On a family road trip up the coast and part of the plan was to let our kids cross train while we…read morevacay. 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.

I joined their six week bootcamp class and after 3 classes I knew this was the gym for me. Once my bootcamp was over I signed up for a year! The trainers are exceptional. They keep classes fun and fast paced. They offer support and training in a safe and motivational way. This is truly a judgement free zone. Beginners and seasoned athletes alike work side by side without judgement or the usual snide comments you often find at other gyms. I haven't felt this good about myself or my body in years. When I first joined I could barely do a sit up! By the end of my class I was able to do several. Pit North is truly a family atmosphere and I am so happy that I made the decision to change my life forever.

They really pay attention to each student, meet them where they are, and help them grow at their own pace. It's not just about learning techniques; it's about shaping character.

I love this gym!…read more There's a wide array of clean and new equipment with lots of free weights. There's also a Brazilian Ju-Jitsu room and classes along with another room for fitness group classes. Everything is so clean and new, they have disinfectant all around the gym along with towels to clean the equipment you're using, but even then, I see staff members going around wiping down the machines regularly and changing out the towels as well. All the staff are very nice and will usually greet you. I go in the day time so it's fairly empty and I always get to work out on all the equipment I want to use. I believe they have a massage room but I think it's closed due to COVID.
