My kids are very competitive and all we hoped for was the kids to get in some good rolls and learn a technique or two. Decided to hit up local gyms near our hotel location and found Paragon Atascadero, a city we never even heard of. We set everything up through text message with a lady named Mallory and just like that the appointment was set. The gym is located inside a fitness gym which is pretty unique to us. Once we walked in, the lady in the front desk welcome us with open arms. Professor Chris was so welcoming, it was like we already knew each other. I can tell this man loves the art of Jiu Jitsu and the further development of it, in this area. We were the only Asian family in there but everybody that spoke to us was so welcoming and friendly. It was a small town but the people had giant hearts. This is all based off one visit and we got exactly what we were looking for. There is tons of potential for this place to grow. The mat space is huge, it's clean and the professor and coaches seemed very caring. My kids are grey belts, competed in many tournaments and won lots of medals. We been to many gyms to cross train all over Southern California and based off my own assessment, this gym is a must join if you live in the area. Highly recommended.

Bullet point information: -misinformed info from morning…read moreemployee call versus evening employee visit -one said no charge for one day visit and evening employee said that wasn't accurate -manager "Dash" did not apologize for the incorrect information or offer some sort of discount etc did not care. Very unapproachable and rude -shared my discontent (I drove two hours and planned ahead to check this gym out as I was moving into town) and manager Dash decides to walk away from me while we are having this conversation. Just walks away. As she walks away she is listing the price options making no eye contact. Rudest unprofessional behavior from a manager and lacking leadership in showing this type or behavior in front of their employees -as a business owner myself I immediately called out her inappropriate rude behavior and that is when they realized they could not treat customers this way and started to behave passive aggressively nice -I wanted to give them business but she ruined any type of desire to workout in a hostile environment -when initially asking what options were for one day visit they only listed week pass price multiple times. Never shared one day rate until we called out the inaccurate information as if they only wanted to charge the higher price. -a business who tries to secretly only charge you the higher price to visit should have better customer service if they are in need of money Recap: -Manager "Dash" extremely rude and unprofessional behavior, unapproachable. Not the type of manager a gym environment needs whatsoever -employees don't all have accurate information so double check if you ask questions -employees were nice during my engagement with them even though info was wrong -can't share on the facilities since I did not stay and went to Kennedy club and got a 100% better experience and customer service and perks like guest pass for family/friends who visit me.
