excited about every workout, and I thoroughly enjoy my rest days because these workouts are legit.
On top of that, I bought LCK’s ebook and have finally figured my maintenance cals and a way of eating that makes me happy - I eat my protein, my veggies, and enjoy allllll the carbs - really digging bowls of cereal right now. My body is thanking me for it big time.
I love reading through this FB group. Thank you all for motivating me and making me laugh! I am so excited to see where I am in 3/6/12 months from now."
"Two of the best things I have ever invested in: a home gym, and Paragon training. I am super thankful to have both right now"
"I wish I had a picture from when I started Paragon in February, but this is my back now and my back two years ago. I am so freaking happy since I started Paragon and I have barely any CrossFit background."
"I get asked all the time if I compete in figure -- I actually just workout for the sake of my sanity through nursing school. I put in the work religiously, but hands down to the creators of this programming that builds strong bodies!"
"MAMA FEELS SO FLIPPEN STRONG THIS WEEK! ... I love this programming & community SO much. Last week was great and this week I'm hitting weights that I haven’t in a while due to my surgery last June. i’m hella impressed I squatted 205# at 62X1 tempo with ease. I’m 28 weeks pregnant and feeling SO good!"
“I started Paragon after doing Crossfit for 4 years. I needed something new, a program that was going to keep me strong/fit, something I could occasionally do from home with minimal equipment, and something that wasn’t going to totally destroy me after every workout. Laurie and Bryan’s Paragon Training programming has checked all those boxes and more...regardless if I’m following the Paragon workouts or if I’m short on time and do the ‘Quickie’, there has never been a workout programed by them I didn’t enjoy. I even got my wife (who was pregnant at the time) into it after she resisted for months (she was diehard Orange Theory until she tried a Paragon Quickie workout). She kept asking what the next workout was and now she’s also hooked. Aside from the amazing programming, the community of Paragon peeps is as strong if not stronger than a lot of Crossfit gym’s I’ve been a part of. Thank you guys!”
"Paragon is a game changer. I’ve done high intensity programs(like CrossFit) for nearly 15 years. Every day, I felt super beat up and broken. 1 month into Paragon and I feel so much better. Tempo, tutorials and guidance is given by Bryan and LCK.. This is the best I’ve ever felt!"
