Ryan is so well informed about pain/injury and how to move forward from these.
He listens carefully and offers complete and innovative solutions and not the same old same old stuff.
I deeply appreciate his wisdom and willingness and ability to get out of the box in his thinking and exercises

Paragon is a life saver. They are knowledgeable and amazing at thinking outside the box. It’s work but it’s so fun. I’ve been to a lot of “gyms” and there isn’t anything that compares to Paragon. Best ever!

Can't recommend Paragon strongly enough. They make me want to move to Flagstaff. For real.

Hands down, Paragon and their trainers are the best of the best movement guides I've ever met. I've worked with Ryan 1x1, attended in-person group fitness classes, subscribed to the online training library, and completed the online ski/slopes training protocol.

Across the board, their programming is thoroughly researched, incredibly creative, and unequivocally challenging!

Check em' out if you're serious about any of the following:
1 - Addressing nagging/chronic/mystery injuries
2 - Preparing for your sport
3 - Wanting a healthy dose of humor and uplifting spirit along with your workout

My experience with everyone at Paragon has been amazing. I'm coming back from a minor knee surgery and Laurel has been an amazing listener and able to adapt my sessions to match my ability. I feel encouraged, supported, and empowered to work hard. My progress over the last month has been steady and measurable. Highly recommend Paragon.-Maggie T.

I went to see Ryan 10 days prior to a 50k (in sand dunes no less) with heel pain that had been nagging for months. With just some simple exercises I was able to toe the line with zero pain on my heels and finish the grueling course. The best part is that just two days after the race I returned to my running routine and still no heel pain! Thank you Ryan!

It was great working with Ryan Whited. Very intuitive and personable approach. After describing a lower leg issue related to running, Ryan and I worked through a number of movements and found several that seemed to target the issue. The exercises have been making a noticeable difference and the lower leg issue is definitely improving.

Ryan and his team at Paragon were absolutely outstanding. From the moment we walked through the door, they greeted us with genuine warmth and made us feel right at home. We came in seeking a gait analysis for my son, a high school runner, in hopes of identifying any imbalances and developing a plan to enhance his running economy.

Ryan immediately understood our objective and wasted no time in getting to work. He not only prescribed a series of effective drills to strengthen my son's areas of weakness, but he also took the time to explain the purpose behind each exercise in great detail. It was clear that Ryan thought deeply about our goals and tailored the routine specifically to meet our needs. This level of personalized attention was truly impressive and set Paragon apart from other facilities we have been to in the past.

To add to our wonderful experience, Ryan's wife (presumably) was equally accommodating and friendly. She greeted us with a smile and went the extra mile to help us connect with other high school kids in the area, so that my son could find running partners and socialize during his summer stay. Her genuine kindness and willingness to assist truly made a lasting impression.

I cannot praise Paragon enough for their unparalleled expertise and exceptional customer service. Our visit surpassed all expectations, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in need of sports performance analysis and training. This experience was nothing short of wonderful, leaving us feeling confident and excited about my son's continued progress. Thank you, Ryan and the Paragon team, for an outstanding experience!

I had a terrific one on one session with Ryan. He was attentive, a good listener, and seemed very interested in finding unique and personal goals for me to work through some of my challenges. I finished the session feeling optimistic and hopeful about physical recovery from some limitations. He's just a very easy going and knowledgeable person to spend time with. I will be consulting with him again for sure.

I have been going to Paragon for at least the past 5 years, and every visit has been amazing. Ryan knows a laundry list of "out-of-the-box" exercises to fix what you broke. If you have a climbing injury- this is the place, and Ryan is you guy.

I injured my shoulder climbing and spent the next 8 months frustratingly going from PT to PT with little to no results. I was ready to walk away from the sport I loved until a friend mentioned Paragon and talked about the results he had seen. I met with Ryan weekly, and slowly but surely my shoulder began to heal. I was able to start pushing my limits again and am almost back to climbing at my previous level. I am so grateful for the work Ryan did with me and would recommend Paragon to anyone who is looking to get back to speed after an injury. Thank you Ryan!

My experience with Paragon was truly phenomenal. Ryan and Laurel are both extremely knowledgeable, experienced and warm people. I had a top notch gait analysis and training session and left with more knowledge about how to strengthen my body for running and stay injury-free. Best of all, the exercises Ryan shared with me were personalized to MY individual needs. It was clear that the folks at Paragon are passionate about what they do, and great at it. Loved my experience here!

You might have had helpful physio/PT before but Paragon is a a different level. Nowhere else did I learn what muscles I can activate and strengthen to boost my running endurance, avoiding pain and optimize running form. The same approach works for other athletes like climbers, equestrians, swimmers. Unsurprisingly, all staff are great athletes themselves. Highly recommended!

Decades as an athlete and a physician have taught me that there is no substitution for mindful training when it comes to keeping yourself on the trail, in the water or in the game. When my own time tested methods began to fail I turned to Paragon and quickly learned that they have the best approach I've ever encountered. I truly feel that Laurel is like a Jedi and I can feel the force building.

3 months ago I had difficulty hiking more than 7 miles due to hip/back pain. I had a gait evaluation with Laurel followed by corrective exercises with follow ups and last week completed 17 mile hike With NO problems except 1 small foot blister. I didn’t need to ice any joints and felt great the next day!!! Woohoo!!
Laurels knowledge, insight and encouraging nature is amazing. If you want to do what you couldn’t do before, see Laurel and just do what she says!!!!!😊

I have been doing workouts with paragon for over a decade and I think that I just keep getting stronger. The trainers here are unique individuals with skills that you won’t find anywhere else. I could not recommend a friendlier more helpful place to push your physical limits.

I’ve been training with Paragon Athletics for over ten years and look forward to another ten. The knowledge and more importantly passion and compassion with which Ryan, Laurel, and Betsy approach their craft is hard to describe, other than to say they are at the pinnacle of the industry. As a dad, outdoor athlete, and flight paramedic I rely on the training at Paragon to keep me fit, functional, and strong so I can meet the needs of these various roles. Now with the advent of their on-line courses and focused training it has allowed me to continue training even when I’m short on time. I recommend Paragon Athletics to family, friends, co-workers, and even the odd stranger here and there! Thanks to the team for all the hard work building a fantastic, open and accepting program and facility. Can’t wait to see you soon.

Just when I thought it wasn’t possible for Paragon to get any more amazing…well, it did!! I have two kiddos and it isn’t always possible to get in to the gym… now they offer online and in-person classes! Problem solved! Of all of the gyms I have gone to, I have never encountered another like Paragon. Ryan, Laurel and Betsy really care. They really get to know you and all of your injuries and/or areas that may need some extra love, or just what your focus and goals are. Get ready for physical and mental growth through mobility, conditioning and strength.They really love what they do and those of us that walk through their doors or log-in from home. It shows in all that they do.

I’ve been with Paragon for many years and I can’t speak highly enough of Ryan, Betsy and Laurel. I’d describe myself as a lifelong athlete and their programming has helped maintain a high level of fitness and functional mobility to perform my work as a firefighter.
