Paragon is making waves in the fitness/wellness industry. We believe strong and confident looks good on everybody and every body and that the way you eat and exercise should provide freedom and peace of mind.
Paragon Fitness
As a former marathon runner and CrossFit Regional competitor, it’s safe to say I love working out and pushing my body to the limits.
But I was constantly feeling run down, beat up, and exhausted. At the core of things, I just wanted to look damn good — and despite training for hours on end each week, that wasn’t the case.
When I gave up CrossFit, I was bouncing back from shoulder surgery, overtraining, thyroid dysfunction, hormone issues, and adrenal woes.
I worked closely with Bryan Boorstein to find programming that was conducive to letting my body heal, while also maximizing my physique and appearance.
We quickly realized too much intensity, conditioning, or certain rep schemes while lifting were a hard no.. but we discovered a way of programming that was the best of all worlds.
Paragon Train
The programming was still fun. Still conducive to improving body appearance aesthetics. And still conducive to increasing strength. More importantly – I FELT better, and my sleep quality, sex drive, hunger, mood, and body composition were coming around in a positive way. That was when we knew we had to share it with the world.
Healthy, strong, and confident looks good on everyone. And you don’t have to kill yourself in the gym to feel good, look great, and live your best life.

Our Paragon program is kinda like if functional fitness prioritized giving you an amazing physique and body comp. If you get bored of workouts easily, if you love high-intensity exercise, or if come from a CrossFit background, this is the program for you.
Paragon contains a little bit of the things you love: Olympic lifting (snatch/clean), barbell cycling, functional fitness components (DB snatches, assault bike, rowing, etc), and most days end with a short metcon-like work or conditioning piece. But Paragon also contains a whole lot of the things you need: like our world-famous style of bodybuilding and lifting guaranteed to help you look/feel damn (hello bicep curls, lateral raises, bench press, hip thrusts, tempo + pause work..)
Paragon is a 60-minute progressive overload program. Training cycles are 6-weeks long. You can join at anytime due to our app.

Physique is our most popular program for those who want to look and feel damn good
Physique is also the best option for those who are burnt out on high-intensity exercise, those dealing with hormone/thyroid/menstrual cycle issues, and our favorite program for shift workers and pregnant/PP mommas.

DB Physique is a dumbbell-only version of our most popular program: Physique. By subscribing to Physique, you'll get access to both versions of the Physique programming
We pulled out all the stops on an "at-home" progressive overload program to help everyone build muscle and work towards their goals while working out with minimal equipment from the safety of their home
We launched this during shutdown... and it was so popular, that our members begged we keep it as a permanent workout program. DB Physique takes 60 minutes and training cycles are 12-15 weeks long

Equipment Required:
A minimum of 2-3 Pairs of Dumbbells, Bench

Conditioning + HIIT will make you sweat, but won't necessarily help you build muscle nor guarantee a great physique. Quickie workouts are insanely fun and will help you build lean muscle (without requiring tons of your time or workout equipment)
Quickie workouts take 30 minutes. They're great great for those working out from home, new parents, travel, or just badasses short on time
Quickie is also great for those who are beginners/new to lifting. Many people follow Quickie for a few months and then eventually ease into one of our 60-minute programs

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 celebrate my body and 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! 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!"
“Shout out to the team behind Paragon. I’ve been following the Physique program for about a year.
It was a year when I went through divorce, continued to battle my PCOS symptoms, and, like everyone else, endured the year that was 2020.
Not only has Paragon + the Paragon community changed me physically - but it has transformed my mindset on health and fitness.
Generally, I’ve never looked forward to working out and have done it out of necessity.
Now, I look forward to going to gym and seeing a different kind of progress, based on strength and capability.
I am proud of my body, and I feel strong and confident in the gym. It’s amazing to see what my body and mind are capable of doing.
I celebrated the New Year by climbing a mountain that would have been too scared to climb at any other point in my life.
Thank you to the Paragon team and this family for the support and constant encouragement!”
“Aging doesn’t have to be daunting. Yes, our bodies go through tons of hormonal changes, but it’s not the end of the world.
I’m actually a CrossFit coach, but I do very little crossfitting now that I’m 53 years old.
Bodybuilding and lifting weights is what makes me and my body feel the best.
I’ve had Systemic Lupus for 20+ years and am proud to say I take 0 medication for it and have it completely under control with diet + exercise.
Cheers to being strong and well-fed!
I especially love working my back muscles, even though I can never see them as they make me feel strong as hell.
I eat mindfully, stay away from processed food, and lift heavy weight 4-5x a week. I just started my second cycle in Physique and can’t wait to see all the gains coming my way.
Show up, be consistent… and don’t let age hinder your progress ♥️
Thank you Paragon for great programming and an awesome community!”
